There are a few others in driving distance from West LA that are generally cheaper, but nowhere near as stocked or as healthy. Worth the extra dollars IMHO. VIvid's propagation efforts (from the 800g mother colony tank) should also be commended, as well as the new QT tanks. Their dry-good selection is not extensive, but getting better. On my last visit I noticed a Warner Marine AS150 skimmer for sale, a Lee Mar tank, as well as a Cardiff and Solana tank. Full line of Reef Nutrition Products as well. Vivid is my LFS of choice.

It was very well worth the drive and I will be visiting back very soon for some corals for my new SPS tank. I live in the North County area closer to Fallbrook.

Great selection of amazing corals and below average prices. And now that they're adding the new fish system, I can't wait to go back. I'm lucky to be only about 40 minutes away. If you're within driving range, this is the only place should go. Hands down this is the best store around. Great

Hopefully I'll be able to make some time to swing by in three weeks for the IMAC West show.

Friend of mine took me on a brief shop tour while I was out in LA last year... you yanks are sure spoiled for choice. I even bought a stunning unknown acro for my friend just because I had to buy something. Great shop – possibly the best one I’ve ever been to.
