In Atlanta until Thursday - GA Aquarium? Rits? What else?

[landonl]

I am in Atlanta until Thursday, mostly in the Snellville/Stone Mountain area. While I am here I definitely plan on going over to Rits sometime, probably Thursday on the way out of town.

Also contemplating going back to the GA Aquarium again. I haven't been there in a few years. Being a Biology graduate student, I need my marine biology fix. I really want to dive the aquarium, but being a graduate student, I am a bit poor these days.

Anyone have any other ideas of where I should go? Any good stores on the east side of Atlanta worth going to that I don't know about?

There's Nemo aquarium on hwy 78 and Nemo fish store on Indian trail/Killian hill (brothers hence the similar name). I'm sure ther is another in Snellville but check out the sponsor's map to be sure.

Could be fun to check out some of the members tanks here in ATL too.

Yeah we have Nemo's which is the closest to our area. The Avariam (sp) is about 15 mins away. The other Nemos and atlanta reef is not to far either

You may want to wait to see the ga aquarium after the dolphin exhibit opens.

Went by the Nemo on Killian hill today. He has more stuff coming in Thursday, so I might stop back in on the way out of town. Definitely going to call Einstien while I am here, and/or probably go by Rit's on the way out.

Like I said, I am only here until Thursday, so not much waiting after that. I am more interested in seeing the reef tank progression since I was last there a few years ago. The dolphin exhibit sounds nice, but I have seen dolphins enough.

Went by Nemo #2 today, on the Stone Mountain Highway. They have a nice Marshall Islands Helfrichi Firefish there, but it is a little higher priced than elsewhere, otherwise I would have been sold on the spot.

Called Einsteins, hoping to get by there before I leave tomorrow.

I would pm Dave/ Acroholic and see if you could get a tour . His tanks are amazing.

Hit Pure Reef too before you head out, its a cool place to visit

I may have to try this. Don't know if I will be able to do it this trip, but I will see.

Anyone got a monster tank to show off here?

I went by Einstein tonight and picked up two corals. Also picked up some from beccamc10 and Superclown. Really happy with everything so far. I think I will try and make it by Rit's, Pure Reef, and Aquarium Warehouse next time I am in Atlanta.
