So, I have the day off and want to spend it checking out new stores and stocking the tank. I'm free all day so I don't mind driving. Shoot me your favorites, even not so favorites lol. Anywhere in the la or oc area. I've been to reef lounge, vivid and Sps coral store.

Spill the beans bean! I know you know of a few more good shops down there in addition to that one.
Hahaha well I mainly frequent Coral Gazers in Tustin since its down the street from my place.

I've been meaning to check out the new Coral Collection spot, also Iconic Reef in Huntington.

Tong's has a bunch of fish and coral to look at.

IRC in HB has some great deals and 2 nice sps tanks.

Seaside is good, great fish selection

Coral Gazers is great

Coral Collection is a little out of the way from the rest, but well worth the trip.

Amazing Aquariums is just that. Some of the cleanest displays ive seen out of a LFS

My go to is A Piece of the Ocean in Lakewood.
