Well after my 8 LFS tour of San diego I can honestly say I am very supprised at how crappy there selection and quality of corals are compared to what is available to us up here.
I must say that I was Very impressed with a couple of the stores layouts and size, and that for softies, LPS and fish they are very impressive but as far as SPS goes I was dissapointed.
as for dry goods, the only MH bulbs sold in san diego are hamilton and iwasaki it seams and when I asked about AB and Ushio they said you have to to go LA for the high quality bulbs.
I did get a cood deal on a retrofit coralife PC set up for the 25 gal that was on clearance.
now on the other hand I did get about 1000.00cdn worth of acrylic tubing
