Will be posting up pictures of our new stock in the next few days. We have been collecting some great items for our re grand opening, so do not miss out on this event!

Yup! Actually we've changed the store hours a bit to be more accessible for everyone, so Tues-Sat is 11-7, with Sun and Mon from 2-6.


Grand opening is tomorrow, and we're already running low on space with all the goodies Will's been bringing in, and have even more stuff still showing up!

I agree on the coral! Stopped by shortly after opening and was expecting too see a lot more! The coral selection was very low.

It was great to stop by, expected to buy just a powerhead, ended buying a mangrove too, just went over my budget :-p, a lot more fish than the last place, very impressive set up, dry goods were awesome and as always Will's friendly personality awesome.

Went today at 11 when it opened.

Pros:
Good store layout, nice tank setups, and very nice dry goods section

Cons:
Low selection of coral
("hyped" up too much on Sdreefs that there was going to be a lot of coral)
Very few fish
Almost no Sps coral
And neon orange frogspawn and hammer were not actually very orange

A work in progress and store has potential.

Just not as good as selection as I thought today

Don't worry, our direct shipment that was suppose to come in a week ago is due now on the 31st.

We did have about 300 pieces of coral here (now maybe half left)... It might've looked low, due to the amount of holding space we now have for more direct shipments :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the post :) Glad you like the setup and our dry goods.

Our direct shipment that was due a week ago is now arriving on the 31st. 150 clams, 130 anemones, 100 corals + Fish and inverts, all should have been here by our grand opening. Due to Chinese New Year, there were no cargo space for the shipment.

We will continue to stock and post pics of our livestock, which I'm sure everyone is eager to see more of!

Thanks for stopping by today to support us!

I just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who came in to support and see us today. Thank you for your patience during our downtime and continue patience as we restock our new systems and fill them up to the gills!!

We continue to appreciate all your constructive criticisms to ensure that we can be the best we can be to serve the San Diego reef community.

I also stopped by today, the new layout looked great! AWESOME dry goods section! Good job Will! I would have to agree with the previous post about the amount of coral not being the most I have seen you put together, but the amount of space that is available makes my anticipation for what is to come that much greater! When it is full you are def going to be a force to be reckoned with!! I can not wait!

Very few fish

And neon orange frogspawn and hammer were not actually very orange



What??

and what????

I saw a lot of fish, IMO, and those are as orange as orange Euphyllia get. So if you are holding out for a more orange hammer, don't bother. I actually bought one half of the orange FS. I admit the large FS colony was not as orange.

Oh and PS - Thanks for not buying this insane lime green aussie hammer, so I could :D :D

Thanks for coming by yesterday! Glad you liked our new expanded dry goods section. We will definitely be filling up the tanks when they are ready (especially the SPS tanks, which are all empty right now due to its long cycle period). New shipments arriving Monday, so stay tuned! Thanks again!

Those are $29.99 at the shop. 10% off today!

That hammer is awesome! Definitely a show piece, thanks for posting a pic Peter!

Thanks for the post. That's really the most orange hammer you can ever find in the trade. Definitely not a gold/brown or peach. Out of the hundreds of hammers that just arrived from a supplier, they only got 2 of these holy grail hammers in, and we were lucky enough to get one! I'll post up a pic soon, as its still at the shop :)

Probably in another few weeks when we get our frag section dialed in. Will take a little time. Thanks!

Photoshop does wonders to coral. Orange Euphyllia isn't going to be the color of a road cone.
