New World Aquarium is on 38th between 2nd and 3rd. It is a saltwater fish store that usually has nice stuff, expensive though.

The best marine store in manhattan is Manhattan Reefs. It can be found here: www.manhattanreefs.com

If you take the Q from 57th down to coney island there is the New York Public Aquarium

Ratings page is here but I think the overall ratings per each store show 5 stars on the homepage only.

Believe it or not, Petco in Union Square has a decent Saltwater Selection. Prices are about the same as New World, but at least it's an alternative. I found references to 3-4 other aquariums in Manhattan, but they seem to have gone out of business. I did check out one downtown: Pacific Aquarium, 46 Delancey near Mott. Its got a decent selection, but a bit unorganized (more so than most).
