Just visited Aquatic Central on Ocean Ave in SF and I learned that the new owner, Chris is adding more saltwater stuff. He seems like he cares about the hobby and expressed that he will not be gouging the prices. Got a great deal on a brain. He said he'll be adding 64 more tanks downstairs for saltwater. I thought I'd spread the word because SF is in desperate need of some high end coral.

I went by today and could have sworn I saw 2-3 peppermint shrimps. I would call just in case.
He is just setting stuff up. He should be adding a bunch of tanks and yes, he did mention he had a downstairs. Chris mentioned it was mainly used for storage. It should fit a lot of tanks and coral. If you're far from the area, I probably would wait until more stuff is set up. Right now he just has one tank with some mixed LPS and softies. He has some inverts and fish. I expect it to have a lot of stuff once he gets the tanks up and everything stocked.
I'm pretty hopeful it becomes THE saltwater shop in SF since there aren't a lot of options.

hey hey. just thought i'd finally become a member; anyways, been browsing here since forever. so yeah, as for an update on Aquatic Central: the downstairs had 64 tanks up and running, however, I felt that the filtration was inadequate so I shut it down for now. I'm thinking to just add a mega skimmer, ozone/controller unit and some extra plumbing for more flow (not to mention CLEAN UP, have you seen it down there :eek2: ) i've ordered my slat wall, displays, equip., and am slowly building my dry good inventory. now i just need feedback on what i should be carrying and more customers so i can fund this puppy :rollface:

i can't wait to see the new setup! I live in westlake and I usually go to Aquatic central for all of my needs because they are closer than any other store. I have bought some great fish and coral form that store, and I hope to continue. Are you going to have a grand Reopening party?
You should throw a shin dig for all of us local reefkeeper. I know I would be there

i can't wait to see the new setup! I live in westlake in Daly City and I always go to Aquatic central for all of my needs because they are closer than any other store (and have good prices).

good point; there better be a party!!! anyway, i think there will be more of a rapid, incremental change there, rather than a grand opening. maybe in a month or two though we'll just arbitrarily pick a day and call it the grand opening, and party down like only some reefers know how to do :smokin:
