Well, they vary. Here's my .02 for some common ones.

Dallas North Aquarium in Carrollton - Pretty new store, big selection, big $$$

Saltwater Paradise in Irving - New store too, very nice coral setups, big $$ usually too

Aquatic Designs in Plano - Havent' been there myself but it gets good reviews.

Planet Pet in Bedford - Mediochre selection, reasonable pricing, good prices on dry goods. They are remodeling though so they don't have a lot of displays.

You can check out some of our local boards to get more reviews of other places: www.yourreeftank.com, www.dfwmas.com (forum).

HTH. Let us know where you go! The first two are probably the best to go to while visiting.

Wow, well they had some good deals sometimes. We did go in there about a week ago and they had like half the fish supply area gone. I just thought they were remodeling.
