What is your "Favorite" LFS ?

[ivyvine1]

What is your favorite LFS as far as "quality" of live aquaria?

Prices are important too, but if you just wanted to go to a REALLY nice LFS and look at some good looking livestock, where would you go?

Thanks in advance,
Irene

For corals: Reef Hot Spot (good prices and thousands of frags to choose from) and Aquarium City (good prices on large colonies)

For Livestock: I go with Aquarium Center and Rainbow Pet Shop.. cheap and so many fish to choose from.

These stores always have quality livestocks and knowledgeable people.

In terms of beautiful displays, Santa Monica Aquarium is great. It's a small shop with higher prices, but absolutely beautiful display aquariums!

Reef Hot Spot is my fav!

Ivy-
My first choice for livestock would be Reefer Madness
(not really a LFS, but Chris welcomes walk-ins).

Next would be Vivid Aquarium.....

im surprised more people didn't mention vivid aquariums! i think they have the best quality of livestock by far, even if the prices are a bit higher. but dave really knows his stuff and everything looks amazing

I'll be the 3rd vote for Crystal Cove over in Murrieta. That place is VERY nice and Bill is always down to take care of you.

Aquarium Center in Sherman Oaks on Mondays between 5-7 PM-you get 25% off.

I usually walk out with 4-6 colonies(LPS & Softies) for about $100.

As for SPS they only have a small frag tank but the stuff is nice.

I've never bought a sick fish from them and they have a guarantee.
