Man, if I had good money I would open a store and deflate the **** out of all the LE coral and nice coral in general, and pretty much keep everything on sale, I still cringe at the markups in this hobby.
well i have a garage we can start one !

I went there today and they're only discounting hardgoods for 15% off. They had boxes of IO salt and I asked if they were for sale and the said no. They wanted to sell me individual bags of salt for like twice the price

If it's Neptunes reef it's only sad cause it's one less fish store in the South Bay. But aside from that they could give a crap about the salt water hobby. They had horrible selection in coral and never any good fish selection.

Their dry goods were waayyyyyyyy stupidly priced. Bulbs for like 38$ and Gfo like 19$ more expensive than other stores.

The lil fat kid (sandlot looking troll) was annoying and always tried to go to the Wholeseller to come up and slang on the side.

Ellis a really good guy. If I'm in the area I try and stop by and see what he has. His prices on livestock are always good. Dry goods are hit or miss.

Everything is only 15% off, and only a very small table that is 50% off I would wait a week or two before it starts getting good, just a heads up

I was there yesterday, can confirm. There weren't any real smoking deals on anything in the store. Look towards the end of the month for the real deals.

Any updates on this? Im wondering if he doesn't even blow everything out. Not like you can score any good light fixtures or high dollar equip, he didn't carry any of it, best thing would be tanks.

I went down there last week and there wasn't any good coral left and as stated it was only a small table that was 50% with nothing good on it. They did have some decent deals on some tanks and stands towards the back. I was gonna get a fish or two but then I noticed a dead fish with ich on it just floating in one of the tanks which was connected to all of the other tanks.. So I just left and didn't get anything..
