I heard that a couple of guys from Aquarium Adventure left to start their own place. If this store belongs to them, they know their stuff.

DEXTER SOLIS · 08/28/2007, 08:57 PM

Aquarium Adventure has the talent for losing talent, they have a great store, good layout, but good staff that cares try to the right thing to take care of customers & livestock left for oone reason or another. smells like missmanagement, plus they are known for outrageous prices on regular items, I could understand if they caried hard t find, rare or Ultra grade animals, but they dont....weird.

It just closed for good last week. 8-23-07.

billsreef · 09/01/2007, 10:23 PM

Which one? There are several wholesalers on that street.

132 Marine st., Farmingdale. I bought about 80lbs of live rock and 4 rocks with Mushrooms and Zoo's on them. I'm trying to nurse them back to life. There were slim pickens left. He had only a 20g tank left with some frags. Everything else was gone except for lighting and tanks. He offered me a 72g bow with stand for free but I did not have room for it.

He was practically giving things away. He had a 500g acrylic frag tank that he want $400 for. I found out about it through an ad on craigslist. He should of posted it here and he would of had a better turn out. It was interesting to see some of the prices for livestock that he had written on the tanks. The markup of some of the retailers are incredible. I guess they have to in order to stay in business.

I just came from Suffolk Co Fish and Reef; very impressive, clean and the help was very nice.

Worth the trip; I picked up a six line to replace mine that jumped. $10 cheaper than everywhere in nassau.

Awsome fish selection, and coral tanks.

I'm looking for a Six Line. How much was it and did they have more?

jgiordano · 09/02/2007, 03:21 PM

$19 was the price; I think they had 3 more. They really had an awsome selection.

Hogs · 09/02/2007, 03:33 PM

Not a bad price. Did you check out their web site. You can be added to their mailing list and every once in a while they will email you specials.

Thanks

Hogs · 09/06/2007, 11:22 AM

I just wanted everyone to know Suffolk County Fish & Reef has a members mailing list on there website. If you join up on line, you will be entitled to a 10% discount. They will be mailing cards out shorty. I bought a Six Line yesterday and they had me in their computer already and I received my 10% off. My $19 fish came out to less than $19 with discount and tax.

I saw them there. Great price. I got a Long Nose Hawk for $20 on Saturday. Less than half of what a competitor wanted. He wasn't eating on Friday so I went bad on Saturday and he was eating good.

reefly · 09/29/2007, 10:59 AM

I just picked up a couple of nice corals at Pets Warehouse.

They have a lot to pick from.

Aquarium Design Network-

Is this store worth visiting, about 30 minute drive for me. In my search for a crocea clam i was told that they have a bunch in stock.

Thanks for the reply,
Steven

bigsink · 02/26/2008, 02:14 PM

Was there last Wednesday, no crocea (maybe 1)
