I moved to the Eastvale Area near Norco, Chino/Hills & Ontario.
Let me know of any LFS in the above areas.

Thanks
 
I'm in corona, south end by Tom's Farm.
In Temecula there is one good place, but HIGH prices.
Jeff's, Ocean Blue.
In Costa Mesa I found a new place by South Coast Plaza.
Nice shop, a little high but you need to work them a little on the price.
Talk to Brian - store manager. Cool
Welcome to the IE, it HOT, HOT out here. Can you say AC please!
 

Thanks for the tips on the stores.
It seems very hot compared to Cerritos.
But the insulation on my house seems very good. hopefully i can get buy without a chiller for my tank.
 
most likely you will need a chiller in the IE.
Another one is Salties next to Tyler Mall. and theirs a few up in the Upland area...Tropical Fish, Fragframers, and Jans Fish in Monclair.
 
If you are ever in the area come by. I have a chiller on my 90. And it's running. But that's why I have it. I don't always run the house AC.
The chiller is cheaper to run.
 
I also live in Eastvale. Being an OC transplant, as many in eastvale are, still shop in OC when I shop. Although I will make the trip to Passion of the Sea in Rowland Heights and Central Aquarium in Upland for their awsome live goods.
 
I can second the hot weather in IE. I’ve just move to Corona about a month ago. My new tank is still going thru cycling. With the temp of 86 (light off). I tried everything and could not bring the temp down. My chiller is expected to deliver this weekend…

Jrcastro â€"œ you might need to run your house AC to keep the temp down in IE or just invest in chiller…. About LFS in Corona.. try checking out Canyon Tropical Fish at 91 and Weir Canyon Rd.. Reasonable prices and friendly staffs.

What size tank? How hot does it get in your house during the day? your tank should not be that hot with the lights off.

in riverside

coral sea.. nice high end store
treasures of the sea.. good hobbiest store
elliots. great prices on fish and corals
salties. if you like to barter for fish prices this is your place. beware he mixes his own saltwater with tapwater.=(
fish fantasy
the usuasal petcos and petsmarts

if you go south there are 5 stores in the temucla area..

i would say check out all of the stores and make your own opinion of them. i do not like to talk bad about my lfs's they all have great attributs
anthoner thing to check out. is Inlandreefs.net monthly meetings that are floating to one house to the next each month. a good group of peeps too

My tank is 55 gal Hex with 10 gal wet/dry sump. I have Iwaki water pump MD 20RLT (external pump) about 2yrs old used on my 100 gal glass tank. The only internal pump that I have is RIO 600V used for skimmer. The temp in my house when I got home last night was about 91degree and the tank is 88:( I have try turning off RIO pump over night and the temp haven't change. This morning the temp is 86 with the house temp of 78 :confused: . Do you think it’s Iwaki and if so what I can do to correct this... I have cleaned the front part of the pump about 3 days ago with no change in the temp. I have noticed that under my tank stand have little or no ventilation and very hot. The Iwaki pump have a built-in fan that cool the pump down but generated heat within my stand. Any help guys? Do you think chiller will fix my problem or I should get into the bottom of this before installing my chiller. "JBJ chiller 1/5"

The temp of 86 in the tank is with only power compact lights of dual 65watt Actinic on with three small fan built in the canopy. Have I mentioned the tank is still going thru cycling..
So I can afford to leave my MH off… for now…
 
try putting in a fan inside the stand and keep the doors open. this will help alot and of course a chiller will too.
