Orlando Florida

[Mr. S]

I am a school teacher in Oregon who has the opportunity to go to Orlando in the near future. I have several salt water tanks in my classroom. I am looking for anyone who knows the area and can hook me up with some good LFS shops in the area. Would like to get some stuff for the school tanks that I could later use as trade bait. That is the main way I can keep my tanks affordable. School budgets are not helping!!!!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
ps. If any of you crazy Florida reefers want to donate cool stuff to me and you live near the Orlando area that would also be greatly appreciated. I think I can take a box or two on the airline since I travel light!!!!

Check out The Seven Seas shop,
Also Fishy bussiness has some nice stuff,
There are several in town, My sugestion is to find a phone book when you get here and look up some other shops to. I just got into this a couple of months ago so I have not yet been to all of them. someone told me about a place that is suppost to be unreal but it slips my mind, something like the living seas or something like that, Good luck.

I lived in Orlando for 6 years (3 years ago). I ran a 90gal reef tank.
Trust me.. Don't waste your time. There isn't really a good reef store in Orlando (or a good fish store). Fishy Business is good but they are on the other side of town (from the airport).
If you have time, I would recommend visiting Sea World Orlando. They have great aquariums (& a $50 toll thru the front door).

Tampa has some good reef stores, S. Florida also has good reef - but no Orlando stores. Sorry.

any good ones in Ft. Lauderdale?

theres a fish store in St. Cloud called "the fish wish". they only deal with fish and 50% of their store is saltwater and reef tanks , they have some really nice tanks and their prices are really reasonable too . its on 10th street in St. Cloud . if you want to P.M. me i can give you directions how to get there , its not hard.
