Hello All,

I'm will be making a trip to SA this week and would like to stop by a few LFS's to check out some LPS, palys and zoas. Any suggestions on where to stop....I will be on the North side of SA in the am and on the South side latter that afternoon.

Thanks for the info,
Mike

B&B Aquatics...they always have plenty of Zoas to choose from. They make lots of frags too! Very friendly staff.

Whoa...San Antonio has some great LFS. B&B and Aquarium Designs always have great corals. Also be sure to check out Gabe's new store near Bandera/410. He always has great deals and offers MAAST discounts:

This weekend would probably be a bad weekend to go to B&B because they are moving they have almost everything tore down. But they do have a good sale going on. Aquarium Designs is a really nice store, lots of coral.

I like aquarium designs, for selection and most of all customer service. The coral selections are superior at BB, but you can walk through there for an hour without anyone asking you if you need anything. Everytime I've been there I had to go and ask for assistance and it seems that I am bothering them. That being said the tall guy seems amiable once you have his attention.

Gabes (i've only been there once) is pretty cool, small and tucked away but the deals are pretty good.

Aquatic Alamos has come around (IMO) and seem to offer a pretty decent price on their stuff although one kid tried to sell me a large aptasia for $10... although I think he was just kidding.

B & B still has quite a few corals, and they are 40% off! If you find something you like, you won't be able to beat that price.
