California-- bay area lfs???

[duke4130]

Hey everyone, I haven't been up to Nor Cal (I am originally from Gilroy) to visit my family in a couple of years and am planning a trip up there soon. I was wondering what are some good must see LFS in the bay area....

Thanks
Kevin

Baja Reefs- I've been told it's nice
Diablo Corals- Small place but there are always some sweet designer clowns/corals there
Neptunes aquatics- Some neat FW stuff and nice livestock
Aqua Forest Aquarium- FW planted only, small, but some SA-WEET planted aquariums.

Do these places have collector corals or just every day bread and butter stuff....

Diablo and Neptune both have some nicer stuff. Chalice and zoas for sure (only thing I was paying attention to). I'm sure there were so Sps too

All about sucks compared to Diablo, but they have more supplies.

If you all looking for collector/named pieces, then I recommend going to Diabli Corals in Concord.

If you are looking for a large selection of various corals and great customer service, go to Neptune Aquatics in Milpitas.

Aqua Exotic in Belmont is a small reef store. They have a few nice named zoas and chalices.
