Stopped here for the first time yesterday; they're minutes away from where I'm staying now. Small shop without a huge selection but some nice stuff. The store carries a lot of Mr. Aqua tanks; the livestock is a little pricey but I could make that claim about a lot of LFS. The guys working there seemed nice enough. One dead fish in a SW tank and some Aiptasia in a few others. For the most part the tanks were clean and most stuff looked healthy. I didn't really look at their FW stuff. I just picked up some Rod's Food and frozen Mysis.
 
I like them. I've known them before for the FW side, but recently picked up a few things from the SW side and it's doing well. One of the only stores I know that have a good FW shrimp selection. Nice peeps for sure.
 
They get their shrimp from a local breeder. Great shop and their best Sales Associate, Jeff, just left last week to California for the military. They usually have great stock, but this summer, their shipments have been minimal. ORA keeps sending them horrible frags and a couple months, their new fish supplier was sending them diseased fish that would die during shipment and within days of acclimation.

The good stuff goes really quickely. They've brought in at least half a dozen tusks within the past couple months and had octupus the last two shipments and they sold the same day. If you have a request, let them know and they can get it for you. They always give me a better price because I frequent them often, as I do live in the neighborhood.
 
their fresh water used to be a good selection and of healthy fish and reasonable prices .. i used to get all my freshwater plants and fish from them

but as i started saltwater only recently i have been to them more than a couple of times and their saltwater isnt that great id say .. the fish are not so healthy the rock and tanks arent that clean when ever i have been there .. and well i always see a fish or two dead for sure in their tanks .. but ths is all in last 4 months
