Best Syracuse LFS

fbskiracer · 06/15/2017, 08:25 AM

I checked some of the older forums and it looks like things have changed.

I'm trying to figure out with LFS to use in Syracuse. We move back in August but I'm going to start touching base with them now to help with design/planning a built in tank for the house we are building.

I think the options are ABC Reefs 1/2 in the North & west side and then Fish Fanatics in E Syracuse. Fish Fanatics is definitely closer, but I think ABC has a better longer term reputation (from what I gather).

Anyone have any updated thoughts on the situation in the area?

For that kind of thing I would go to ABC 1.

If you need everything. Tank. Equipment. Then livestock. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't call Tim at ABC.

Pm me if you want his #.

I would not just cold call the store. Speak directly to Tim.

I live in Rochester and I also say ABC. Every time I go, I have to stop in.

Cully is right. Deal directly with Tim. I purchased my tank and all equipment thru Tim at better prices then I could get online. He definitely takes care of you and won't steer you wrong. He now gets all of my business for that very reason. Even ordered my Red Sea Reefer setup for me.

OK, sounds like ABC it is.

I'm still in the very early stages of this. I'm a year from the install but I need to get an idea for the architect now.

Cully Can you PM me Tim's #? I need another few posts before I can send PMs and I'm trying not to spam.
