Orlando, Tampa FL area/ what's worth visiting

[goofyreefer]

Just wanted to see if any one could recommend some place to visit while in Orlando and Tampa. Looking for some good LFS that cater towards corals and inverts.

Thanks

While in Tampa, visit Coral Reef Aquariums on N. Armenia at Waters Ave. It's a small shop but he has a very nice selection with spotless tanks and store.(coralreefaquariums.com) PH 813-915-8626. He will ship for you too. There's another store on Hillsborough Ave. named Marine Warehouse Aquarium.(marinewarehouseinc.com) PH. 813-884-0787. These are the two "must stops" while in Tampa.

I would probably worry about the rat while in orlando and hit the fish places in tampa. Ocean blue in orlando 407-679-3557 is a pretty good shop, but I have to agree with the suggestion of marine warehouse in tampa. You also have tb saltwater which is open like 12-3 on saturdays for the public.
Word of caution, do not go to the florida aquarium in tampa if you have been to many other public aquariums. It was the forth and worst I have been to.

I would reccomend Fish and Other Icthy Stuff in Oldsmar (right outside of Tampa) over both Marine Warehouse and TB Saltwater. Maybe also Petmart in St Pete (not the chain Petsmart!)

could someone tell me the address of Fish and Other Icthy Stuff in Oldsmar?

Thanks

The address is: 105 Fairfield street; phone is 813 -891-4291. Call them and ask for directions cause its kind of tricky.
