It stings the nostrils
I went to Reef Industries and the guy there was very rude and argumentative to me, I will not be going back.
Good LFS West Valley / Central PHX?

As someone who goes to RC quite a bit I think they tend to let you browse and expect for you to ask them if you have any questions/need help. (Not saying that its your fault at all) Just seems to be their way of operation. As far as reef industries I'm pretty sure its not a normal store, you have to call or something to get the guy to be in the store. Haven't been there but I remember reading it I think.

never heard of this joint what the address and how long has it been open.
PS: I couldnt comment about any one store as they all have their faults and they have their percs (get it i made a funny there) :crazy1:
Personally if you have not been to any one store then you need to take a day and full tank of gas and go see every single one of them in one shot and check em out. Choose for yourself.
Most will push Reef culture because one of our local buddies helped open it and alot of the guys there are known and the store itself just looks bad ***. However prices are the same as everyone else on 95% of their stuff except the local frags and fish.
About the reef very tight store/clean very nice staff when you can get one's attention (good luck) can get you anything and everything you could dream off including very nice freshwater fish. Prices are high ^^^
IMO Ocean Floor is the only real crap hole in the valley

The whole Reef Industry thing confuses me. I wanted to go by and check it out but was told it's not like a regular store and you have to call first.
Can you explain your experience a little more?

I think whoever goes to reef industries needs to bring a camera with them or take some cell phone pics and post them. Especially the spray painted door LOL.
IMO. 1. reef culture because they always have what I want and if they don't they will order it for me and are extremely knowledgeable.
2. aquarium arts. just because I have always been going there and they know me pretty well.
3. pets inc. but it has been hit or miss lately the past year or so. I love the store but highly dislike the staff.
4. aquatouch. it's a bit far for us east siders but always worth the trip.
5. Pet safari isn't half bad either. small but descent.
There is also a link at the top of the FRAG board with a list of LFS BTW.

They are in the back of the complex next to a glass place. Add az.com to the name for the website.
WWW.reefindustriesaz.com I have no complaints about it. I have been there multiple times and will call him before I drive anywhere else. I do like aquarium arts as well. I didn't like he staff at aquatouch and pets inc staff is obnoxious as well. So ill go to reef industries any day of the week.

"Welcome to Reef Industries AZ ~ the Southwest's finest importer and wholesale supplier of saltwater fish, invertebrates, and coral!"
-As a question from someone who has been around the hobby for a while but kinda new to the business side of things, doesn't that mean they should be selling to LFS and not consumers? It seems as if they were a wholesaler and importer their retailers wouldn't be happy about them selling to consumers and taking their retailers business away.
Simply a question, not ripping on them but just curious....
