This! Some places will try to sell you anything just to get a sale and they sometimes don't have a clue what they are talking about and give bad info. Not all places, but some. If you find something you like don't buy it unless it's something you were looking for. Go home and think about it. Also, posting here what you found others might be able to answer your questions that you didn't think about. So many things to consider............Stay out of high pressure places until you decide - well, don't stay out, but don't let them talk you into anything you haven't decided for yourself. If you see something you really like I would suggest that you don't buy it right away unless it's what you have been looking for. Go home and think about it and ask questions here if necessary. Sometimes just posting here what you are thinking about buying some people might point out things you haven't thought of yet.
Good Luck!!

I'd love to hear some LFS recommendations for San Francisco or Bay Area!!
Wow, I was just there a while back. Low pressure, super friendly staff. Glad my radar for a good place is aligned with experienced reefers. ;Happy;HappyWelcome to R2R! Lots of great reefers here in the Bay Area. Like others have mentioned, take it slow and keep it simple. Watch BRS videos and read as much as you can on the site before you start buying equipment. Look on Craigslist too. Lots of good deals on used equipment. It took me almost a year before I had water in my current tank. Reef tanks are a marathon, not a sprint!
We have some good LFS in the Bay Area. Personally I buy my corals online or through a couple trusted local reefers. For fish, I only buy from Aquatic Collection. Great selection, prices and healthy fish. They also have a large selection of corals and they’re probably the closest to SF.
If you don’t have a tank yet, swing by Neptune’s in San Jose. They have a huge selection of awesome tanks to either buy or just get ideas. They also have some great display tanks set up and a huge selection of fish and corals.
Oh sorry I missed these posts, no not yet.i am very impulsive ,would of done by now just kidding lol
