Okay so I saw this ad on Craigslist and it said something to the affect that it was the largest warehouse in O.C. and can beat anyone's pricing. The store was ready for grand opening....made this sound so great.

I drive all the way over there from South O.C. and it's some warehouse location. That's okay with me, doesn't have to be a perfectly nice retailer. The first trip I took out there was on Memorial Day weekend on Saturday. There is a sign says closed for construction or something like that. I then tried again two weeks later and same sign.

I mean come on...wasted my time, gas, drive...

What's the deal..anyone else find this irritating!

Needless to say, I won't be going back.

well.... If you'll notice under the sponsor section. All your questions will be answered... PYA, a member posted a thread entitled "NEW STORE.. Stay tuned folks" explaining that he has been putting together a new store and it is ready or almost ready to go!!!

I think there are 2 different stores in reference here and the OP is talking about OC Tropical Fish Warehouse in GG, whereas old OC Tropical Fish now PYA is in Lake Forest.

Then I shall point you here ----> 20761 Lake Forest Drive, Lake Forest CA
I drove all the way out there from rancho today got there around four and it was still closed. The sign on the door said they were supposed to open at 330. Saw a few people waiting for the store to open hung around for awhile to see if someone would show up but no one did. Left and went to costco and called the store around 5 but no answer. Huge waste of gas to go out there.

Nah the owner is cool, he just having a hard time setting up the whole store by himself.... He working slowly to get the saltwater setup but it's getting there .. Right now him and his uncle are breeding discus in the back room.. Pretty neat setup ..

I when to that store when it was barely opening,but when I was there they were barely put in the saltwater in the tank for they saltwater section and when I talk to the one of the employee they say the saltwater section will be up in 2 week,but never have the chance to go back again.But the good thing I got a good deal on my nano pump.
