Anybody been out to the shark reef lately? Thought about calling and seeing when they got their last shipment in.
Thanks!

Eric is a very nice guy and good to work with. I'll probably head down there tomorrow just to see what they have.

BTW he also has an importer license so can order or get anything you want. In fact I think he gets in corals and fish for many of the local LFS.

He had a decent selection of corals considering the pandemic and all. I even saw some maricultured SPS colonies.
Actually come to think of it he had more corals than fish LOL There wasn't much of a selection for fish from what I saw.

If you're looking for something specific it might be worth a call ahead to see what he has and if he can hold it for you.

Living in Port Angeles, Shark Reef is the closest real LFS for me. About 1h 30m away, but such is life way out here on the Peninsula. Barrier Reef is almost twice that drive, though I did go all the way to Renton to get some good Marco Shelf Rock for my build after nearly all of the shelf pieces I got from BRS and AquaCave were not what I was looking for.

Stopped in a couple times and met Eric and Max at The Shark Reef. Will definitely be my preferred spot in trying to get what I'm looking for.

Noticed the same in that coral selection looked good, fish selection (at least for my small RSR 200XL) was limited. Hoping he can order in some of the species I'd like to have. Online ordering is less than ideal because of the DOA risk as well as the shipping costs. I'd rather spend the money on fuel and enjoy a day out while supporting the "local" FS.
