hello from the southeast of OHIO!

Hey folks,
Can you recommend a good LFS store for corals as near to southeast ohio as possible? Thanks, i like my local guy, but am looking for some more options!

 

Welcome! Where in Southeast are you?

 

As southeast as it gets! Marietta, ohio on the WV border!

 

Can't really help you out, but welcome to 3reef!

 

lol sticksmith! its only a 3000 mile drive for ya!lol

 

Thats not too far from parkersburg right?

From the best memory serve's you'd have to do some good driving to see much. I would think either Columbus or Pittsburgh to see or find much of anything.

 

That's what I'm thinking!

 

I dont know much about Columbus stores. I grew up south of pittsburgh. When I was last in PA (mid summer), there was a place called Wet Pets south of Pittsburgh which wasnt too bad. More SW fish than corals, but a pretty nice store and since it was south out of town its prices werent too bad compared to the in city mark ups.

Your at the same impass as I am where I live now. I have St. Louis about 2 hours away & Springfield about an hour away the other direction. An hour doesnt sound like much and in reality it isnt but they always seems to be next to nothing to choose from out of the very little in stock to begin with.

So with the price of a tank of gas you pay about the same in gas as you would with shipping & handling. I dont make a trip either direction for something hobby specific anymore. Sure there is the risk factors of ordering online (not seeing it eat, health, shipping stress), but I can get exactly what I am looking for online. Add in bigger places like LA/DD offer a live guarentee its almost a better bet imo.

 

yeah, i've had good luck getting a few CUC's online! Only one little issue which was resolved! I'm a good 2 hours from there, so 4 hours of driving! Guess i'll just stick to online!

Thanks for teh help!
