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

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.

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!

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 amazing! I love simple and clean reefing!

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!

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 :)

Amazingly gorgeous, simple setup’s!

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

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.

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

When it comes to reefing all videos are special.

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...

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

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

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:).

One of my fav stores when I travel south of LA

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

Very nice store, Very family oriented

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

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!

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!

Some absolutely gorgeus tanks!!!

Righteous. Keep up the fantastic work, Ali!

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

Congratulations for the store. Amazing place

awesome show room, great video, much appreciation to both

Amazing! Breathtaking! Remarkable! Period.

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

Really nice shop and inspiring

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

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

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.

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.

Wow.... so beautiful n colourful

My favorite reef store. I love the spirit

Super nice reef store 👍

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

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

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

相当好きなんだろうな！！

will have to come all the way from South Africa!

Love Love !!!

Wow amazing LFS eye candy overload

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

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

Absolutely beautiful store. WOW....

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

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

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

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

absolutely piece of art

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😳

great timing, new video, thanks...!

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

Good vibes - chillin with the homie

This store is more of an art gallery!

What an awesome shop 😎

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!

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

Sick af opening! Keep it up!

Beautiful tanks! Love your video, I subbed 😁

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

that intro was sick

One of your best videos , impressive guy

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

I like the new intro

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

The aquascape is so pleasing to the eyes and balanced

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

Love from India

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

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

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

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.

Dude, I love your videos

that blue hippo tang is crazy!lol

My favorite local store. Ali is awesome.

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 😀

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

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...

This is a great Video, Remy bring him to the podcast

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

The tank at 8:10 is gorgeous!

guy seems pretty chill

Super cool place

Nice work Ali! 👌🏽

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

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..

we need another amazing aquariums and reefs video.

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.

Love that Old school T5 MH HPS !! Something LED Cant Do !!!

Very cool store.

Great video
