Ellis Aquatics

Been coming here since I started reefing. They carry a lot of everything and are very knowledgeable. Always a pleasure to stop by and enjoy the new arrivals. Jason and Jose are always available to answer any questions through phone or text. 100% recommend

their berghia are expensive but absolutely worth it. cheaper than shipping them and they’re super healthy. check out these two sharing an aiptasia donut. grab an acclimation box (also at ellis) and drop them in with a few aiptasia and hiding places to get started. keep the lid closed. the parents and eggs will be protected from predators (even amphipods eat nudi eggs), the babies will float out and start colonizing. oh and the rest of the store is also perfect

Best place to shop live salt water fishes with very enriched stocks and fairly cheapest prices I have ever seen in a LFS. We drove 6.5h from San Francisco to LA to visit and pick up our orders. Their stocks have very high turn over rate, so better call the owners to place an order and reserve the items you are interested in :)

i purchased a blue/ green chromis from this fish store about a year and a half ago and my aquarium still hasn’t recovered from it. when i put the single fish into my tank, after about a week i noticed white spots in all my fish (ich; the worst case scenario) . i soon quarantined them all with copper and they all died. when i brought this issue up to other fish stores they pointed out that this fish store had a reputation for selling infected/ unchecked & un quarantined fish. if you want to have a successful reef tank avoid this shop at all costs. if i could give 0 stars i would this store has ruined the hobby as a whole for me.

Great Quality Stock! Very helpful and willing to provide advice which in this hobby is always a must. Prices are also some of the best.
