LFS in Atlanta, Ga.

MIIKE · 05/07/2009, 11:32 AM

My family and I will be taking a little vacation up to Atlanta in a few weeks, and I would like to find out if there are any good LFS up there and where? We will be staying about a mile east of Hartsfield-Jackson airport if that helps any.

Miike,

Check out the ATL Reef Club site and sponsor map:

The stores we used to go to have closed but I have hear good things about Marine & Tropical Fish (north of town) and Einstein Aquatics (east of town)

I go to Einstein Aquatics all the time and highly recommend them. Chris runs the store and has great prices along with a lot of colorful livestock. I've been to Marine & Tropical Fish a few times and have not had good experiences. The sell mainly drap colored coral pieces and really bland stuff like yellow polyp rocks and GSP. I've bought a couple of anthias from Marine Fish that died the next day too, they had some sort of flesh eating baterial disease. They had a lot of dead fish in their tanks when I was there (I guess that should have been a sign for me not to get anything). I'd recommend you go to Einstein's, but its going to be probably a 30 minute drive from the airport.

Oh, and don't be alarmed if you look at google maps and it say Einstein's is in a residentail neighborhood. Its around back at the listed address on the web site.

Einstein Aquatics and Keen Reef are great stores that are just to the east of the city very close to I-285. These stores are about 2-3 miles apart.

Go to them. You'll be glad you did.

I don't know about LFS, but while you are there, make sure you go to their aquarium. I hear it is one of the best. We plan to go this summer some time.
