This OG in Local Fish Stores Shares Their Secret to Fish and Planted Tanks

In this video, I had the wonderful pleasure to visit the wonderful shop of Ocean Aquarium, in San Francisco, CA. This shop is located in a small and quiet one way street in San Francisco, with a paid garage lot just across the street.
I absolutely adored this local mom pop fish store, and happy to see its tanks full and thriving, to see a mom and pop shop of fish is a rare sight - and incredibly nice people. Operated by Jason and his wife Ari, they take pride in their work and have been operating for more than 35 years, and through the major Earthquake that ran through a lot of San Francisco.
Jason explained to me how he balances his c02 in each of his tanks, and explains to me how his acclimation cup works and why it's so important to acclimate new fish store purchases to your home aquarium.
For those living in the San Francisco Area and passing through, STOP HERE, its an amazing sight to see if you love that, "Experienced True hearted Hobbiest turned into a business that cares" feel.

Nice to see his store still running till now. His is no water change, deep gravels, alot of plants. You can see all his fishs are very healthy. This man is a good idea to ask him any question that you don't know or unsure. I think he know more than anyone of us.

That guy IS a god, even if you mess up with the Ph. His knowledge and creativity are unsurpassed. Totally amazing. Wish I could pick his mind for weeks.

I used to live in SF and went to Justin's store every week. He and his family are so wonderful. I watch any video done about his store.

In my mind, this is what a Studio Ghibli aquarium store would look like.

The upside-down drink bottles are used to dispense CO2 in the aquarium.

[@XShadoWPaws]

His CO2 diffusers are absolute genius, I'm so copying it for my tank.

[@MissChelle]

What a clever man!🇦🇺❤️

wow i like this store simply and yet very nice set up I watch justin who interview by aqua-coop.

[@ThisIzMadness]

Would you advise running no water change aquariums like Justin does or is something that is really unique to his shop and location?

[@meghancass3187]

Those are passive CO2 containers. The drink bottles that is.He let's in CO2 via a hose and it dissolves naturally into the water. It's a low budget effective way to do it.

Neat place but did I just see a 20 gallon tank balanced on a 5 gallon bucket which is stacked on top of another 5 gallon bucket?
