Hopefully new blood. If it’s a new version of the last few stores it’ll be a shame.

I hope it's better then the other ones. I mean he did good and put up some nice vinyl on the ourside

That's a good place to be!

If the owners read this, it would be nice to give your hours of operation on the phone message. Save you some call backs, etc.

I stopped by earlier today. Nice little store. They've only been open a couple of days. Stock looks good. Friendly people.
I ordered a fish that should be here tomorrow. I'll report back later...
Time to set up QT!!

MarAquatic · 01/02/2020, 05:07 PM

Just visited, they are open 11-7 everyday. They are going to try and do saltwater shipments on Fridays and will be glad to place special orders.

Small Coral section in the back where there is also a tank of Real Reef live rock and of course dry rock. Most of there equipment is geared towards freshwater but I'm sure they would special order anything that is available to them.

Sounds encouraging. I wish them well and will visit soon. Thanks for the report MarAquatic.

Talked with their manager he was really cool and hopefully will order me a pyramid butterfly

I ordered a Purple Tang but it did not come with the rest of the order. To be fair, this was a VERY last minute order so I wasn't surprised it didn't come in.
The owner, Raf, called me a couple of days later. He had found two more tangs at another supplier.
So I now have a healthy Purple Tang in my QT system!
I consider this wonderful service and I got the fish at a good price.

That's awesome. I ordered a pyramid butterfly but their supplier didnt have any

Thanks for relaying your positive experience John.

Heads up, they now carry frozen foods Hikari and Rods.

They are also trying to expand to have some more coral tanks.

Good they need more coral. Main reason why I haven't been there in 3 weeks was lack of coral

I practically live there...lol. Great fish and service. Staff is excellent. Raff is great at finding special fish or corals if you want them. I also have freshwater tank and he has a great selection of fresh fish. I am so glad that they opened up, and just down the street from me! :-)

Store hours are 10am - 6pm

paul17 · 04/05/2020, 04:17 PM

I just stopped in today they have some nice frags and fish
the store could use a good cleaning though but then again I am a neat freak lol

That can get expensive!

They have very reduced hours during the shelter-in-place. Just open Saturday and Sunday, normal hours 10-6

They are also having an April sale. If you have any spare $$ this might be a good time.

15% off all corals and buy 3 get one free.
15% off all fresh and SW fish Buy 3 get one free.
Buy any tank get 10% as store credit.

I think I have the above correct. I took pics of the signs but my phone doesn't like the color scheme they used!

Looks like they are selling RODI water in case anyone needs some for emergencies.
