LFS: AquaSD in San Diego, CA

Rating: 3 votes, 5.00 average.
During my trip to sunny California last week, my first stop was AquaSD. I've followed their online postings for a while, but had never gotten inside the store. Until now.

7580 Clairemont Mesa Blvd San Diego, CA 92111
(858) 565-1910

The store has room to explore the many troughs filled with corals, and there were lots of different fish to select from as well. The best part to me was that the prices seemed very fair, rather than the outrageous numbers I've seen in recent years. A nice acan frag with at least four polyps was $35, for example.

In addition, dry goods included all the standard stuff we seek. And if you aren't able to visit the store, they are now selling corals on Ebay. With that said, here are my pictures. For the tanks washed in blue, I tried to soak up some of the excess via Photoshop...

Definitely a store with visiting. You'd be hard pressed to walk out without making a purchase.

    That's always the goal. I'm always glad to meet up with other hobbyists and hope as they pick my brain they can take away some useful nuggets to help their reefs thrive.
