I've been there, small but cool guys nice coral . I'm not sure how far your looking to drive but in new York city we have tons of shops. Couple good ones in Brooklyn & long Island. Link to comment
moralesk214 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm not too sure where in Westchester you are but there's a great shop in Greenwich called house of fins. Travel time from white plains is about 20min. Link to comment

newbiereeferrob Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I will definitely visit the one in Greenwich, the city is a little far for me, i live in putnam county(I asked about westchester because I dont mind driving there and I know theres not much in putnam) which is the next county north of westchester. if any of you were wondering I found a pretty solid place in Mt.Kisco NY called Complete Aquarium. great livestock and corals, a bit pricy though. Very knowledgable owner, no BS kind of guy. Link to comment

Very knowledgable owner, no BS kind of guy. unfortunately I've had bad experiences with them, could have just been a bad day and I took the brunt of it. But yes the quality is okay, pricy yes... Like I said just a bad experience with them personally. Whichs why I started going to the one in Greenwich. Unfortunately parking is trick but great stock, quality & quantity. And extremely knowledgable. Link to comment

moralesk214 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Personally I believe so... For instance the one in Mt Kisco tried charging me $45 for a single stalk on a frogspawn verses $20 for frogspawn, torch, or hammer in Greenwich. They also tried selling me a clearly unfed and pitiful looking dendro with 4 stalks for $200 when they couldn't even tell me if it's ever been opened or fed... ? Link to comment
jolee0722 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you want to travel to queens, New York Reef Aquatic is a great store. Like everyone has stated above, there are a lot of good stores in the new york city area. A lot of the good stores in the area are sponsors on the manhattanreefs forum, so you might want to check that forum out. Link to comment
