Currently, I get most of my aquarium supplies from either Amazon.com or Aqua Workz here in Sacramento. Anyone from the area have good experiences with any other LFS in the greater Sacramento Area?

Does San Francisco count? Aqua Forrest us good but expensive

JoJos is only place I go for fish. They also have ADA stuff and can order anything you want from Aquaforest and its just the online price so you save on shipping. Other than that unless I buy used stuff its cheaper online.

There's a place I used to go out on Power Inn road, maybe it was Aquaworkz? There was another one downtown near the hospital, but the Power Inn one was my favorite. Oh, one more...there's a feed shop right off the 50 in Cameron Park/Shingle Springs that used to have a pretty great aquarium department. On the right side of the hwy as you head to Tahoe

I have actually heard some good things about JoJos... I will be checking them out soon.

Or Tom's house:tongue:

Well, I have a limited range of things.
But really good prices.

JoJos is my go to
But here are other decent ones:
-Aquarium Depot
-Exotic Aquarium - they have a lot but some times the fish are not that good shape.

Mountain of driftwood, plants, a few odds and ends folks use, some stone.

Jojo is the best in town IMO

Toms if you want cheaper and healthier plants/shrimp/wood. Jojo's is nice since its got a good spread, but they jack the prices up so bad. I wouldn't buy plants there unless I was already there and couldn't wait.

I have a 5lb CO2 tank also, 40$. Need a hydro test so that adds 20$ to the cost afterwards when you take to get refilled. But for 40$.........

 

[sbarbee54]

Plants I would buy from the hobbiest, like tom. but for dry goods and substrate, jojos. You can get ada stuff there... all kinds of good dry goods

My last trip to Exotic Aquarium was very disappointing - most fish tanks were empty, and many fish were not healthy looking. This was 2 weeks ago. It is possible they were just low on stock due to the weekend, but I don't think so.

JoJos at about the same time had a very good selection of very healthy fish, and lots of nice plants. But, of course, at a higher price.
