El Camaron November 23, 2009 Share November 23, 2009 is definitely one of the best if not the best around here, always have nice corals and healthy fish and always super friendly to the customers, they seem to be in the process of setting up a few nice frag tubs to cater to the reefing community, personally i cant wait to see how it turns out. Great store at great prices for sure. Thanks A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcjm November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 Are we talking about the store off 355? Are you serious? Coral selections and price are so poor comparing to F&F and BRK. They want $25/polyp for purple death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Camaron November 24, 2009 Author Share November 24, 2009 your confusing it with the one in Congressional plaza, that one is over prized and coral selection is poor. If you have not been to A1 i sudgest you take a look, prefferably once they are done with their upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcjm November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 I am talking about the one at the intersection of 355 and 28. This is their online store http://www.kingofcorals.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Camaron November 24, 2009 Author Share November 24, 2009 yeah they are also kingofcorals, i dont know about 25 bucks a pollyp, maybe they misprised it. Either way if you wanted them you could have talked to them, they do honor wamas discount and you probably did not see the corals in the back. Anyways, they are a great store with great corals, fish and good prices in my honest opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even bother looking at the corals when I stopped in once and I saw several dead fish lying in the tanks. I was the only one in the store at the time and the person there didn't seem interested in taking care of the tank. Hopefully they are getting better.

I went on the website and saw a 3+ frag for 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just described what happened when I was there 3 weeks ago. I did bought a pistol shrimp and goby there for a total of $50. F&F is selling the same thing for $30.

angel not fish November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 Well, maybe in VA, you guys are more luck, but here in the area, is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 I've had great luck there. Fish are very healthy and there is usually an interesting selection of coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhcorals November 26, 2009 Share November 26, 2009 (edited) I went to the store back when they first started King of Corals. They had a nice selection in the back. I wanted to buy a few corals from them and they told me i had to order it on line. I was not real happy with them, considering i was in the store and wanted to purchase corals and they would not sale to me. I wont go back to the store or order anything on line from them.

gtipower November 26, 2009 Share November 26, 2009 (edited) I don't think that is true. I went on the website and saw a 3+ frag for 45. Yeh I just saw that, but maybe they had gotten the pieces from different sources. Hence the different pricing. But also, they were probably banking on the high percentage that the person that will buy it from the website will need it shipped and pay the shipping, which gets them some extra bucks (unless they order enough for the free shipping of course). Usually in-store pricing should be higher since customers get to look at it in person, and deservedly so I might add. I will gladly pay more to be able to pick exactly which frag I want and see it in person. But maybe someone can answer this, if they are called Aquarium One, why is their website name King of Corals?

Hilary November 27, 2009 Share November 27, 2009 King of Corals is treated as a separate business, with separate inventory tracking. I've found things I liked in the back a couple of times, and they lent me a laptop to I could make the purchase and pickup while there. No problems at all.

Nate November 28, 2009 Share November 28, 2009 (edited) Was just in Aquarium One today and I have to say things are looking promising. They had (3) 120 Gallon tubs setup. Here is a picture as of today. Edited November 28, 2009 by Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
