      Visiting SD, What are some good reef Shops?

      Hey guys, Im hanging out in SD on sunday. I live in Los Angeles and i would love to check out the local fish stores around the area. Yelp gave me some info but i would love to get pointers from you guys. Yelp is pointing me to Pet Kingdom and Aquatic Warehouse, any other shops i should visit? Thanks for the help guys.

      Pet Kingdom is practically a Zoo nice place to checkout. Also a The reef and reptile company has a nice selection of corals. Vet Pets has good people.

      Ditto to ASD and AW, and yeah, PK is just cool for *everything*. They have a pretty nice macro tank if you're into that.

      Shipwreck Cove is another spot in Encinitas you may want to checkout.

      Coral tourist:

      Spend all your $$$, (See list above, +1), and then stop by Scripp's pier for our free salt water!

      -Don't forget to bring your jugs!-

      Have fun!

      AW for everything. Dry goods, fish, corals, oddball livestock you name it. Best rare FW stock in San Diego too.

      Shipwreck cove is good for high-end SPS. Nice new store. It's on your way off the 5. Encinitas tropical fish is a couple blocks from their location as well.

      Pet Kingdom is nice too. About 10 minutes from AW. I'd definitely check it out if you're into reptiles.

      A little biased are we?

      For real though, AW is great, i shop there often. Aqua SD is a great stop too and literally just down the road from AW.

      If you are hitting the north county stores, reefers garage, tri city tropical, aquatica, encinitas tropical, and shipwreck are all within 15 miles of each other. Bonus, i think encinitas tropical is having a bbq tomorrow so you can fit in a free lunch.
