dogum99 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I am going to colorado in december and was wondering if anyone knew any LFS in the area that might be a good place to stop by before returning home. Also what i might need to transport some corals back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJGreene Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Don't know about any LFS in CO. You may try an internet search for "Pet Store" and whatever Metro area you're going to be near. That may turn something up. Also, if you have a GPS, try searching that for fish stores. I have had good luck with that when on vacation. Another option would be to look at one of the larger hobby boards (i.e. Reef Central) to see if any local CO clubs have a sub-forum. You could post there to see if any suggestions are given. As for how to transport it back, you may check with Jokergirl, if she doesn't chime in here. I know she brought back some livestock from a trip to HI last year. She might have some good tips on how to pack it to get it on the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Central is a no go for me their crap is all jacked up all i can do is view the forums i don't have permission to do anything else, tried emailing them a few times and they never got back with me or fixed it. I tried about 4 new accounts to no avail :/ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalare102079 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Can also try looking in the back of some popular reef/marine/fish related magazines.. heck just hit a standard pet store that has them on the shelf and browse the back for vendors or retailer's advertisements.

Here's a response: Aquamart (Formerly Premier Reef) - Hampden (285) and Wadsworth (GREAT STORE!)Neptune's Tropicals - University & County Line Key's Island - Oxford & Santa Fe (Good frags, hit or miss fish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwenvet Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Flying back tomorrow and I am just packing it in my checked baggage The luggage area isn't heated and gets REALLY cold! I would try to carry it on if you can get it thru security! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogum99 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Any luck? things settled in nicely?? They are doing great so far. I had packed them in between my clothes and I bought some hand warmers to keep them warm. I ended up getting 4 frags. A purple mushroom w/ a baby mushroom, a really big piece of sunset monti (1x2"), 3 polyp black sun coral, and some green coral the wife liked don't remember the name of it. 45$ for all 4.
