Local Aquarium Stores

[BIG SEY 93]

I read both good and bad reviews of the local shops on this forum each day. I certainly understand the frustration at times with this hobby. Every person has their own perception of what is good value and what constitutes good service. Personally, I love all of the local saltwater stores. I was just looking on of my tanks and realized that I have five fish and they all come from different local shops:

Juv Aussie Halequin Tusk: Aqua Addicts
Clownfish Pair: Jay's Aquatics
Magnificant Foxface: Unique Aquaria
Red Longjaw Wrasse: Oceans in Glass


For me, the more stores the better. Competition is good!

Moved to "reef talk". OP is asking for some discussion, that is not allowed in Vendor Experiences, but is allowed in RT.

Everyone's going to have their own perception's, experience's, and if they shop around often enough it's bound to happen most anywhere eventually. We have a lot of great choice's in the commonwealth or not far from the border.
It's a shame though some places can have thousands of great customer experience's, and it's the few bad one's that are like daggers. I like to make my choice on a particular shops strong points, depending on what i'm shopping for. Every shop has their weak points.
