Great store, Great people!

I had a chance to visit their store by the Kenwood Mall yesterday and was amazed at their coral selection and prices.  They have some extremely rare coral and their prices can't be beat.  I picked up a cleaner wrasse for only $10.  Drip acclimated it and dropped it in the display. The fish immediately settled in and wasn't fearful at all.  I have even noticed it cleaning fish already.  I highly recommend anyone to stop by and visit their store!  They also suggested we do a group buy for the club.

Let me tell you this store is worth every minute of the drive. Great staff (Johnny), stock, and prices. I picked up some of the healthiest wrasse from here and am more than please to be continuing. It's was no kidding when Johnny said he had some stunning wrasse. Thanks again buddy.

I have been to ideal multiple times and will continue to keep returning. All my snails, hermits, fish, and a few corals have come from there and I have spent considerably less than what I had originally anticipated. I plan on going back down at some point in the next few weeks to purchase a peppermint shrimp, which is less than $5 there. It is WELL worth the drive to visit

Made the trip down to Ideal today. Stopped over at Steve's house to see his tanks and snagged a couple of nice corals from him. Steve and I ran down to Ideal. Very nice shop and a wide assortment of nice corals, inverts, fish, and drygoods. I finally got to see the Orphek Atlantik Led fixture over a tank. Very nice! Look forward to the next trip. Picked up a nice chalice frag and a favia frag. Thanks Brian and Johnny for the great hospitality and great service! I think the most important thing is servicing the customer and these guys go all out to make sure they answer your questions and help you get what you are looking for. One thing I liked best about Ideal is they will frag a coral for you johnny on the spot! No pun intended.....lol
Great store, great staff!!
