Salt water stores in Savannah or Brunswick Georgia and Jacksonville Florida?

Need some advice on any great salt water stores in Savannah, Brunswick and Jacksonville, Florida area. Where should I go?

Any places in Orlando? I've already seen Mickey and company. No need to stop there.

Let me know how you experienced any salt water stores in these areas. What salt water place should be at the top of the list? Any restraurants that must be visited?

In savannah there is a store, but if you think prices in atl are high... This guy holds the monopoly in that area and completely takes advantage of it... That being said it still may be worth stopping by.

What is the name of the store? If I have a few moments, I'll stop in. I've been in stores like that and I say to myself "Whom made up these prices?". I'll still look and if I see something I like, I take note and I will buy it somewhere else if I feel the price is "threw the roof!"

I have family in Savannah. I'll try to get the name and address of the store for you this afternoon.

I used to live in Savannah. The only store that is there is 'Exotic Underworlds'. http://www.exoticunderworlds.com/. They are the reason I decided to buy everything from online stores.

I live in Savannah. Exotic underworld is somewhat of a dump in my opinion. The only reason they still operate is that they are the only marine store within hours. It is definately not worth stopping by. I hate to be that direct, but it is true.

Bio reef in Jacksonville is AMAZING!!! I highly suggest them.

Two thumbs up for Clay4AU. I was in Jacksonville and I stopped at BIO REEF twice while on my trip. The staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgable on reef aquariums. The stop at BIO REEF made the trip very special. Thanks again Clay4AU.

Dr. Fish:

BIO REEF is AMAZING!!! as you have pointed out when you and Clay4AU pointed out in this message post. Thank you for sharing your experience while in Jacksonville, FL. If you enjoy all types of coral, BIO REEF should be at the top of your list. You will not be disappointed.

As Dr. Fish stated in the post above "Bio reef in Jacksonville is AMAZING!!! I highly suggest them."

+1.) I two; highly recommend if you are in the Jacksonville area; stop by and check BIO REEF. Your visit maybe as special as my visit to Jacksonville. Enjoy!!!
