saltwater shops in Baltimore?

[sigel7]

Going to be in Baltimore Tuesday and Wednesday. Is there any good saltwater shops to visit while there?

I haven't been in a while, as it is a but further north, but CTE Aquatics is usually pretty good.

 

House of tropicals probably has the largest variety of fish in the whole DMV area, but quality can be hit or miss. Corals aren't that great.

I wouldn’t buy fish at HOT. Equipment is fairly priced.

I prefer Congressional Aquarium in Rockville. Not close to Baltimore

Fintastic in Frederick is hands down my favorite shop. Though it's a bit far from Baltimore. Pacific East Aquaculture is about a 2 hour trip from B-more, haven't been there but always heard good things about it.

I really wanted to like House of Tropics because I used to live around the corner before I got into reef keeping. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment to me. They do have a vast selection but I feel that quantity comes at quality as I saw a lot of sick/dead fish.
