going to San Diego?

If you're going to be in San Diego and are looking for a retail store, check out aquaSD. Will has a small shop, but some of the most beautiful corals I've ever seen. http://aquasd.com/

Here's a list of ones in Socal

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1905129

My two favorite in Socal would have to be Age of Aquariums in Long Beach and Amazing Reefs in Orange.
