Best LFS Store in SF Bay Area- As of 2017?

[flamehawkfish]

hello All

It's been a while since I've been shopping for new inverts & fish, and I'm wanting to expand my options. I noticed a post listing all LFS stores in the Bay Area, but it was definitely outdated.

Can anyone recommend any good LFS in SF Bay Area? I am especially curious about anything in San Francisco, Oakland, or North Bay (b/c I live in Marin), but open to all options. Please let me know.

Sincerely,

Flamehawk

Aquatic collection in Hayward is closest to Oakland area

And I believe it to be the best selection and price for fish. But I haven't explored north bay options.

Yeah, Aquatic Collection unless you want to go to south bay to Neptunes. I haven't been to the new Diablo Corals location in Concord yet.

Living in SF, I normally get most stuff online because I find it more convenient than driving ~45 minutes each way to any store, but I'll say of all the stores I've been to (CRC, AC, Neptune, Ultimate), Aquatic Collection has by far the best selection of fish/inverts, and their corals are pretty decent as well. I've gotten a few nice SPS frags there, but it is very hit or miss.

I would say AC for fish and Neptune for corals. But, they're both great.

All About Fish in Pleasant Hill has an ok selection. It's a very old store but the guys are friendly.

Diablo has there corals set up in the new location but fish has not. So for now just corals and inverts
