Hello from Los Angeles, CA

Orbela · Mar 25, 2014

I'm new came to this forum in an emergency. I got a lot of great advice and it has worked out for me. I no longer buy my live fish from petco but instead from experts from lfs. Luckily I have 10+ stores in a 5 mile radius. I am currently a student. If you live around the area PM me if you have newbie tips or wish to talk about tank, geckos, and/or football.

Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions you have. We're a friendly community and someone will know the answer. Being in LA you're in a great place to get livestock.

Thank you, you must get envious by living close to the Aquarium of the Pacific. What are great LFS around the area I usually go to LB with family and friend who live out there.

Age of aquariums in signal hill... There's coral obsessions, reef raft, sexy corals, coral gazers, and coral collection when the new shop is ready... All not too far from here...

Wow I saw the websites they look pretty good. I will definitely check them out. After half my fishes dying from in proper cycling I will need to replace our blue tang and chromis. My little niece got attach we can't bring her over anymore until the new cycle finishes.
Alf- are you going to the aquarium convention in Costa Mesa next weekend?
Jason- haha the addiction sucks
Reeding madness- thank you

I'm thinking about going to MAX... I've been going to the last few shows down here... Lots of fun... I know some of the vendors so it's always cool to hang out... A few guys asked me to go in on a hobbyist booth but I don't have enough frags... Maybe next year... Aha
