Hey Derek, I am a senior at UCSB and just setup a reef tank. I think for our SB stores Ocean Floor and Aquatic Gardens downtown are the best. AG is a little cheaper than Ocean Floor. Aquatic Designs on turnpike has some saltwater stuff but the quality isn't as good. They have the cheapest saltmix though. I went down to exotic fish in Gardena last weekend and was a little disappointed. It was a big place, but it didn't have the selection I thought they would. Their website is awesome, lists tons of stuff for pretty good prices, but the actual stuff they have on hand down there is only like a 4th of what they list online. I wanted to get caribbean fish and they didnt have any. They have a bunch of the more common fish though, so if you aren't looking for anything too obscure you should call down there and see if they have what you want. If you check out any of the places south of here towards LA let me know how they are. I might check out the one in camarillo or by LAX next time I go home to LA, so if I do I'll let you know.
djheywood, as a cop in SB might I have seen you at in n out off turnpike? I work there...and I'm sure you know by now but we give police discounts...
