Hey guys, my tank is up and running and I am looking to stock it. What are your favorite LFS's in SoCal?
And are any of them open on Sunday?
Really wanted to go to Seaside Aquatic's OC Frag Swap but had to work all day yesterday. Anybody go and get any good deals?

Aquasd is pretty sick for corals, and pet emporium nearby has a pretty nice selection of fish.

Going west down the 10 from you :

shillington's (calimesa) has very healthy copperbands when they are in stock (call in advance) and scarlet legged hermit crabs.

Ocean aquatics (redlands) will special order you just about anything that can be had,and has a nice selection of rbta.

Jan's (Montclair) is a decent stop on the way to :

Ck fish world: plenty of great nano fish and sometimes a decent selection of coral.

I prefer seaside and age of aquariums for my harder to find fishies and coral and clams.
