Oceanic Corals - kinda far if you live dt area. Paul over there is really nice, really helpful, really really good prices and really quality stuff. And he will sit there and talk to you about stuff and give you advice whereas JL doesn't really do that on anything outside their livestock.
Ocean aquatics - kinda far if you live in dt area. Wendell there is really really knowledgeable. So much that I went out of my way to get a return pump and my tunze's from him. Smart guy too. knows his hardware stuff.
Big Als and Aquarium West both dont seem to focus on SW so they werent as knowledgeable as I wanted them to be. I dont buy much from them.

JL is still my fav. Best price(they do price match) and healthy staff. I think her name is Rene. Derek at JL are pretty good too.
their cleaner shrimp are only $15 no matter the size, I went to aquarium west and saw they are selling a jumbo cleaner shrimp for $40, huge price differences.
