Coral shops in Charlotte

Look up The Inland Reef, hands down best shop in town but his inventory moves QUICK! He gets his stuff in during the week and often times people paypal him money immediately to hold stuff. Its a real hobbyist shop.

Nemos reef off exit 51 in Mathews isn't bad but his inventory goes fast as well

+1 for nemo's if they are out, you can try fintastics but the prices are higher

Nemo's in the bomb. Large selection and great prices and people. Fintastic i s pretty and nice to look at, but that's about it. Their prices are very unrealistic.

sarcasm yeah.. lol... they are just a few minutes from my house... i do some window shopping there but not alot of buying

Fintastic is high on some things but fairly reasonable on others. I got my 3.5" Male Labouts there for $100 That's quite a bit better than the $200 they want on live aquaria Its just like everywhere u just have to know a little b4 u make a purchase.

I made the mistake of buying $60 worth of prodibio nano because the shop owner told me that he spoke with the rep and was told that it would be plenty for my 60 cube with 20g sump.... Needless to say when I called them they said that it was only rated for up to a 15gal tank. I will not be returning to that store. and it has been named up here already....

NEMO'S REEF 2113 Matthews Township Parkway, Matthews

I bought my red sea 650 setup from them. Honestly they sold me that setup for 4800. I've seen seen them going for way more than that online so I can't really say anything bad about them. That was the store I did see a crosshatch trigger in... Beautiful but like 700 which I mean I never see anything like that because normal stores can't stand the overhead. Cool place to at least check out, let me know about the gift card

Charlotte reef stores

Thanks for the heads up everyone, I hopefully I will have time to check out at least one!

If you only have a chance to go to one either Nemos or Inland is the 2 best to go to. You can check them both out on facebook.

Inland reef is nice but very very small.

I have some sps. I live 10 minutes from Nemos and Inland reef. What kind of sps you looking for?

Inland Reef has been having some nice Zoas lately.

I was just at Inland this afternoon. There are a few very nice SPS frags at a good price; at times they have a better selection. Like previously mentioned, nice zoos, and a few LPS also.

Inland Reef and Nemos for sure. Fintastic if you like getting ripped off for poor quality fish.
