LFS Corona Area

[garod82]

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death but is there any new GOOD LFS's in Corona area? The only 2 around that I know of is Canyon Tropical fish in Anaheim Hills and Aquarium in Motion in Corona off Ontario. The owners are both nice so I'm not on here to bash them but they don't have a good selection and I just paid .99 a gallon for Saltwater at AIM. Any suggestions?

You should look up Pacific Reef in Orange off the 55fwy or Global Aquatics in Ontario off the 60fwy look them up.

There's Mystic Reef in Riverside which is pretty close to Corona. If you're off the 15 and Limonite,you just take that road til you hit Camino Real and make a right and there store is right there. They have a nice collection of corals and fish. It's not far at all. Takes about 10 minutes or so to get there from the EastVale shopping center for me.

I understand what you mean about pricing, I asked the price on (1) polyp of captain america about 6 months ago and was told $80 then I wanted to purchase it so a phone call was made and the price changed to $300!! $500 for a single eye pink boobies frag on the same visit!!!

I suspect in the near future these prices will be back down....just a hunch.

Out of all mentioned above, I would personally only recommend Mystic Reef and Amazing Aquariums and Reefs. And I have been to all of the above, a lot.

Ive never been to Amazing aquariums and reefs, but ive been to Mystic reef, the owners are brothers and real cool, they hook up good prices on there peices, very negotiable especialy after you pick up a few frags.

Mytic Reef is about the only place i go anymore,

Just be careful, the great deals they give you will suck the money right outa your pockets. :lolspin:

Yea pretty much...i went to buy a Kole tang but they didnt have any...still left $200 lighter...hmm

Good selection of ORA corals...also got a VERY nice frag of War Coral that loves brine shrimp lol

You got that right, Jeremy almost always sells me on something

Mike owns the orange and torrance pacific reef. The anaheim pacific reef doesnt exist anymore and he doesnt own the fountain valley store...but I also recommend checking out that store as well as Ali at aquariums and reefs, and Jeffs which are all in orange on tustin
