It’s OK to be amazed, we know we were. To think how some shops even stay open with stores like Vivid Aquariums to compete with is beyond me. If your not familiar with them we highly suggest you check them out online or at their store front location. If you own a store and have not seen what these guys are doing you should probably get a clue and see the way they run their facility. We stopped by Vivid, a no frills, no magic tricks or potions, just pure product shop earlier in the week but didn’t have the camera. Needles to say we were forced to commute the well worth 2 hour drive from San Diego to Canoga Park a second time just to get some shots of their 800 gallon reef tank. I didn’t have any issues finding knowledgeable people to talk to, all these guys are hobbyists and know their stuff. The incredible dispaly of chalices, amazing assortment of zoanthids, ricordia and aussie acans not to mention the insane Scolys and Cynarinas. The unreal amount of vividly colored SPS corals all priced within reason. If you had been to Vivid before and thought all they had was just great coral you may want to check back again real soon. Vivid has just put in an entirely new fish system and is working on a third row for even more coral!
