I live in sarasota county. Seascape carries a lot of tanks but they are way over priced on their tanks, dry goods, and livestock.They realy don't even have a lot of coral either. They wanted $60 for a frag of mushrooms that only had two shrooms on it. And they wanted $70 for yellow polyp that had like 5 tiny polyps on it. The place is the biggest rip off. I usualy go to puss and pups or the venice pet center. I got a price on a new 46 gallon bow front with a stand and glass top and it was $495. I just ordered one from the venice pet center for $300. Plus there throwing in 10lbs. of base rock and like livesand.

I am familar with all the stores mentioned so far, and yes Sea Scapes is really pricey, and Ocean env. isn't bad, but try Aquarium Reef Center in Cape Coral. There are 2 stores that are way more reasonable on prices. 239-540-9130

i had forgotten about that new store called aquarium. trigger digger may be right, i stopped into that store only once so far and from what i saw they were right in line as far as prices and selection. you might want to give them a call. and i think i may stop back over there this weekend. thanks trigger for reminding me about that place.

The new store is also called Aquarium Reef Center, the light up sign outside just says Aquarium. They sell 125 gallon tanks as cheap as petsmart, predrilled with an overflow no less. I also know they drive to Miami & hand pick ALL fish & Coral each week to get the best ones.
