I am fairly new to this forum, but have been in the hobby on and off since a child. I recently got back into it a year ago with a planted aquarium. I love this forum, always so much information! Well any way...

I live out in the Brandon area and do most of my shopping at the PetsMart on 60. Plants are basic ones, but they are clean and kept up. The fish tanks are also clean never had a problem with fish I bought there.

Aquarium Creations has some nice fish, but seems to lack in the plants department. They do not have much equipment stocked and seem to cater to saltwater more.

There is a new place, can't remember the name, down on Bloomingdale Blvd (in the BigLots plaza). The gentleman is very knowledgeable and gave me 10 ghost shrimp for free (I only wanted a few as cleaners).

I have been to Fish World once and when I saw the BGA (cyanobacteria bacteria) in about 5-6 of their tanks, I left.

I LOVE Marine Warehouse, but with the price of gas I rarely get over there (sometimes I wish I did not buy that Silverado!). If I ever have to goto Tampa for something else, I always work in a stop at Marine Warehouse.

In the next few weeks I am going to try and get over to the new Pet Mart on 56th and Busch!
