Well I took a ride to SeaCritters and I have to say it was worth the trip. Bruce does not ship, as of yet (he's waiting on oxygen tanks, etc) but he is packing some corals (zoa's, plate coral, buttons) up for me to take on my 10 hour ride home. To answer your question ER, the LFS quality in the NY/NJ area is pretty good. The biggest difference I would have to say is the amount of selection (the smallest store is still about 5 times the size of SeaCritters) and a lot of stores in NJ are getting in aquacultured and tank raised corals to help reduce the costs to the customer. The price on the corals and fish are about the same in NJ so I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Overall, SeaCritters seems like a place I would frequent if I lived in the area....but....I don't know how you guys do it with the hours....my LFS of choice is open 9 - 9 Mon to Sat and 10 - 6 on Sun and I don't think that's enough!!!
