I dunno, the last 3 times I have been there they havent had much. I picked up some large nassarius though. Also, what happened to all thier display tanks and the right side of the tanks in the back? Seems like all is not going so well...

[Bebo77]

but he lives in LA.. who drives 45 min for snails?

[JediReefer]

I am not sure I would drive 45 min for anything less than spectacular

I would order JMO...

I was just commenting on CO, it sure would have been bad if he DID drive down there only to find a few tanks with livestock...lol

[bbehring]

ya my apologies on the CO recommendation. The last time I was in, which was some time ago, it was a good, solid destination store. I'm from the Inland Empire (Hemet) so I'm use to traveling 50 to 80 miles to get to good reef stores. Have been to Tong's and they always seem to have good supplies. Have also also heard a lot of good things about this store:

Not sure about good stores in LA have been to reef hot spot, but can't recall the clean up crew selection?

[JediReefer]

No worries! I go to Tong's quite often as well. They are usually stocked full of stuff like that.

I stopped by AAR a few weeks back, very nice store. I must have gotten there after the masses though as there was not much to choose from hehe.

Gotta get the shipment schedule's down.

[bbehring]

JR, what's your favorite store (destination) in LA/OC?

They dont have anything in their back right tanks anymore they took the old ones out and are putting new tanks back there...

Dr. foster and smith sometimes has sale like build your own and free shipping if you meet $60.00.
