  1. LFS: Coral Connection, Kenner, Louisiana

    Before attending Fragniappe, I had the opportunity to visit this fish store. Coral Connection is a two-story business with a history. Years ago, it was a place to hang out, where you enjoyed a daiquiri and talked about the hobby. Over time, it morphed into a full business, but as you walk around you still feel like it used to be a bar.

    As soon as I walked in, I was amused by the sign on the door.

    During my trip to sunny California last week, my first stop was AquaSD. I've followed their online postings for a while, but had never gotten inside the store. Until now.

  3. LFS: PureReef in Alpharetta, Georgia

    Another destination stop I had to make whilst in Georgia was PureReef. It is a spacious clean store with attention to detail. The woodwork throughout the store was enviable and made the establishment enjoyable to peruse.



    When you first walk in, you see the easy chairs facing the twin 400g displays. One is fish-only, the other a full-blown reef.

  4. LFS: SEA Atlanta

    While visiting the Atlanta Reef Club last week, I had the opportunity to visit Southeast Aquariums, a higher end store for those that appreciate only the best gear and livestock. The aim of this business is to cater to those that seek quality - and they didn't let me down.



    Sea Atlanta is spacious and clean, meticulously thought out. When you first walk in, to the right is a 50% in-wall reef tank, and to ...

  5. LFS: Fish2morow, Fort Worth, Texas

    On November 5, 2011, Fish2morow had its Customer Appreciation Day with some amazing specials. Upon my arrival at 10am, there was already quite a group forming at the front door. You had to get a ticket to get in, but I was allowed in immediately with my press pass: a Nikon D90. The reasoning for the tickets was to avoid overcrowding the store; each customer was given direct attention as a salesman became available.
