Cool New Reef Store in SF

Hey All,

Been a while since I've been active on the forums...But I checked out a new reef store on Van Ness (up near GG Bridge), and it's really killer. Great frags, decent prices for SF, and some NICE algaes. Not worth a special trip or anything, but if you're in the area...

Is this the one on Lombard? I just noticed it this past weekend. I didn't get to go in because it was closed. Did they have a lot of SW stuff?

The one I'm referring to is on Lombard and Divisadero. I'm not sure if Ryan is talking about the same one tho.

The one on lombard is called Aquarium center, small but clean. Only Salt water stuff. its been open for 2 weeks.

Not sure about anything on Van Ness? And I don't think its the store from the thread back in Dec.

What are their hours of business and what is the cross street of Lombard?

By any chance anyone would have their phone number.

I took a detour route home due to the Bay Bridge traffic and I found the store Fish Fish & More Fish. As Arnold said, it is small, but nice & clean. One of the owner, Kevin has a good knowledge on the fish. They are both moved from NY to Bay Area. The store was opened only 2 weeks ago. I did not see many SPS, but tonight, they are receiving their coral shipments from Indonesia, so they said tomorrow is a good time to visit.
Nice people and good customer service.

OK,
The address is 2443 Lombard Street, SF, CA 94123
phone: 415-346-3222
I am not sure the whole week store hours, but yesterday till 7:30PM. Call them first and talk to Kevin Huang or Jordan Kashansky on the store hours.

Hmm just went to the store on lombard. Pretty clean , not a whole lot. But customer service could be better. Freaking got a lecture on credit card signatures!!! I mean come on you want my business or what? I really regret making the purchase of some clown gobies after the treatment I got. I mean really, if your serving clients in the Marina district, I'd expect better service. I think Jordan was the one who rang me up. Anyway needless to say I won't be returning to that place.

When you get a credit card you should sign it. It is for your protection and the merchant. If it is not signed it is not valid for use.

Do you really think your THAT much better than everyone else? What kind of statement is that?
