Maybe we can organize a GB? :P Your driving or flying?
Split gas between a few people perhaps? Some items aren't too great but the prices of their tangs is just outrageous. |

heard very mixed reports down in socal about that place too..
i think its similar to 6th ave or the lucky goldfish in sj (not the oakland one, which is totally different and has very nice quality stuff..)..

The store stink
 .. The floor was wet. Coral looked half dead. If you think they sell Black Tang for $99, think again. One of an old couple asked for the price on the Yellow Tang and the guy told him $65 for a 3-4" YT... I got there around 4PM (they close at 7). Their day light was off. I couldn't see well so I asked one of the guy if there is any daylight on these tanks. The answer was don't know. I found the switch and turned it on. Another guy (look like the owner) came over and turned it off. He said don't turn it on because it will shock the coral.  ..

Tried calling them about the fish. Given the run around. Was told that they only sell to local, etc.... Big Joke.

I went there and bought a nano cube deluxe for $120, not bad. It is in artesia in a strip mall. not too bad, just have to be careful what you buy like anyplace else, the fish tank prices are cheap but if you buy other stuff from there, they mark it up. in the socal reef central, some like them, other trash them. I think they are ok.

Those prices are even less than what most local stores can buy for wholesale. Ask Gresham, as he is well schooled in this business. I spend the time to isolate and acclimate all specimens. What that amounts to is a lot of work, and in this hobby, what you pay is about what we lose before it's ever seen, and what it takes to save and preserve what we can. A place like this is probably as bad as the reviews I just read, and I would caution all my friends to know that a bargain in this hobby is rarely that. We live an expensive compulsion, but trying to take shortcuts rarely succeeds. I've been doing this professionally long enough to know.
I have no problem with my friends trying to save a buck, but do it wisely. Equipment and supplies don't die... Bobby Out |
