    I have bought fish online. It worked out. If it's something generic it's ok. Certain fish and most all corals I need to see in person. Things like cleaner crew I think best to get online the stores are just way too expensive for a big crew.

    I've bought fish in houston and driven home with them before (8 hour drive) so you should be fine

    not to get off topic but i have a friend who lives in utica and has salt water tanks too!!!

    Would that city happen to be syracuse? If you don't find an extra hour drive you could come to rochester, we have a few really really nice reef stores.

    our LFS has to drive an hour and a half to pick up stock so I think you should be ok. I would just have a couple of coolers ready.
