Best LFS for buying tanks?

[reefIQ0.0]

I am in the market for a new tank and would love to view some of the major systems out there in person before making any decisions. Are there any LFS in the NYC area where I can view and purchase a new system on site?

id say just buy from the site; i work at a fish shop occasionally during classes and what not and we sell tanks, however the hassle in my opinion makes it not worth it. but take this as an anecdote

Not much in Manhattan, I would recommend going to Absolutely Fish as they have a lot on display and in stock.

Been there, great store but not much of a showroom for reef tanks and none of the Waterbox/ IM/Red Sea stuff there. They did have one complete reef setup from a brand I have not heard of that will be on sale this weekend that looked pretty nice though.
