    Default South Seas Aquatics

    Well, I had a bad experience today with a certain store locking their doors about 10 minutes before their advertisied closing time, so maybe I am a little jaded. But, I stopped by this new sponsor's store on the way back home and came away very impressed.

    They're just getting their legs under them, but what a start! Kind of reminds me of the old B & B store. Except that the owners are very personable. Anthony and his brother Gary introduced themselves and let me mill about without hovering, but always stayed within earshot in case I had any questions.

    The coral section could use some better lighting, but the they had a nice assortment of ora pieces and lps. They had a nice selection of fish; large angels, hawkfish, damsels, clowns, basslets, wrasses, and even a couple of splendid dottybacks!

    They're still stocking up on dry goods, but this place is definitely worth stopping by. I know I'll be back.

    I've been wanting to stop by. Glad to gear such an awesome review of the place. I will have to make some time after my move this weekend to stop by. Thanks for the heads up cory. Always appreciated. Sorry to hear some stores aren't willing to stay open to their advertised times. Sounds like you found a good replacement though.

    I have been to many many lfs and I agree this place is nice. Livestock is very happy and not jammed into a cube. And the owner is very fair with prices.

    I've been there once so far. Their tanks are as clean as mine, something I really like.
    Support marine aquaculture, and share with your friends! Then you will find out who they really are.
