HV1990 · 07/23/2010, 10:00 AM

So I happened to ask my wonderful wife if we could go to some LFS down in San fran and on the way to SF and she said yah it would be fun. I thought it was a trick but no she wanted to go. So I reach out to you guys for the MUST hit stores and the possible "hey can you see if they have ______". Let me know

Hugo, if you are just going to the City check out

Aquatic Central
1963 Ocean Ave.
San Francisco, CA. 94127

If you go through Hayward on your way to or from check out:

Aquatic Collection
1212 West Winton Ave.
Hayward, CA 94545

Of course there is Neptune down in Milpitas as well that is arguably the best in the entire Bay Area.

You can also check on the Greater S.F. page here for the list of fish stores.

Good Luck.

If you guys missed any pieces or want me to keep an eye out let me know.

So just got back from my trip to SF. SF was kinda a let down since I found NO sps corals and very few softy's. Mainly fish. I guess 2 stores shut down and a few reefers got out so everything was picked clean.

Then we went to Neptune down in Milpitas. WOW WOW WOW WOW. So I was worried that I would spend to much so I stuck with the 9.99 frags then I look over and the wife was at the higher end items. She picked up a dendro and a ghonaporia (I am sure I miss spelled that). I picked up about 5 pieces and so did she. They are getting dipped acclimated at the moment and will be dipped soon. WOW I cant believe my luck there. The service was A+. Robert was so cool and the rest of the people there were very helpfull and even stayed open an extra half hour to help me out.

To backinthegame and Jose they said they remembered you and were glad you recommended them. I will post pics when I get a chance. Once again thanx for the recommendation.

I'm not surprised you scored at Neptune. Their coral and prices can't be beat.

The trick is to go there first. While you still have plenty of cash.

Hey Hugo! Good to see you found that little treasure trove called Neptune Aquatics! It kills me when the wife is into it just as much as we are. (one day mine will get on board)
Take care!
