NanoJrFL Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Anybody know people/stores/retailers/online stores in South Florida. I'm mainly looking for a way to keep shipping costs down when buying coral. Link to comment
johnrbek Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Stores... Drive down Bird Rd.. I don't remember all the names but go to yellowpages.com and check for specifics... Theres one on about 72nd and Bird and few more around 82nd Ave. There's also one of 117th & Sunset and a few further south of US1... I don't shop much up north, but there's probably more up that way too... People: That's where I might be able to help you... I know a guy up near Movieco off I-75 that has a huge huge tank that's selling coral frags... especially sps frags... Theres also a guy off Miracle Mile & Douglas that sells frags too... He actually was selling xenias to the LFS last year... I've sent emails to them both just now to see if I can put you in contact with them. If your looking for Coral frags, you're better off buying locally from these guys cause #1 Its alot cheaper than the LFS #2 Alot safer for the Corals.. a 45 min trip is better than an overnight one! Good luck. JB Link to comment

johnbntampa Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I live in Tampa... There are a few great places to go around here to get stuff. Where in South Florida are you guys? Link to comment
LITTLEFISHEE Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 NanoJrFL: The store I go to is in Boca Raton, Take the sawgrass to 10th, hop on I-95, go north to Palmetto Park rd. On 2nd Ave (Boca Raton Blvd) make a left. It's right past Glades on the west side of the rd in a pink shopping center called Grace's. The stores name is the Barrier Reef. They don't ship, but I think it would be worth the drive, they are a little pricey, but I've bought very healthy corals and other livestock there. Link to comment
LITTLEFISHEE Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Oh yeah, don't get off I-95 at Glades rd, it's always a nightmare. Link to comment

3twenty5 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 1.) Coral Seas - Off 441 & Commercial 2.) All-Ocean(I think) Pembroke road, just west of I-95 3.) Reef-Life Stirling Road and Anglers Ave and Barrier... Coral Seas is the #1 spot, Rob is a great guy and great prices Link to comment
LITTLEFISHEE Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Static: Is/was your tank 20 gallons tall or long? I have a 20 gallon long I bought for 20 bucks at petsupermarket. As long as all of your equipment is okay, get a brand new one. Was this your nano-reef that leaked? I had a heater malfunction yesterday. The tank got up to 85 before I got home from work. I am concerned for my bubble and hammer corals. Link to comment
staticx1134 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 no, the tank was a 39flat back hex....every thing is ok now i started up a 55gal that i gave to my sis for her turtles....i am suprised that i didnt loose any fish...Thanks for your concern Eddie Link to comment
