Sps Coral Store

The owners are really cool and I like talking to them about reef care. Some of the workers there are alright with knowledge. So if I want a definite answer I talk to Aaron

Things are looking better. I have been using there Water for a while. My tank is looking good. Best water around, from salt to R/​O.

This place does have pretty decent and healthy livestock. However; the older gentlemen that helped me had poor customer service skills, and Poor advice. Every time I asked for a specific coral, the response I got was not for sale. The health of their livestock is great. Only reason why they get 3 stars.

Thank you Henry and granddaughter for helping Tristan get his Candy Coral LPS. He loves it and it will be a nice addition to his salt water tank!
You have a beautiful store with exotic corals. Wish the store was closer, but we will come again.

This is a great shop for all your hard to find items including dry goods and coral. Aaron and his father are great people that will answer all your questions and point you in the correct direction towards keeping a successful marine aquarium. I can’t wait to come back to the shop as I haven’t been there in quite some time and would enjoy to see their wonderful display tank since it was very hot that day and the AC was broken. Don’t hesitate to check this place out it’s worth the drive

I have been going to this store for a while now. They always have an excellent selection of fish, SPS, and other coral. They also have the largest selection of in stock dry goods I have seen. Protein skimmers, dosers, controllers, lighting, supplements, reactors, food, they have it all. Another great thing about this store is the knowledgeable staff. They pay close personal attention to their customers needs, and often go above and beyond to help their customers out. When I first started out with reef keeping I had several issues with my tank. They took the time, listened and helped me correct these issues. They never push products to make a sale, and always give honest advice. Although this store is rather far away from me now it’s the only store I actually go to.

I was very excited to see some really great specimens of ORA seahorses. All aquaculture photosynthetic gorgs were decent. Some algae issues. Prices were high, but it’s because they were aquacultured. I will be back for a really nice piece of gorg ASAP. Overall, small store, high quality goods, worth the visit if you have the budget.

A LOT of different choices of corals to choose from. The store itself is bit small, but overall, clean store, friendly employee, and healthy, decent priced livestocks.

Great store. Even though it’s a small place, they have a lot of great SPS corals, and they have small frags of a number of them for a reasonable price, which works nice with my tight budget. And all the people there are very nice and very willing to help and answer questions and give guidance. I also really liked hearing that the fish they sell have either been tank-​raised or they have quarantined them for 6 weeks and treated them before offering them for sale in order to make sure they are not going to spread a disease to other fishes in your tank, and to also make sure that they are not going to have some problem eating and dying from starvation in a few days after you get them home.

Love this place there tanks are very clean and the people who work here are very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this store to anyone. Surprisingly good prices for the expensive area they are in.

Live a half hour away in the valley. Still make the hike out here. They are a smaller shop but carry more hardware than anyone else. They also only carry the best quality livestock and keep the store up well. Everyone there has great knowledge of the industry as well. I would suggest checking them out if you have a saltwater tank.

I can’t believe this is my LFS! Who knew the north glendale/​la canada area would have a small, high end reef store with all the name brand coral frags, and ORA livestock. And the prices are fair! And the display tanks are immaculate. And the owner/​workers truly knowledgable.
This place won’t impress the casual fish keeper, as it’s aimed towards the reef elitist who wants all the best name brands and blingy frags. But for those of us in the know, and addicted to this expensive hobby, this place is LEGIT.

Best fish store in the area. I have been a reefer for a long time and I have not found a better store to date. It is extremely clean and they have a huge inventory of the top brands like ecotech and innovative marine. Brands that are too expensive for most stores to keep on hand.
Jesse and Aaron have one of a kind customer service! Last week they ordered a clownfish morph and they had it in store two days later. They answer questions very quick via email and are willing to work with me on any project or idea I have.
I love this place and have made it my go to LFS.

I’m leaving a 5 star review because I’ve had great experiences here with a very knowledgable staff. They haven’t tried to up sell me anything and have been fairly helpful. A lot of cool exotic stuff, not just your typical fish store. They can do custom set ups too. That being said, I do have a complaint:
The great staff I’m referring to is almost never there. There have been multiple visits where I show up and they only have their one worker who literally knows nothing about aquariums holding down the fort. He’s obviously hired just to do busy work so I can’t blame him but where are the main guys who run this place? I drive 45 minutes to come here and I’ve been disappointed several times. I think the management should reconsider their operating hours since half the time the store isn’t really operating. If I wasn’t so impressed by my first few visits I would not be leaving a 5 star.

I have not seen Aaron who has been great.
Now there is an elderly gentleman who couldn’t really provide the service I needed…
I went in to check my water and buy some chemi-​pure.
I came out buying some water clarifier and coral food that (I only later found out) I really didn’t need. He tested my Phosphate which came out to be an error (I found out later). He also said he would email the other test results. Of course, I got no email for 2 weeks.
I hope Aaron comes back.
It’s a great store otherwise. Corals look very healthy in the tank.

The store specializes in SPS corals but there still is a huge selection of LPS and soft corals. Every tank is very well maintained and the owner Aaron knows his stuff and won’t try to sell you something you don’t need. Definitely would recommend this shop to any reef keeper, beginner or advanced.

Amazing shop for SPS they have all of the «named» pieces i have been searching for without a huge price tag. The owner is a hobbyist at heart and will try and make sure you can actually be successful with the coral or fish you are buying. This shop really bridges the gap between — Profit & Customer Service. They archive everything you buy so in case you lose it, you can always come back and pull up your purchase history and get another frag!
It is a bit small, but if you look close at the tanks there is really a huge variety.

The best reef store around
Great owner, great livestock and very informative store

This is a great lil boutique coral store. Aaron the owner is extremely friendly and great to deal with. He has a great selection of unique and interesting corals that he is farming.
His coral prices are reasonable.
The shop is clean and has a great assortment from bread and butter to the rarer stuff in both the fish and coral selection.
Worth a drive to see one of the better coral stores around.

Great place for SPS corals and everything reef related. This place is a far ways from my house but I would not hesitate to call it one of my favorite stores in all of Southern California.
Aaron, the owner, runs a very neat shop with great service and prices as well. He is extremely knowledgeable and fair; won’t sell you bad corals or fish before they go through a very rigorous quarantine process.
In the shop, you’ll find a HUGE tank right when you walk in with has tons of beautiful SPS and a huge variety of fish as well. To the right, you’ll see their smaller SPS tank with LEDS. Aaron runs different types of lighting on all his coral tanks, showcasing the positives and negatives of different types of lighting (meta halides, T5, LEDS) as well as different types of brands of LEDS (AI, Ecotech, Maxspect, etc). It’s great to be able to see what types of lighting produce what kind of results and it gives you an idea of how these corals will look underneath your own tank as well.
Come here to become impressed and amazed by everything! The only thing I dislike about it is that it’s a little small. Congrats to Aaron for starting this store front and opening it to beginners, hobbyist, and professionals alike.
