| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | LFS in Greenville, SC Hello gang! I'll be traveling to Greenville, SC later this week on business and need some insight into some good places to go shopping for REEF goodies in Greenville. I am staying at Crowne Plaza off of Congaree Rd. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!! Sincerely, Allen ![]()

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

| Totally back ![]() | Re: LFS in Greenville, SC Right down the street is Ocean's Floor. Just go down Congaree towards the mall and you will see it on the left.They don't carry much afa as dry goods, but typically have a good selection of fish and corals. I don't know anyone else in the area that would be worth going to. There is a Petland pretty close to there that carries marine/reef livestock, but I am not impressed with the health or selection of their livestock.

| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | Re: LFS in Greenville, SC Awesome! Thanks for the info!! I'll check them out and see what they have to offer. I'm sort of "full" at the moment unless I run up on that "can't live without" specimen but it never hurts to window shop just in case ![]() Again thanks for the info. Allen ![]()

| Totally back ![]() | Re: LFS in Greenville, SC you are probably driving straight down 26, but if you have extra time on your drive back, you can detour to Shelby and visit FinsReef and marvel at some really expensive equipment.

| Totally back ![]() | Re: LFS in Greenville, SC If you find yourself close to Columbia, SC stop by Fins in Irmo. It's close to the lake in West Columbia. Another small shop with great livestock. Edit: and lots of good food nearby this place too.
