My recommendation depends what you're looking for...

Ocean Treasures is a newer store and has some nice setups.
http://www.oceantreasuresaquarium.com/index.htm

Fish Fish & More Fish had multiple salt water tanks, but mostly smaller ones.
http://www.fishfishandmorefish.com/

If you're willing to travel to the south bay, I'd visit Aquatic Gallery.
http://www.aquatic-gallery.com/

If you're looking to buy stuff, prices may be better at some of the other local shops.

Have a great time in the Bay Area.

There is a store in Oakland on Broadway and near Grand called Lucky Goldfish. He has a very nice display and some nice corals but he wants a lot of money for them.

if you drive south for 10-15 min theres Atlantis aquarium....a great place for coral....

Ocean treasures has great prices on equipment..and as stated, nice setups...

Aquatic gallery is nice if you dont mind their prices..

Thanks guys!

I will check them out. Gonna drive by the Lucky Goldfish tomorrow.

When it comes to buying, I guess that its mainly HW that is of intrest as it will be impossible to get anything alive back to Sweden.

I found a store in chinatown, and bought a phosban-reactor.
