Nothing against these people, but I must say that dealing with this store was by far the worst experience I have had with a fish store since starting the hobby five years ago. While the fish store is clean and well stocked and the staff do seem to be knowledgable, you come to find that once you really start doing research on the internet and various reading materials that most of the time they are just trying to make a buck (a lot of them). This place is so over priced, I.E $20.00 dollars for garlic, when you can go to most any other store in orange county and get for $10.00 to $12.00. As well as a thermometer for $50.00 when i have seen them for $30.00 elsewhere. And it is not just the dry goods either, there coral and invert prices will make you sick to your stomach if you have done some shopping at other establishments, for instance the clams they have there are litterally 1" and priced at no less than $50.00. I purchased a teardrop Maxima at Eye Candy Aquariums on Beach Blvd. for only $30.00 and it was five times larger than the ones at pacific reef. And the final straw was when I decided to not listen to my gut and buy an aquarium from them,and what happened was the truck broke down during delivery, but i was not told this until i drove down there in rush hour traffic to pick it up only to have him tell me when i got there that it was not even there. He had my phone number and did not even call me to save me the trip. And on top of all this the next buisness day I have to call him and ask if the aquarium arrived, it had but what he had ordered was wrong. So i had to drive to the wearhouse to pick it up, he did not even offer to make it right by going to the wearhouse himself, all he cared about was that he got his money and did not want to have anything to do with me after. Bottom line save yourself and your wallet some pain and go to another fish store, there are plenty of good ones around.
