I've heard some mention of a LFS at 23 and Van ****? Anyone have any info and/or experience with this store? Is is worth a 20 minute drive to check out?

Thanks

Kee's Aquarium, it is on the SE corner. It is worth a 20 minute drive. Their selection isn't huge but they usually have nice healthy fish and corals. Also they people that work there are very helpful and friendly.

If you ask me its not worth the drive I live 5 mins away and I won't step foot in that store

Any reason why? I was thinking of going.

Same here . I had a bad experience with them . Plus they are the most expensive LFS around , and they dont have SPS .

OK Thanks!

They are comparable, and if you are a card member it curves the price a bit. If you catch them on the right days they have some good stuff. There are just a lot of regualr that get in there early. They are very helpful especially Jason. If your going to talk to anyone it is him, he'lll work with you.

i go there most of the time. their prices are far from the worst around. I wouldn't call $7 for a 1 1/2 bulkhead and $44 for a SCWD expensive. Heck the only other two stores around are aquatic discoveries and oceans and seas. We know the prices at these two stores. This store I would say is in the middle of the two on average.

they are very nice and helpful. It is family owned and operated since i can remember. Yes they don't have a large selection of livestock at all but will special order things for you.

If your looking for something special just call ahead. If your just looking to visit and see what they have in the way of livestock then youll probably be disappointed.

Just curious what bad experiences what you guys had there and what you guys would change about the place?

I am sorry I remembered your post but wasn't sure if it was open yet.

Sorry. I know I will definetly be checking you out. I am in Romeo so your a little closer than Aquatic and a little farther than Kees so sounds good to have another store.

We have been going to Kee's for about 10 years now. Not only are they a very nice family, they are also knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to talk to you about your problems, or what you want to do with your tank, and come up with solutions. Not all the staff specialize in salt water. But those who do know what they are doing. They care about their customers, and about the animals they sell. If the prices are a little higher, and maybe they don't always have a lot of stock (sps) (on order day it looks like alot to me, the stuff sells fast)it's still worth the trip. They will always do what they can to get you what you need/want and they'll do it with a smile!! Unlike other lfs that will barely give you the time of day. Kee's has definately earned our loyalty!

just my 2 cents

I concur... somethings are priced a little higher at Kees than other LFS, and some things are priced a little lower. The biggest advantage to Kee's is that they make everyone feel like they are part of the family and the entire family is very nice/personable and more than willing to "go the extra mile" with regard to service. I've been going there for ~16 years (I miss their old Rochester location) and they are still one of my favs. Be educated on what prices are for things locally and you won't have to worry about overpaying.
