Stopped by the new lfs here in Pasadena today. Spoke with the super nice couple that own and run the shop, Art and his wife Jessica. The store is called Art's Underwater Reef (Yelp link below) and they specialize in aquaculture home grown coral. They also had a very nice selection of marine fish and inverts. Their shelves had a decent supply of dry goods and their freezer was fully stocked with a varied selection of frozen foods.
They also have a fridge with complimentary water for the thirsty reefer that loves to talk reef with similar minded reef addicts. I was pleasantly surprised with their prices on livestock as everything seemed to be priced lower than the average prices I have been seeing in shops and online lately.
Lastly, the store is very clean and from speaking with Art, their plans are to bring in more fish, more coral (wild and home grown), more inverts and even start stocking Freshwater livestock and supplies to meet everyone's fishkeeping needs.
So if you're in the area, stop by and show Art and Jessica some SCR support!
PS I was not paid to write this review nor am I associated in any way with this shop. Just my honest thoughts on a new awesome shop and like I told Art. The more successful shops we have in socal, the more knowledge gets distributed to new reefkeepers about responsible reefkeeping practices so its a win-win for all.
PPS thanks Gary @chowberg for letting me know a new shop had opened in my area. It's only 6 blocks away from me which is pretty fortunate 👍
