Tropical Showcase is on Old Country Road in Hicksville; it is approx. 1 mile east of the Wantagh Pkwy and approx. 2 miles west of Newbridge Rd (rt 106). It is on the north side of the street across from a school.

Thanks. I am heading there tomorrow.

They are ok. Very cheap cured LR, if I remember correctly.

I have lived in Lynbrook for 10 years, have driven by there 100 times and never knew they existed until a few weeks ago. They seem to have a nice selection.

I was their yesterday, wasn't worth the trip. They had a descent selection of fish. Not much in the way of dry goods. I asked a worker for "frag glue" and he handed me aquarium sealant:ANYWORD:

Thanks. I am heading there tomorrow.

Did you end up going out their JP?

 

[Josh]

Can someone please summarize the additions and deletions to the LFS Database here on the site and I will make the necessary changes? Please PM me the details.

Also, if anyone has storefront details that would be great as well.

Yes I have. The fishes are ok but they have no corals whatsoever.

I know this is the LI forum, but I recently went to "H20" on Queens BLVD.. They had a good selection of fish and a suprisingly great selection of corals, SPS, LPS. They had a couple of clams, but they were $200.00 and up.

Ouch

 

[NRA223]

Ouch

Yep, especially when "SeaVisions" had the same type and size for $45.00:pissed:

There is small store in Wantagh called Aquarium Dreams on Merrick Rd, just west of Wantagh Pkwy. Quality isn't bad, worth checking out if you are close by.

don't buy fish at suffolk reef, they run a slight amount of copper through their system, so if you buy a fish, it may die after a few months, trust me, copper is no joke when it come to fish's insides!

Most LFS run copper or medication in their Fish only tanks. It doesn't effect the fish unless the levels are very high and then they will probably die at the store from it anyway. Once you get it home, and place it in your tank, it should be fine. just looks for burns on the fish from the copper.

On a side note, since most places do use copper in their Fish only tanks you shouldn't place a fish directly from the bag into a tank with invets or coral. Some of the copper or medication will enter into your tank. Though you some always quarantine your fish first anyway.

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Should always ask about the copper in a system just to be safe. It doesn't harm the fish if used properly and is better for both the seller and buyer in the long run making sure they are parasite free.

Here's a good one for the list:

A Lot of Fish
262 W. Montauk Hwy
Babylon Village, NY 11702

They're ok, nice looking, clean tanks. But on the expensive side.:Yikes:

 

[lunner]
