I go to Ultimate aquarium in San Mateo, New alameda aquatics in Alameda, the lucky goldfish in Alameda, and Atlantis aquarium has some really nice things, but they are waaay overpriced. Most of my zoos are from a guy I met around your area... I think he lives in Santa Rosa.

Another new place that I spend a lot of time at is called Aquarium Concepts. It's out in Dublin right by Target. Family owned but its huge and they have a large selection of fresh and salt water supplies, corals, fish, ect. Everyone there is really friendly and helpful.

I haven't been to the new one yet, but I used to go there all the time when they were in Hayward.

Im sure the gorgonian will eventually out grow a 14g, but it will take a long time to grow that big. If it ever does you could always frag it.

i like the way it moves water around. I may plan to use mine, but i will double or triple the flow to compensate for it. When i tested, i put it on and took it off and it took at least half the power of the flow away when it was on. oh well.
