That's what map quest is for :rolleye1:

Chris, I take it YOU will offer LFS tours upon request :D Good man :thumbsup:

Without knowing where in LA he will be, I thought I would just post "some" of them ;)

BTW, I took that list from another thread.

[atanger]

i'm going to be in newport beach. if you you only had time to see 2 stores which would it be?

seems jeff's exotic fish would be a good cholce based on his web site.

thanks again

[JellyTheory]

Ken - I'm willing to do the tour if you're willing to drive. :D

Atanger - Jeff's is always a good choice. :) If you're planning on buying something, goto Reef Collection. If you want to look at a bunch of expensive stuff, goto Tong's.

-Chris

[Konadog]

These would be my pic. Go to Jeff's first, because its the farthest, then hit all 3 on the way back. They are all very close to each other.

Ken,

That list might need to be checked. It's been years since Lance had his aquarium store.

Look at all the business Lance is loosing :p

Like I said, I took this from another thread.

Your are correct, I should take the time to update it, and with web links. I can't tell you how many times people ask the same question from out of town, and we post the same old names!

[erik921]

Does anyone know of a store that has a good selection of hardware? I used to go to a giant pet store back home in VA that had a HUMONGOUS selection of pumps/filters/skimmers/you name it. I'm looking for something similar out here. Suggestions?

[celltime]

FISH WORLD IN TORRANCE 310-630-0707. HAS A REALLY BIG SELETION OF FISH AND CORALS. MORE THAN I EVEN SEEN AT ANY ONE STORE. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT PRICE ON EVERYTHING, BETTER THAN JEFFS EXOTIC. CHECK THEM OUT.

[Pnoytoitz]

which one is closer to universal studio? thanx

[number8]

I personally do not like the torrance lfs listed above

check out the "Aquatic Outlet" Inglewood, Cali

[TurboRook]

Mark's Tropical Fish is in Studio City, about 2 miles from Universal Studios. Definitely worth a drop in.

[cali_reef]

Mike,

How is the new tank doing? Any pictures?

[dflad]

K...so I just moved out here to N LA (Newbury Park) and am looking for the best ones in the area up here. Dont want to have to venture into LA and all the crappy weekday traffic.

Thanks

[Konadog]

Not sure what's in that area, but you should also check out MASLAC (http://maslac.org/) for a local club. We even have a meeting this Saturday.

[jeffreylam1132]

Wow Ken, thanks for all of the location.

[Konadog]

WOW, this is an old thread. Some of those stores don't even exist any more.
