Best store in North Cal?

In the Bay Area i like Atlantis Aquarium, Aquatic Gallery and Aquarium Concepts. I recently heard that Aquatic gallery and Aquarium Concepts had some nice Fairy and Flasher Wrasses.
 
In the bay area...I've only been to three stores....Atlantis..this place is one of the best places to go if you are seeking rare or collector corals..an amazing display. Aquatic gallery...lots of cool stuff at very reasonable prices....and the third place we went to was Aquascene (in the reptile room)....this place pretty much sucked complared to the others...I think we spent more time looking at the snakes and lizards than at what little coral and fish they had, but we may have caught them on an off day as they had a lot more capacity in their tanks than needed for what they had available that day.
 
Thats the one I bought!! How the heck do you know?
Anyway, by the time you add the shipping this and that, not much cheaper. If anything went wrong you have to pay shipping again....shipping this, shipping that. Forget it. I am blowing money anyway hehe. Tim at Exotic told me if anything went wrong within 6 months, they will swap me a brand new one right on the spot. I love it!! Just like the Niello dealership, anything went wrong with my car just drive it right in and they give me a free loaner to drive back to work until they finish the repair.
Back to the lighting, did I buy the wrong light?
Tim said this should be fine for most coral, it comes with 2 MH and the whole 9 yards, he suggests some big MH like they using at the store but I think those are way too big and ugly. Who would put those bigo silver fixture in the middle of the living room?? he said thats what he use for his own tank. I think he is a little nutty...using those in the house.

What will be the best choice other than the coral life lights?
I would like the same design....all in one and doesn't take up a lots of space. I don't mind spending a litte more to get the best stuff, but them boys at Exotic said this is the best bang for the buck consumer's grade lighting. Are they telling me the truth?
From what I've seen is they carry a full line of Coral life lights, no others brand right now as far as PC.
I remember a few years back we've bought a JBJ or somthing like that almost set the house on fire, I hope this one will be Okay.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance guys and girls.fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
