Bay Area LFS List! :D

Well while on Oakland and Walnut Creek, definatly check out the east bay stores. Tropical Paradise in San leandro, Aquascene & Aquarium Concepts in Hayward. If you want to head a bit south, check out Atlantis i Fremont and Aquatic Gallery in Milpitas. You can get the adresses from any online yellow pages.

Theres some in SF too, but I dont know them.
 
Octopus's Garden in Berkeley (northern Border of Oakland) often has interesting inverts...and sometimes interesting fish. For cheap dry goods, I think Aquarium Concepts in Hayward is about the cheapest, but doesn't compare to ordering online.
 
Looks like the Fish Tank in Sunnyvale is under new ownership (I pick up Oceanic there due to it being close to my house). Talked briefly with the new owner, and looks like they are going to make it a reef centric establishment. I will keep the thread posted on its transformation :-)

I hope the new owner can make The Fish Tank a nice shop. That store is very close to where I live.
 
I'm compilling all the LFS info contained in this thread (all info has been taken out, list just needs to be editted for stores no longer in biz, or new locations) and it will soon be put up on BAR's website. I'll post a copy here as well, and have it locked/sticky'd.

If you know stores websites, please post em here.

I'm getting tired of seeing all the hate you're dishing out.
I'll be reporting this thread to the mods too. I'm requesting that they ban you from our forum and I think MARS is getting sick of your hate too. I wonder if Joe (who really is a fine person btw) understands all the damage you're doing to UWW with your hate filled posts? That's rhetorical, PLEASE DO NOT REPLY!!!!!

i've only been there once & their prices seemed outrageous. their selection seems pretty large, though. but if anyone's ever on the peninsula you can check it out.
 
Just wondering if anyone knows which of the 3 lfs listed in Oakland is worth visiting.
