I finally had a chance to stop in and see Ali's shop today. I hung out for a bit and had a nice chat with Ali about reefs, old school corals and other reef related stuff. There are so many cool things about his shop, but most of all are the actual colony sized colonies. I love the fact that some tanks only have a few species of corals, but they were nice, healthy and big. I also love that he still uses halides over some tanks (bonus points in my book). For those that haven't been there before, it's a must stop shop in your rolodex of LFS. Fortunately for me, I have to be in the area again next week, so I'll definitely stop in and say hi.
Thanks for such a cool shop and thanks for chatting with me today, Ali, you have a great shop!

I'd love to support them but they never answer their phone. I've been calling during business hours as noted on their website as well as leaving voicemails. Is it a small shop?

I’m surprised, he always picks up my calls.

Ali is an old timer Reefer. His store is small but nice and clean. Always hooked me and my son up with some nice corals with discounts.

He's only in the store late afternoons from what I remember seeing on the door's store hours. He also services tanks, so I'm sure he's keeping himself busy.

+1 for the later afternoons. The guy is a legend and always a good chance to kill some time while getting educated/talking shop with him and other fellow hobbyists.
