Local Resources- San Diego

[dvflyer]

Hi all,
Looking to get into the hobby. Ideally, I will be getting a 100+ gallon FOWLR tank.
Along with forums like this, I'd like to have some local resources. I thought I'd ask here if anyone from San Diego could recommend stores, people etc (north county preferred). Someone on another forum mentioned Fountains, but they are in La Mesa which is a bit of a hike for me.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Thanks dude (or dudette).
Poway is that little cow-town, right? Kidding. I'm very familiar with Poway.
My tank plans have basically dissolved like sea salt. With the addition of another child, I realized I do not have the time needed to dedicate to a tank. I looked into professional tank services and could not bring myself to spending the money.
You never know though. Maybe some day. The idea of having a nice tank is very appealing to me. Perhaps it'll be something to do with the kids when they get older.
Thanks again.
