Looking for SPS frags near LA

leeransetton · Feb 19, 2018

Hi,

My name is Leeran, from Santa Monica. I only have 1 sps frag in my tank, so I'm open for almost everything. Preferably fast growing good colored sps corals.

Thanks!

Might want to check out Vivid Aquariums.

You're the second one to recommend them. Aren't stores more expensive than hobbyists? I'm kinda new here, so I guess that might sound like a weird question..

I can say that Mr. V is an amazing dealer! I will always buy my acros from him in the future. The pictures and colors are spot on and everything is doing well in my tank.

Most stores are staffed by hobbyists - just ones that happen to get to work their passion. As far as cost; yes - new is more expensive than used. But you also generally get more informed information and opinions from people who work in a store as they deal with it all day long. Which is not to say that hobbyists can't also have informed info & opinions (e.g.; R2R is awesome! <grin>).

I guess my point is that every resource you can connect with is helpful.

Mr V - You coral collection looks sick! I'm definitely going to pay you a visit once I see some cheaper corals thrive in my tank (wouldn't want to spend 200-250 dollars on beautiful corals only to collect white skeletons a week later). I'll let my aquarium get more mature, and then it'll be ready for your quality.

DLHDesign - I agree on that. I bought some of my rocks from Vivid, and they were very friendly.

Thanks all!
