Gold Aquarium on 17 ave NE
471 J 17 Ave se

And Wia's On 16 ave NE

Check them all out if you can, but definatly hit up Wai's and Big Al's.

For LR, Gold aquariums = 2/3 the price, twice the quality (normally).

Check out Oceans as well. They usually have lots of live rock. Doesn't seem to have as much 'life' on it but VERY coraline encrusted if you want that. They are on center street just north of 20Ave and just north of Tuxedo sports.
