Looking for good LFS located around Parker/Aurora area

#1
Just moved here and looking for a good LFS. I live in Parker. I am only looking to drive about 10-20 minutes max. Gotta get my saltwater fix ;)

I would contact MTS, not sure if he's still a sponsor or not, he's in Aurora. You can try neptunes, they're in highlands ranch by the target off of C-470. Keys Island and Reef n Pond are on Santa Fe. Personally I don't trust LFS fish/coral/pricing. If you goto Reef n Pond, haggle on everything, better yet just don't go. Keys is right down the street from there, Ki is a really nice guy and usually makes you a deal on stuff. If you feel like you have a good grasp at IDing all kinds of stuff, try CL. You gotta be careful though, some people try and trick you.

I would say Key's is the best and closet in your area. But when you can I would hit up Elite as they have a really nice store. Make sure to clear your calender for the Elite reef fest.

The closest retail stores to Parker are:
* Essential Pet (near Parker Rd and Cottonwood) is good to know about - in case you need dry goods in a hurry. (Other than that, the livestock can look iffy)
* Milehighaquatics.com is located in Pradera in S. Parker (you should see his setup!)
* Great Barrier Reef in Lone Tree -has a new retail manager, so should be keeping regular store hours again. Definitely worth checking out.
* Todd's
* Neptunes

I think Elite is a "little" farther than 20 minutes, but has consistently great feeback. I can't wait to get out that way!

What part of Parker are you in?
