★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Great selection of coral and fish with great pricing, especially the size of the place being considered. These guys really know their stuff and don’t mind sharing knowledge
July 22 · JeremyBeen coming here since I started reefing. They carry a lot of everything and are very knowledgeable. Always a pleasure to stop by and enjoy the new arrivals. Jason and Jose are always available to answer any questions through phone or text. 100% recommend
June 23 · Richard MontesBest place to shop live salt water fishes with very enriched stocks and fairly cheapest prices I have ever seen in a LFS.We drove 6.5h from San Francisco to LA to visit and pick up our orders. Their stocks have very high turn over rate, so better call the owners to place an order and reserve the items you are interested in :)
May 01 · Chen WangGreat service, everything you need to keep your saltwater aquarium running great! Livestock selection is the best around.
August 28 · Carlo Ci purchased a blue/ green chromis from this fish store about a year and a half ago and my aquarium still hasn’t recovered from it. when i put the single fish into my tank, after about a week i noticed white spots in all my fish (ich; the worst case scenario) . i soon quarantined them all with copper and they all died. when i brought this issue up to other fish stores they pointed out that this fish store had a reputation for selling infected/ unchecked & un quarantined fish. if you want to have a successful reef tank avoid this shop at all costs. if i could give 0 stars i would this store has ruined the hobby as a whole for me.
