IMO its great lol its a pet shop so they have other animal supplies but their displays are so amazing ( small but amazing) They also carry ORA frags in another room. Link to comment
s0nginmyheart Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I've been to Pacific Reef in Torrance several times (they have other locations in Fountain Valley and Anaheim). That place is probably the best, cleanest, most informative store I've been to. However, I felt a little pressured in my purchases. I've also been to Circle Pet -- sorry but the snakes scare me LOL. It's kinda small but they have nice selection. There is also South Bay Aquarium in Gardena, which I like going to. The shop is a little aged but the prices there are little bit more reasonable.

Phixion Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Whoa, I've seen Ciricle Pets before and wondered about that place... I love driving in circles around Traffic Circle... Link to comment
fraggle rockette Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i just noticed a fish supply place on lincoln between santa monica (ocean park) and venice the other day... does anyone know if it's any good? haven't checked it out yet... Link to comment
s0nginmyheart Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 sounds like it was Allan's Aquarium... haven't been there yet as I try and avoid the hellish traffic down Lincoln... but... There is also Aquarium & Pet Center, off Wilshire and 8th in Santa Monica... which I've been to. The place is cool but a little overpriced IMO (ie $10 for A hermit crab... as in ONE) Link to comment
Cesar Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I drove by a fish place located around Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and Crenshaw. If someone goes can you mention it here if you don't get shot, lol. That place is ghetto. Link to comment

fraggle rockette Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i've gotten mushrooms from them and it wiped out all my mushroom colonies- just clear out of nowhere. couldn't find another reason- fine for months and then- a day later after acclimating the new one, wham. i also had zoanthid problems after buying a small frag from them (pox and nudis- tho the nudis may have been from a swap piece- not sure- i'm retarded and didn't fw dip either), and had algae appear out of nowhere after adding frags from them. +1 on fraggle reef! his fish are the only ones that seem to stay alive in my tank- i did lose my propeller palys a week after (was really sad- dunno what happened- they just got crusty and died ) and my clams after a few months as well- maybe my tank is too new for clams? idk. i didn't think so, but... i think one of them got sick and gave it to the other b/c i left it in for the hermits to eat not thinking it could be contagious. but everything else i've gotten from m has been the best and i love it. prolly wont shop anywhere else actually... well, maybe mvite once i'm rollin... lol.

Phixion Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 any of scnrs ready to start their own store yet? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/for/408127532.html You got $50k right Veronica? I'll put in the other $8k... personally i'm not a fan. every coral i've bought there has only contributed problems to my tank. ugh. Ehh I've never had any issues with their CORL. My first thing from them was a 5-head neon green candycane, and it's not at 8 heads and splitting 2 more!!1 Many of my zoas are from there, again no issues. The blue colony I used to have was also from there was were many of my old rics. In fact my L/R from my AP12 was from PTF as well. One piece was given to Mike at PR, and the rest is currently dried dead rock at the apartment. Link to comment
Phixion Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Oh yes, I was at PTF yesterday and apparently according to the writing on a tank there and also confirmed by Steve, they had a blue ring octo in stock recently!! He said most people that liked were WAY hesitant to get it, can you blame them?? Link to comment
roxy25 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Came from reefermadness and aquatic outlet yesterday. reefermadness is great place to get nice sps ! I bought some cloves lol. Aquatic outlet has 6-7 display tanks with softies. the whole store is really nice all of the holding tanks looks expensive. Their fish look healthy ( did not see dead fish ) not really any coral for sale, just fish. I wanted to get frags of these cloves in the display tanks but ( they are not forsale) prices where expensive also blue tang 69.99 Link to comment

He said most people that liked were WAY hesitant to get it, can you blame them?? Funny you should mention that... Steve and I had a few words on that very subject. Mine being along the lines of ARE YOU %)(*#%Q&)(&* SERIOUS?!?!?! I actually think I scared Natalie! He just shrugged and said that some people liked them and wanted to try them so he bought it. He warned them about it but they didn't care. We both agreed that they were idiots. Next time you are in there get him to tell you about the crazy shark lady. Its a story to make you laugh and cry.
