-Ok, I finally got into Saltwater city the other day and I was pleasantly surprised by their very nice selection of lps, zoos, shrooms and even sps! Then I saw the prices. They are the only store in the seattle area that carries a really nice assortment of corals and they know it! That being said, I know I will still spend money there since they are only about 15 minutes from where I live and they just have things that other stores around here don't. Their fish are in pretty good shape, but again on the pricey side. They recieve shipments on Tuesdays, so if you want to get the first grabs at the new stuff, that is probably the day to head in. The verdict: A great little store, but be ready to drop some coin. What else would you expect from a LFS that is pretty much across the street from a Rolls-Royce dealership?
SPS: Best selection for the near Seattle stores.
Soft/LPS: Tons, many tanks full of different corals, healthy and large, but you are going to pay for it.
Fish: Fair selection, great health and kinda high pricing.
Reef supplies & tanks: Good selection.
Staff: Nice people, eager to talk and help out. They make pretty sound recommendations on purchases.
