Ali,

You're off to a good start, the setup and layout is nice.

Please consider putting prices on our goods/livestock. I like to browse and definitely want to know the prices as I do.

Open topped tanks. Sounds a bit like Tat's in Thousand Oaks.

It's supposed to be a secret, but prices aren't set because Ali gives discount according to the number of posts that you post in this thread.

Only postive experiences count. No brownie points for negative comments from whiners and fakers.

Extra points if you list address and phone number as well.

Oh yeah, double points and free ATI skimmer if you start your own thread about the store in any socal forum.

Okie GO!

j.k guys.

I stopped by Ali's store around noon and walk away with a yellow blenny which he said it is very rare and very hard to get a hand on, and he sell at a good price too.

I went to his store today and hes a little self conscience about it, so no pics were taken. He wants to get it fully stocked and finished before any pics are posted.

Had a chance to visit the store today, and was delighted to meet Ali, whom I asked if he were "Andy"...... I need to get out more......
Nice guy, Great set up, every OC Reefer needs to stop by and take a peak.

Tell Ali he better email me some pictures then. I just want to see what he's accomplished at some point.

Ken, thanks for nothing! Brat.

Thumbs up props to Ali

I have to give huge props to Ali.. as you may have seen, I just lost most all my acros acutely, and still have no idea why

Ali got wind of this and gave me a call, he heard I was looking for polyfilter and was stuck at work till 11:00 saturday night. he offered to, and kept his shop open for me until I got there. then he gave me a huge discount, and offered to house my high-end corrals, and loaned me an ozone generator which i an convinced turned the corner for me and saved what few corals I had left

thanks! Ali, I have not lost another thing since i put the ozoniser on the tank. I ordered you a new one
