Does any one know if there are any reef stores in Bellingham or the area?

I made a quick stop at Chronic Reefer last weekend and wasn't overly impressed with the selection of livestock etc. It's a tiny store. Maybe their stock is low right now. I guess I shouldn't judge from one quick visit. Some decent corals but nothing much better than I have seen locally. I'm still hoping that some of the local shops can get some really colourful zoas and softies etc. like some of the stores out east or in the US.

Stopped in to eat at a fish and chips place about 2 blocks away (I think it was called The Shrimp Shack) that had a reef tank that was in bad shape. Lots of aptasia and algae growth. It was sad to see. I don't know who takes care of it but the fellow from Chronic Reefer was the one who recommended the place for lunch.

I've always wondered but never checked, is it a problem to bring livestock back over the boarder?

Hello,

I've stopped in there a bunch of times while in Bellingham... Cool little shop. I've seen it both light on livestock and jammed packed.

We are pretty spoiled with the big shops here with the huge selections. I think if you're driving all the way there for that store, (or any store), it's pointless. If your there anyways, check it out.

Also, the best place I've eaten is "Bay Street Brew Pub", I think?

Thanks for the info. I was just looking for a place to kill some time while my wife and kids go shopping.

I am even more excited about your "Bay Street Brew Pub" recommendation . Thanks!!

Anyone ever been to Bob's Burger & Brew??
