Huge place, Way to expensive, quality of corals isn't great and selection is poor. The frags are considered colonies ($90 and up), the 3" colonies are considered large colonies ($150 and up) and the large colonies are considered Platinum and you pay for it The layout is great if you want to walk around for a while staring at stuff but not worth the trip IMO.

I give it a 3 out of 10

If we had to pay these prices, reefing would not be affordable.

DITTO!!! this place is huge, i take my 3yr old some there almost every weekend (i live 10 minutes away) just to look around it's great for browseing, but i wouldnt buy a single thing there. Their corals and inverts are pitiful and the sales people are even worse, they dont even know what the corals are, yet they readily sell them to the unsuspecting customer. dry goods too are WAY over priced, $14/lb for live rock with no life, ya right!!

Dont do it

If u are new to the hobby stay far far away from this place. This is everything that could possibly be wrong with a LFS. The highest prices Ive ever seen and poor poor quality specimens. I pray for the sake of the hobby they go out of business shortly, dont even think of shopping here.

You guys are going a little too hard on this place. Remember, buyer beware for sure, but. They had a sale, I picked up a sweet Zooanthid. Fist sized Yellow/Green for 40.00. A wild looking Black/White Blenny with some German name for 35.00.
They are open weekdays until 9.00 pm, sundays I think till 5. So there is something worthwhile thier. It is also a pretty nice showroom.

It is a great place to look only. Nice freshwater showroom display tanks. Their S/W prices are above average. Never looked at their F/W prices.
