Red Coral is across from Sir Winston Churchill High School.

In the corner of the larger parking lot next to Mac's.

We need more in the South! The only option is really Elite, which I find to be a LOT more expensive than others in the city.

DITTO, I don't deal with them anymore.

I like:
- Red Coral - Kevin is the owner - great guy and is trying to specialize in great coral (SPS, rare zoas). He doesn't have a large fish selection, but when he does get some, he is trying to get things other LFS don't have.
- Gold's - Dennis is the owner - I would say he was the best in the city for everything, but I am finding that he is moving back to his roots. Doing more chichlids and fresh water stuff. He still has great pricing, but I find his salty selection not that good anymore. Therefore my 1-2 visits a week has now dropped to a visit every few or more months
- Ocean City - I have bought a few things there. Can only say that they are friendly and tanks are very clean.

That is about it, have fun zooming around to see all the stores, I am sure you will find your favourite.

Take note of what others do say about some other LFS, learn from their experiences, as not all are equal and some are not very reputable.

Edit: Also JL (online) is probably the best for anything in hardware and supplies. I buy all my supplements from them, my new lights, and much more. They will certainly save you money, no LFS can really compete.
