    Where do you shop at? I have read TONS of reviews from several store and all of them come out about the same about 50/50 on the reviews. Looking to visit a couple diffrent stores and pick up a few small things. Then making future purchases there when my tank is up and running. Just looking for inside info from people in the area. Thanks!

    Dego !!

    Try Aquatic Warehouse off of Caliremont Mesa Blvd. & the 805. They got everything (pumps, fish, critters, pipe fittings, parts, tanks, etc.)!! They used to have the best corals but not lately. Guess they can't compete with the online market. Theres Fountains Aq. on University & Pet Kingdom on Rosecrans, but you'll find that they don't even come near. Anyway, ask for Brian. He'll take care of you. Where abouts you live kd?8)

    I live in Yuma, and SD is the closest store to us. We are getting ready to set up our 240gal and looking for a reputable place with quality merch and good customer service. Since the place we pick will make a small fortune off of us :) Our choice is to either drive 2 hours, or roll the dice on ordering from the internet.

    Well, some of us here are going for a Group Buy from Bulk Reef Supply if that helps. Google it.....great store.

    I drive between Imperial Valley & San Diego 3 or 4 x month. My home is in San Diego, but I have business in Imperial Valley. I always make a stop at Aquatic Warehouse. In the long run, I save lots of time because its a one-stop-shop.....everything!! Friendly help, no snobs or "too cool" punks either.
