I totally agree with Tiffany. You need to check out Saltwater Paradise in Irving, he has one the best selection of corals around DFW. And I do not know of anyone around here that has a better selection of SPS. I know I have bought some beautiful corals there. You can check out Planet Pet in Bedford they usually have a pretty good selection. And since you are out in Arlington check out Fish Paradise in Fort Worth on Altamesa Blvd. They have a lot of soft corals and a few LPS and were trying to add to their SPS inventory. I don't know if they have their new tanks up and running yet.

yeah i used to buy everything at fish paradise in fort worth, the guy i always talked to quit so im not going back there.

I had a chance to go to Saltwater Paradise in Irving. Even though he said he didnt have near as many corals and fish as usual, i was impressed.

Thanks for the info!!!!!

I think you've got a great store, Scott, but here's one thing that really bugs the poo poo out of me...

You don't mark the prices on anything, even fish.

As a customer, that makes me feel like, "well, the price depends on how much I like you or how much you seem willing to spend."

After visiting your store many times, I've found your prices to actually be very consistent. But the first couple times I was in there, I was really put off by the lack of pricing.

I do, however, recommend your store to all my reefing friends here in DFW, some of whom I know have given you some very good business. So take it as constructive criticism. You still have the best LFS in town.

I was at SWP today and they just had an incredible selection of corlas. Especially the SPS. I could have stayed for hours.

Great stuff, Scott!

I was there today when he was unpacking some boxes of corals. Which really sucked because I spent my beer money for the whole month:( ,plus a little more. But I guess I need to loose some weight anyways. I really got two nice pieces, both were just too special to pass on. One of them is kind of a cream color with lavender polyps. They were so nice that my wife did not even get sticker shock.:D Thanks Scott for the good price. As soon as I some good pictures I am going to post them on the board.
