Greetings Everyone!
New to the area and would like some advise from you all as to the best retailer in the Atlanta area for reef aquarium supplies and healthy livestock. I would really like to find one store that I stick with, and where I can build a good relationship with the employees. Any thoughts??
Thanks,
Stephen

There are actually a number of good stores in this area; no need to be limited to just one.

Andy: We're up in Adairsville but don't mind driving for healthy livestock and a knowledgeable staff. Thanks for the recommendation!

I agree with Kappa.
There are alot of quality Fish stores in the area.
Marine Fish and Cappucino Bay in Marietta are probably the top two.
Imagine Ocean in Canton is another good place.
Check out the Sponsors Forum for other different sponsors and what their discounts are, depending on what you are looking for, ie, lighting, equipment, livestock, etc.
Welcome!
There are plenty of places on your side of the town too. People say good things about Poseidon reef, Nemo Tropical Fish. I haven't been to either, yet. I recommend the above mentioned stores, I have been dealing with them for years.

wooo hooo Adairsville!!! Not many reef folks up in these parts!! :)
Welcome to the ARC site Stephen.
Stay away from Cartersville when it comes to LFS's. I like Imagine Ocean, and CapBay. You gotta drive, but when ya live out in the middle of no where, you just get used to that.

The few times I've been, I wasn't impressed. I've only seen a few fish there- no rock or corals.
