Thanks! This is great!

MMM southbay looks empty... there's some missing shops I'm pretty sure.

Love the new layout.

Was going to say... there's a gap in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale... would be a good location.

Isnt there a store in sunnyvale?

Lol, typical of the forums now a days.

Here is the one I use : Here

Be sure to double check the places as I am not sure how updated that is for some areas. Good Luck!

I updated the link but that site will be down soon. Besides, we didn't really keep that list updated so like Dan said, I would phone in first just to be sure. Also, some operating hours tend to change depending on the time of the year.

Please update the first post with the correct link!

 

[denzil]

The page no longer exists so I just un-linked it.

 

[bondolo]

I have corrected the link.

Hi, i didn't see:

Keith’s Coral Reefs
457 B Park Ave
San Jose, CA 95110

My little contribution

 

[bondolo]

I normally only add stores that I have personally visited to ensure that they are "non-sleazy" places. If I do visit Keith's and/or get sufficient positive reports I will add it. I want to keep the map high quality and only include "worth your time" places.

You might notice that a few stores which have been around for a long time aren't listed. (most commonly mentioned is a certain store in San Francisco which does "bag sales" of fish).

 

[SLGBlue]

I'll admit it. I found the BAR Local Businesses Page difficult to use because I don't really know my Bay Area geography that well. (Shameful but true for someone who's lived here 16 years and been coming for more than 20).

So I made a map of the LFS and fish businesses that I've visited on Google Maps and invite others to use it and add places they shop at and/or think are worth visiting.

Google Map of Bay Area LFS

I have specifically included closed businesses (making sure to give them a red place marker and adding an appropriate description). Right now the map allows anyone logged in to google to edit the map. If that turns out to generate spam I will switch back to invited collaborators only.

Hopefully useful to others. I'm eager to find out about places nearby where I already go that I've not known about.

The California Reef Company Co. seem to have a new weblink www.careefco.com/

Sanne

Rather sad that the red "closed" ones seem to outnumber the current stores these days.
Rough business.

 

[ThRoewer]

The map is quite a bit out of date:

Seascapes Fish & Pets Inc. closed in 2015

Baja Reef closed end of 2015

California Reef Co. moved. New location: 37420 Cedar Blvd Suite A, Newark, CA 94560

 

[bondolo]

I will make this updates. Thank you!

 

[bondolo]

Updates completed. I also made a few other changes suggested by reef central users. Additional updates welcome. If someone is interested in volunteering to do updates I would be happy to offer edit privileges. I had to disable "community" edits a couple of years ago because of repeated vandalism. Google Maps provides no tools to roll-back vandalism except to download the data as a backup.

 

[rygh]

Just a thought : Can you highlight sponsors in some way?

 

[bondolo]

Yes. If someone can PM the current sponsors I will give them special icons.
