crimsonvice Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 My favorite LFS is @AquariumArtisans in Cincinnati. Some nice coral and fish, and their prices are reasonable. Selection is always fresh, and they always have a few cool fish/coral frags. Store is smaller, but word on the street is they may be upgrading! I have been to Rivers to Reefs in Columbus. Nice place. Large selection of saltwater and freshwater fish. Coral was way overpriced. Reef Systems Coral Farm is cool. Large place and the growout vats in the green house are neat to see. The 900 display is pretty awesome. Have a large amount of Neptune and Ecotech products on hand if your into that. Coral seemed to be pretty much the same few pieces in each coral tank, and they were asking way to much for very common coral. jeff70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euphylin me Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 honestly i think a good thread would be people who have frag tanks that sell and trade coral on a regular and their location music, crimsonvice and jeff70 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchute85 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I second reef systems coral in New Albany near Columbus. I went in there about a month ago and they have a really nice selection and helpful staff. On the back side of the store they have a green house with large coral farm tanks with very well priced frags. I was able to get a selection of frags for $10, $15, and $20 a head.

Nope they are open everyday and have hours listed on their website. It's not a huge store (two main rooms and a green house), but they have a large selection of coral throughout the display tanks and green house. The two main rooms are probably 20x15 and the green house is probably 20x20. The green house has 4 large tanks that sit on the ground that you look down into and they are packed with different types of corals, clams, and some fish. The other store I read good reviews on but have never been to is Matt's Coral store about 20 min south of Reef Systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamj06 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Rivers to reefs, Gahanna, Ohio, seems like a nice place. Visited for the first time a week ago. matts coral-Gahanna, Ohio, has a great shop. Very clean both in tanks and the store. Reasonably priced as well and quite a few sumps on hand. fish n stuff- Athens, Ohio has a good selection of freshwater and a handful of saltwater. Always decent priced dry goods with some reptile selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
