Wow!!! Thanks for sharing! That looks like somewhere that I would really enjoy visiting! Was there anything that you found interesting, that you learned, or think that others would learn from your experience?

Wish I took more pic's but there was so much stuff to look at, it took an hour just to browse.....with sending wife down the street to do some light grocery shopping, i had to hustle

Talked to the Staff Marine Biologist. Very nice, knowledgeable. Brooke was her name. We mostly talked about those massive commercial "bullet led lights " hanging over each tub. Designed for 40ft deep public aquariums.

Seems that SBReef Lighting was bought out by these folks. I believe they said those bullet lights were their own design.

Front of the warehouse is a store front with dry goods.

You step into the warehouse where they have their large tubs. Never seen so many large colonies for sale like they have. Pricing appropriate for colonies.... $200 - $500

The back of the warehouse is the frag area. Well laid out. Frags from $20 - $200. Priced appropriately.

If I want a showpiece colony, definitely this is the place.

Greet feedback! Was there anything with their tanks, filtration, lighting, or other equipment or processes that caught your attention?
