Alexandria:

 

Wally's at 6493 little river turnpike (sometimes decent)

 

Super Petz just about a mile away (usually terrible, but good for live brine shrimp and freshwater fish and good tank prices. big LFS, you should see it at least once)

Drive west on little river from Wally's until you get to the intersection of little river turnpike and john marr rd. Super Petz is there.

BRK is probably as far from Alexandria as it is from Columbia. :)

 

Not sure there is much out there. You might be better off asking if there is somewhere in DC worth visiting.

He's going to be in Alexandria - BRK is nowhere near there (about a 40 min drive).

I lived in Arlington and now live in DC - Wally's is OK but very overpriced - fish tend to be $5-$20 more than I see at Scales or BRK. Dry goods are also overpriced. Tanks are the only exception, they tend to be reasonable. I go there in emergencies when trekking to Scales isn't an option.

Unfortunately on the VA side, the only stores really worth going to are BRK (not open on Tuesdays), Fins & Feathers, and Marine Scene is also supposed to be good. None of those are anywhere near Alexandria.

Send Dan (Dandy7200) a PM and see if you can stop by - he'll have the coolest toys in Alexandria to look at :lol2:

If you do go to Rozens, please report back. They are a unique operation

Thanks

lol, indeed, i haven't gone there since i was about 11 years old... haha

 

You won't find a better selection anywhere in MD, VA, or DC.

 

I've had as good or better better retention with Roozen's fish and corals than any other LFS also.
