Two locations that I have visited in PA:

1) ThatPetPlace/ThatFishPlace in Lancaster PA is realyl a fantastic place. They have a huge store with almost everyhting you coudl ever want in terms of pet needs. They have reptiles, small pets, birds and a huge fresh and salt water fish room. I have purchased just abotu all of my coral from them along with most of my equipment. Their prices are good and their staff is very knowadagable. If you live anywhere near the Lancaster area in PA you should definitly visit this store. (www.thatfishplace.com)

2) The Frazer Zoo - This store is located in Frazer Pa. it is a small local store that sells various pets and pet needs. I first heard on other boards about them having a saltwater section in the store that spelized in coral. I also heard a lot about the guy in charge of the coral named Mike. So I visited. What I found was after goign to the store 7 times now I have never purchased anyhting because Mike never talked to me, nevermind tried to help me. On top of that their pricing is outrageous. They have nice stuff on occasion but it is always super expensive. I don't know this Mike guy and he may be a good guy but he never even acknowadges people in the store. He is typicalyl talkign to a friend or BSing with somebody in the store about coral. There have been a few times that I even wanted to make a purchase but I could nto get him to acknowadge me so I simple walked out. Jsut my 2 cents

I've been the That Pet Place several times, it's pretty neat.

theres a very good small store on eastern side of PA owned by a wife and husband who started in their garage and now opened own place. they are very helpful and have a nice selection with decent prices. they are always willing to help someone out. this is my store that i always go to.. its called Something Fishy and its website is(http://www.toofishy.com/home.php).. if your ever a round that area i would def check it out. the only bad thing is they are only open on the weekend because they have full time jobs during the week. but they keep up maintance after their other jobs on the tanks

Sweet- I had heard about them a while ago but forgot the name of the place. I have always wanted to drive up on a weekendto check them out. However now I have too much stuff in my tank so there is no need to make the drive. I will when I upgrade at some point. I will also add their web page to my aquarium board. THanks again.

There is a great place in Erie, PA also called Coral Cave and it's well worth the drive there! I used to drive from Ohio there. Great selection of healthy stuff and the owner and his wife are very knowledgable and friendly! Decent prices too! A big plus!
