visiting orland park...stores?

macawmagic · 03/23/2008, 09:01 PM

I'll be coming up in a couple weeks to visit my old town of orland park. Used to live there, but 3 years ago we moved down to ft. lauderdale, FL. Any good stores located there? Not sure what reefing up there is like compared to down here. Lets just say, withing a 1hr. drive I know like 40-50 stores. Is it that dense up there or no?
thanks for the help.

any addresses/phone numbers for those stores? thanks for the quick response. also if theres a store that's a little drive away, but is worth going. I'd be interested in driving. If I end up buying anything and having it shipped back, it'll have to be something rare. I'm trying to get outa the normal corals as I've got no space to put corals anymore. realistate is very limited right now.

Check out zoyzoy.com for addresses phone numbers and hours. There is a place in brookfield you have to visit if you are looking for rare corals. We can't talk about it here though you'll have to google it.

Went to all 3 of those a few days ago looking for a B-Day fish and I was disappointed each time. I was looking for some gobies, wrasses or tangs. Each place had a purple tang which was one on my list. But each store I went to, they looked worse and worse. I get that some people have a hard time with purple tangs and health(don't understand it, but I get it), but that doesn't explain why atleast 90% of all the fish looking bad at each store. I was desperate for a fish, but didn't get anything at any of those stores. I stopped by Reef Depot(20ish minutes from Go Fish) and went home with not 1 fish, but 4! Here is a link.
