Area LFSs-worth visiting...


I am from the Twin Cities, working in Eau Claire most weekdays for the next 3 weeks. Is there anywhere I NEED to go, or avoid (too late-I can't avoid TW) Transporting critters back home might not be practical but I enjoy looking and talking fish/reefs so...awhile back folks were talking about Greg S?
Thanks!
TG

I have found it very difficult to get consistently high-quality fish, inverts, and dry goods here in Eau Claire. Peggy at All-Reef just north of Hudson is the place where I exclusively go to buy my stuff now. Her prices are a bit on the high side if you compare to internet prices, but you don't have to pay shipping and she carries by far the highest quality livestock I've ever seen in a LFS. Plus, she's always available to talk with you about any questions/concerns you have, and she'll go out of her way to make you happy. For instance, I talked with her about specially ordering some female flasher wrasses for me a while ago, and the other day she put in an order for a metal halide bulb I want to purchase from her. Anyone who hasn't been there is missing out on some of the best quality goods/care in the business. It's well worth the hour drive from Eau Claire, as far as I'm concerned.

One thing on All Reef, I believe Peggy is only open on Sat and Sun. But Check the website for sure.

David,

Thanks for throwing that in there. Yep, she is only open weekends. I think 12-6 on Saturday and 12-4 on Sunday. Highly worth a weekend road trip.
