Biggs Lagoon, located at 6050 Firestone Blvd #205, Firestone, CO 80504, remains much the same, a good thing to be sure. Most of the stocking seemed the same to me as well. I do like how they have their displays set up for easy viewing. The lighting however, continues to be a challenge for any photographer. The blue spectrum is stronger than I have seen in any other LFS. Bordering on ultra-violet! The pictures below don’t do justice to seeing them in person even with an orange filter in place on my camera. Forgive me for keeping this blog short. One thing did surprise me with the Memorial Day sale going on and such, the place was empty when I arrived around 10 minutes after opening. A half hour later it did pick up, which is how I remember the store. Most of the time on weekends and holidays they are busy.
As with most of the Saltwater only LFS, their main business is with installation and maintenance. While they do have pretty fish, they are obviously coral focused. The invert rack was looking good with starfish, shrimp and snails galore. It seemed to me they had more product on the shelves than in the past. Frankly, the store looked great, it is clean, well-stocked, and ready for business! This LFS ranks somewhere in the upper half of saltwater LFS for me, though certainly not at the top.
