Ellis Aquatic
Compton, CA
Nothing but good things has happen to me here. He is my go to LFS although it's not in a commercial area its still accessible like any other LFS. He always finds a way to deliver products from fish, corals, and dry goods at dirt cheap prices. He has cool Bubble tip Anemone and Clownfish section in which his bubble tip anemone are always bubbled up. This place is the closes it get in term of competing with LFS from the east side. We have a couple of worthy stores but I am hearing there are revamping some stores so hopefully we get more options.
Bob's Aquarium
Monterey Park, CA
I come here to see fishes they have a small frag tank in the back but they always seems to have all the corals reserved or pending pick up. So i stop asking them if they are selling. They are the only places that carry Black worms (Thanks [MENTION=2928]Tangwich[/MENTION]:top
and PE Mysid Their freshwater fish are the best love picking up tetras from him. They have the best turtle tank ever love there set up.
Pasadena Tropical Fish
Pasadena, CA
They get bash on a lot by many but I really haven't had a problem with them they price there fish reasonably second cheapest place I seen. They also have sections of reef safe fish, Non- Reef, and Aggressive. They have some cool corals but they are expensive everything other than fish is expensive. They also have a cool selection of freshwater stuff that is dirty cheap seems only there marine stuff is expensive. They have everything you can name from off brand to name brands but you really need to look for them. They have really come in clutch when I couldn't find things anywhere else and I need them that day.
Don't have pictures of these places but I will update as soon as I visit these LFS again.
I don't comment on C.O.C, Reef Lounge, Tongs, Reef Raft, SPS corals etc because I know people are going to give more detailed review on them than I am but these are great places.
