Possbility of a New LFS?!

[Ninja120]

I was driving on san mateo noticed this a shop called vivid reef, by any chance is this the new LFS that people are talking about? I saw it on san mateo across the street from Peter piper pizza. Ill probably check it out tommorow.

oh cool, let me know what you find. I'd another alternative to the other LFS here in town.

very excited if it is true. What is the closest cross street?

 

[Greysoul]

Candelaria? Possibly where Hanauma Bay used to be?

 

[DaZarge]

That would be pretty cool. Does it look to be open?

 

[Chronicj7]

Viviv Reef is now open. A friend of mine opened the shop and is still getting shipments of livestock in. He will be carrying everything from food and equipment to fish and corals. Go support a local shop! He should have most of the store stocked by Tuesday.

 

[xmenx2dad]

will have to check it out. Will they carry higher end corals?

 

[Chronicj7]

He will be getting a big shipment of coral in on Tuesday. Not sure if he will be carrying any ORA, FHI, Tyree right away. He may need to build his clientele first.

 

[xmenx2dad]

any reviews? has anyone checked it out yet?

 

[DaZarge]

Pretty cool looking. They are still waiting on fish, but have a fair number of corals in.

 

[sgallant04]

cool. I always like seeing equipment in the store. I'll go check it out this weekend.

 

[Ntvper]

yes awesome place he has a nice setup and i need to get over there to pickup my stuff lol

 

[sgallant04]

A bit small, the prices on salt looked right. I also was pleased w/ the pricing on the larger pieces of coral. like $150 lower. Not like some of those $300 prices at some other stores. yeeesh!

Stopped by ..great prices on coral and super cheap high end frags ...

They still have a lot to do but I hear SWR is also making some nicer upgrades as well ..nothing like good healthy competition to raise the bar for everyone..Nice thing is we all benefit from this!

 

[Gomer]

really good news might have to make a trip

 

[Obmas]

Do they have a web site yet? I want to check it out but hard up get down there often.

 

[Chronicj7]

They don't have a website up yet.

 

[Ninja120]

Sorry for the late reply but just went there couple weeks ago. They have a pretty awesome setup. I like the look down tank they have in the middle and the frags are priced very well. Must check it out!

Id like to say its really refreshing to go some place that loves for you to be there. I dont usually point out peoples names, and these guys are ALL friendly, but Jin ( hope I spelled his name correctly) is really cool! I wish them success cuz they treat customers very good and they have everything priced good. amazing frags, Corals and service sounds like what we needed in this town.
