by far my favorite reefing video on youtube. rewatch all the time

I stumbled into this place and this guy was super nice and helpful- I bought a chunk of chaeto. So cool to see him on Reef Builders.

Absolutely gorgeous place

I have been to this store a few times when traveling to southern California. It is truely an amazing place.

Such a bright place and so breathable. I like so much the white stands ,so much better than black and the wide open shallow tanks. Beautiful corals ,it is so simple but always simple is the best form of complexity. All tanks have a good consistency of corals ,just right not overwhelmingly busy, Ali he is so special,he’s got the touch.

Just found this video through your ReefTherapy podcast. Wow, what a gorgeous place. Amazing tanks. Great tips. Keep it simple. Easier said than done but good advice.

My all time favorite shop in SoCal. Every display is gorgeous, corals are so healthy. Love the unique collection of fish too. Ali is the man!

Thanks Jake for bringing such a beautiful store...what i like about Ali’s approach is he has his displays to prove his art of reefing...awesome displays man...and a great work in photography....touch of the video is at the very end he appreciated you being there for him 10 yrs ago and how you hugged him...may the friendship prevails and if you talk to him again Jake please pass on my SALAAM O ALAIQUM....meaning my good wishes with peace...

Great work Jake, you have the most entertaining and superior channel regarding marine reef aquariums. I never get bored of watching your videos.

Jake, you keep bringing great stores. Especially ones that are not close to lot of people. So we see how other LFS set up they stores. Keep them coming....

Such a cool store!

such sweet and awesome store, really good pieces of advice given too keep it simple, less live rock etc

That guy has a great mind set for this. Great shop and sweet tanks!

Wow! Stunning livestock,not overstocked with dry goods with a friendly,relaxed way of selling. if only all aquatic shops were like this! Seems like a top bloke aswell. Good luck for next 10 years :)

What a place!!! LFS like that I would definitely support, great stuff.

I'm going soon..just an hour drive :)...but you truly do have to appreciate this kind of dedication. This is what it's all about and I'm just glad the hobby is staying strong. I hope to learn alot and make my living room the same:).

Epic! I have been looking forward to this video for a long time. Ali is the man, has the best store in Southern California, and he is beyond helpful. What more could you ask for!

Just amazing! I love simple and clean reefing!

When it comes to reefing all videos are special.

Just watched this videa again, amazing place and I'm only 15-20 mins away, definitely going this weekend

One of my fav stores when I travel south of LA

What a cool guy and his tanks are stunningly beautiful,great advice keep it simple and don't pack your tank with corals love the green branch corals in the big tank,he's Old school fish keeper...

Simple...Effective...I need to meet this guy🤗

This guy/place is my vibe. Wish I lived closer to visit. Thanks for the sweet video.

nice tanks man. Me and my buddies love to break laws. Many tangs in one tank. Too many corals who fight. This way we LEARN. One day this will grant us the ultimate REEF. Through test and study. Love it man. Love your 10 years. Best of luck!

Amazingly gorgeous, simple setup’s!

Looking forward to being a customer again when I get back into this hobby soon. Loved the melanopus (cinnamon) clown pair. Ali special ordered me a pair way back probably around 2012. Unfortunately they got a fungus that took them out. Great video and amazing reefs!

setting the mantra of how all fish shops should be paired with an owner who is focus and knows what he wants. i can't say more. awesome video too, probably watched this video more than 5 times since it was published.

Please keep the halides! They are great!!! Radiums and ATI Blue Plus are the very best you can offer to your systems! Great video!

Que gusto saber que además de ser uno de los mejores parrilleros, también te gustan los acuarios felicidades broo, soy doble fan de usted viva México.

Esos tanques son increíbles, y realmente sí se ven con un estilo más natural

Very nice store, Very family oriented

Congratulations for the store. Amazing place

Great tour & awesome store. Your friend Ali has a great approach to this hobby..

wish i could seat in that white coach and just admire those beautiful setups

Love that first system with the green slimer sps everywhere!!

My favorite aquarium is still that 2 gallon on the desk with the rock flower anemones and the domino damsel.

awesome show room, great video, much appreciation to both

Thank you for this awsome video! Absolutely stunning, very big fan of your work.

Amazing! Breathtaking! Remarkable! Period.

My favorite reef store. I love the spirit

Righteous. Keep up the fantastic work, Ali!

Some absolutely gorgeus tanks!!!

That's my dream! Not worried about the money...just sharing the hobby. Absolutely wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

I really really like his "keep it simple" approch!

The aquascape is so pleasing to the eyes and balanced

相当好きなんだろうな！！

Ali's the man !! You can tell he's in it for passion. I love his simpler approach. That tank without a sand bed is a killer 👍🏻👍🏻 P.s. OMG that $ clownfish is just stunning😳

This man's Aquascaping skills are top notch .. Thakashi amano of reef world

Love his place, I'm in LA. I wonder how long it would take to head down and visit his place?!

I've been out of the hobby for decades now. One thing I'm noticing that I didn't see in that day is the open topped aquariums. I was used to an enclosing plate with a fluorescent tube on top.

WAHOU WHAOU, magnifique tout ça !!! 👍👍👍

you hid this JEM well ,beautiful store, lots of unique livestock

I worked up the street from this store off Batavia, worked early hours. Store was never open by the time I was off at 2 PM. I’m sure he saw me on security camera peering through the window a few times. All makes sense now. These are his display tanks.

SOLOMON ISLAND TRUE PERCULA!!! Awesome to know other people have them in their reef. 😊

My Next Trip to Cali- I am visiting this store!!!

Would like to see more of that tank with the mangroves.. always wanted to do a tank like that. But not sure if the roots with impact the tank..

This video makes me think that salt water might be easier then it seems great video

This store is more of an art gallery!

That's my local store, love going every time.👌👍👍

absolutely piece of art

Looks like a LIVING ROOM with REEF TANKS 💦 REEF-TASTIC 😎

Really nice shop and inspiring

Wow.... so beautiful n colourful

guy seems pretty chill

Beautiful place could move in their,lol he is a minimalist ,old school nice and his tanks are all so clean, does he do water changes? Man my sand bed and glass gets brown in 2 days always seem to be cleaning it. Great video look forward to more...

we need another amazing aquariums and reefs video.

Ali is the man. I believe hes from the bay too:) We will be in LA in August and will definitely come see his place and pick up some of his cool corals. I love those huge zoas!

One of the best uploads on you tube. Dream of a place :)

Whenever I go here it has to be close to closing time or I’ll sit there for hours on end. My fav place to be in Orange County.

Great vid. We need more lfs like this everywhere. What was the last coral with purple tips?

Looks like a great place to visit. I really like his approach to keeping only a handful of species in a tank but letting them develop into impressive colonies. Plus it's nice to see tanks that are lit with a bit more natural color of light. I do wonder if a place like that can actually generate any significant income for him. You guys kind of hint at that he's not in it for the money. I'm guessing this fish store is actually just his fish room with a bit of sales to help support it. Nothing wrong with that, but it would explain why most LFS's can't do it the same way.

Your display inspired me to consider rescaping my tank to few simple big corals n fish.

great timing, new video, thanks...!

The tank at 8:10 is gorgeous!

My favorite local store. Ali is awesome.

Agree, T5"s are a Must along w LED'S.

Great Video super cool guy has good knowledge to share with new customers like myself.

i love those big colonies but ive gone with the frags and patience method

Awesome video again! Does he pay much attention to levels like nitrate and phosphate ? Has a very care free approach

Watching again this video , so amazing . Ali , how do you calculate the number of the fishes , to run your tanks without carbon and anti phosphates reactor ? I think my next tank will be set up like yours 😀

Love that Staghorn tank, beautiful! Any idea how tall that tank is? I like that its sort of shallow.

that blue hippo tang is crazy!lol

Absolutely beautiful store. WOW....

Wow amazing LFS eye candy overload

Super nice reef store 👍

Beautiful! Such a stunning shop and amazing corals😁 What type of music do you use for the intros? Really digging it.

will have to come all the way from South Africa!

i just love Ali's open, island feeling style it's something i would love to try to create someday!great store;)

Love the shop. Thumbs up from me. Thank you.

So crazy !!!! I wish we had this kind of shop in France ! By the way, what's the intro music please ?

that intro was sick

Wow... Where to start. Super, super impressive. Wish I had an LFS like that near me!... Great job showcasing it Jake. The highlight of this video (as amazing as everything was) is Alf sitting next to Ali at the end.... and the fact that it was never addressed in the video. Hilarious.

Such an amazing fish store! Could you please tell me what kind of MH bulbs are used solely over the tanks?

Did Ali mention his water change schedule? I always admire these super simplistic setups and the tanks are so successful

很漂亮的海缸

I like it when he pinch your face ~ so cute ~ what a good couple hahahahhaahah

Love Love !!!

Good vibes - chillin with the homie

Super cool place
