Good coral stores in/around these cities?

[civicsit]

I'm currently on a road trip with my gf looking at 6 grad schools around the country. I was wondering if there are any coral stores around these cities and within reasonable distance (~80 mi).

Southern Illinois University -- Carbondale, IL
Penn State University -- State College, PA
University of Florida -- Gainesville, FL
Texas A&M -- College Station, TX

thanks!

If you can make it from TAMU to Houston (a little more than 80 miles, ~90-100), there are a couple of good stores to check out. Aquarium World would be the closest, which is a huge store and has an enormous display (~40000 gallons, fish only though). Prices are steep and it has a better fish selection than coral, but worth dropping in. Some a little more into town include Fish Gallery (havent been to their new location yet, but story goes that it's great) and City Pets (somewhat of a local favorite, but I live too far to get to it often enough), which have pretty good selection.

I lived in College Station for a while, and the only store that sold coral has since closed down. I dont think anyone else has openned up since then.

at UF there is a store down archer road going towars I 75. but a way better store is 40miles south in ocala. take 441 south toward ocala. Once you hit SR 40, make a left, go down 5 miles until u get to 36th ave and take a right. make an immediate left onto NE 8th Place. the store will be on your right in the ocala square plaza. the store is called tanks a lot
