lfs in chattanooga tn

im looking to start a 75g tank and looking for a good fish store in chattanooga tn i know a couple but wondering if anyone recommends any thank you also if anybody knows of any around Murfreesburo tn thank you

 

anyone? Geekdafied would be the one to ask, but he hasn't been on in a while. I'm IM him and ask. I'll be back when I get a reply, unless you have one sooner!

Edit...nope he doesn't know. He said there are a bunch out of business, but to look in the yellow pages or online and start calling. Unless someone here knows a name of one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

 

We go to Fifth Day Creations. Excellent store. It's just south of downtown Chatt, probably 1.5-2 hours from you. In East Ridge. Our favorite store, all of our fish have come from there and even my mantis.

5th Day Creations - Saltwater Reef only
1463 N Mack Smith Rd
East Ridge, TN 37412

There's also a store called Bermude Triangle near Chattanooga, it deals in Fresh and Saltwater aquarium stuff. However, I hate their liverock and fish selection. You can always find dead fish in the display tanks and their rock is covered in all kinds of crap that alot of people don't want. They are notorious for having mantis hitchhikers. The only thing we've bought from them is base rock.

I know that this is off topic...and i'm sure there are some nice lfs in chattanooga...but i can't but mention the chattanooga choo choo...now double karma for whoever knows what i'm talking about...i apologize for the randomness

 

"Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Track twenty nine,
Boy, you can give me a shine.
I can afford,
to board a Chattanooga Choo Choo.
I've got my fair,
and just a trifle to spare"
That Chattanooga Choo Choo? There's also a restaurant, i think. I think I ate there when I was like 12. Or something.

There's also a stupid '80s movie.

One of those has got to be right, right? Am I disqualified for living in Chatt town?

 

lol thank you i will go by fifth day ive been by bermuda just didnt like the feeling i got an seemed a little high on some stuff thanks everyone for your help anyone else

 

haha the first one!! I'm a big fan of big band tunes

good job kiddo

 

Jwin where do you get your stuff

 

I'm not sure what you mean by stuff, but we get most of our stuff either online, or from 5th day. Almost all livestock came from 5th day except for our Clean Up Crew.

5th Day:
corals (they have an amazing coral selection)
live rock
mag float
sand
salt

Most of our equipment was online, however we didn't know that 5th price matched on some online stuff : Or at least, they willingly drop their prices. A buddy of mine got a $300 light fixture for $225 from them.

They don't carry a whole lot of equipment in store, it's mainly livestock and maintenance equipment. But they can order almost anything you throw at them.

And yes, Bermuda is overpriced on alot of stuff. They have good base rock though

 

Oh and I just noticed that you are planning on starting a tank, meaning you haven't aquired one yet. They have several reef ready systems in the store. They have a nice empty 90g in there that's been in there for a while, as well as a 40 breeder they had last week. Alot of their tanks they sell come and go.

Oh, and they're upgrading the store. They took out the back closet and bathroom, and are adding roughly 1/3 of their current gallon size on to the store. Including sticking a 300 gallon display tank in the back.
