So I was watching the local news last night and they had a short segment on this new LFS. The main attraction is a 5,000 Gallon black tip reef shark display with 3 sharks and an eel (if only I had $100K to spare!).

I had some free time to check it out today and I did. I was very impressed to say the least. The tanks are clean, the fish are in perfect health, and there wasn't a single aiptasia to be found! The prices are very good as well. My only complaint is that they could definitely have a better selection of corals. They do have a lot of rare fish though.

I wasn't going to buy anything but you know how that goes. I saw a tank where they had 3 helfrichi firefish. They were only $100 each so I had to buy one. I have 2 now and they get along really well. They are much more social together than I thought they would be (I'll post pics later). Anyways if you're in the sacramento area I strongly suggest you check it out!

Well if it's a new store, it might take them a while to get a good coral supplier with prices that they like.

Sounds like a nice place though!

So they finally got the shark tank up huh? I was in there a month or so ago and the tank looked far from being finished. I was impressed with the size though. :)

They don't have any aiptasia yet because they just opened, give them six months and they'll have as many as every other LFS!
