    So, for me to drive to a half decent LFS that sells frags and mature corals, it is at least 50 miles (which means the L in LFS doesn't apply). I love looking at what I am going to buy before hand, but would be willing to buy site unseen to save some $$. I am well aware of LiveAquaria, but think they are a little pricey compared to a few others I have found. So help me out here 3reef'ers!! Tanks a lot (pun intended...not first time you have seen that one huh....:cheesy:)

    Reef Empire on Ebay. Very good frags. Every once in a while, you will see a colony.

    I see you're in the NHouston group. Have you checked out this space?

    3reef Forums - LFS in North Houston Area


    I list and review several Houston area LFS there.

    For coral, T&T is frickin awesome. It's a drive for me, but well worth it IMO.

    Haha I live 10 miles from t&t and fishland. t&t are crazy with sps, but fishland is all about their fish, corals are nice too. Personally though I think fish land is a better store for an extra 10 minute drive. Just imo

    I am slightly North of The Woodlands. I have been down to City Pets which is my favorite, buti s quite a drive. I would prefer frags, which seem to be skim pickings around here....local suggestions are also appreciated.
