Go to Scripps Aquarium. I don't know where it is other than it is in San Diego but it is worth seeing

Try this link, just put in a zip code. I am not sure if that area has been added to the map.

Maybe ask in the SoCal forum? They ought to know their stores pretty well: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=50

And we will expect full reviews when you return!! I am probably going to San Diego in the spring. :)

I just moved here from San Diego 2 years ago and still go back there every couple months, Octopus Garden is pretty good I have not bought anything from there is a couple years. Pet Kingdom from what I here is pretty good, there corals are pretty good from what I here. Brilliant Reef is a hit and miss one time I go in there and everything is great, and the next time I would not buy anything from them the tanks look bad and the fish are dead. Fountains Aquarium is a rip off looks good on the outside but never had any luck with anything I bought there, I still go in there every now and then and it is still the same corals look like crap, and fish dead in the tanks. Aquatic Warehouse is the best of the bunch IMO I sitll buy from them when I go back, always a good selection and good people working there. There is one that is not on your list and that is Vets Pets, I think, the name might be different, but it is on chase blvd in El Cajon on you wat out of town. they always have a great slection and they will not sell you a fish if it is not well and eatting. Great people there also.

I've been to Fountains, Pet Kingdom, and Aquatic Warehouse. I got some GREAT rock from Fountains at a good price. The stock is less expensive at Pet Kingdom, but they don't package it as well for the drive home to Tucson. Aquatic Warehouse is great and they package well for the trip home. The staff there is also very knowledgable. They have some specials too.
