Best LFS in/around Manhattan?

[JonF]

Hi - i have been looking around the site for some time and cant find a thread or section where different LFS are ranked. Want to do a road trip this weekend to stock up and trying to find best 3-5 stores to visit. Have been to Manhattan Aquariums which is good and I love Absolutely Fish ... House of Fins is awesome too ... which others are the best, or if you could direct me to a thread on this i would appreciate it. Thanks!!

Coral Theory down in Williamsburg (nice selection, good prices. staff will answer questions and are friendly, but you have to walk to them, they don't come to you)
Manhattan Aquarium in mid town (a little pricier but worth it)
and
aquarium tropical fish (never been to this one but ive heard only good things)

Pacific Aquarium on the Lower East Side (Delancey St.). Mostly freshwater but also has some decent SW selection.

Pop corals in bensonhurst brooklyn, have a great selection prices are reasonable. They get about two shipments a week so theyre aways stocked

Bronx, Reef shoppe hands down

LI, aquarium village is great, Total Aquarium not the biggest selection but the cleanest tanks and livestock i'v seen anywhere.

Queens, there has to be better options than fishtown. Not sure if it's the worst, maybe a close second to LI's franklin pet center.

3 to 5 aquatics, in Long Island has the best prices hands down

True, Harry at 3to5 is a cool guy, a hobbyist first, and usually has some interesting stuff.

Totally agree on the Reef Shoppe.

Guess I'll have to take a trip out to the Island some time also. It's a trek from CT tho!!
