A great Store

Sorry, I know this is the place where people usually talk about
what they have to sell. But I thought that I should post this here
in hopes that this might benifit someone else. I recently
purchased a tank from marine aquatics from Arjen and Eric. I
just waned to tell everyone how spectactular it is. I think that I
recived the best deal than anyone offered me. But it was not the
fact that is was cheaper than anyone else but that they took the
time to help me set it up. They wired the lights and drilled the
hole in the sump, they really helped me out. I say this at the risk
of offending many other good shop owners, I depend also on
them. But I think the reason I chose their store because they
went far and beyond anyone else to help me put together a
very nice tank. I am not in the habbit of advertising for other
people but I just thought I should say something.

I also went today to Marine Aquatics, Spent too much but  it's a great price for what I got

I too made a little stop at Marine Aquatics.  It must be ORA frag picture time...

Blue Tort, picked up tonight!  Thanks Eric.

And another ORA frag.  Blue tip stag.  Thanks Shawn

Might be too late....

pmpt, Aquarium does have a good variety of stuff, but they tend to overcharge quite a bit. I usually go there as a last resort when I need something that no one else has.

I'm surprised I didn't bump into more people at MA last night, I was there too...hehe Obviously everyone heard of the awesome shipment of goodies he picked up. I was just there to pick up some test kits and snails, but I also had to take an extra hour there to talk his ear off and drool over the new stuff he had gotten in. Looks like everyone above grabbed the exact ones I was staring at. (can't wait to get some better lights so I can get some of these fancy items, of course Eric is working with me to hook that up as well).

Btw, if you want to see Eric beaming with pride, ask him about his skimmer inventions.

I really haven't seen The Aquarium being overpriced. I've bought stuff for almost every store and find that they have the best selection, and healthiest livestock. Besides, they will usually always give you a deal on stuff. I'm sure you've seen that Improdigal.

They usually do have a great selection. Fish especially. But don't kid yourself - they are always more pricey than other LFS's

Ok, now I feel bad.

I like the aquarium and the people there are awesome. I'm sorry I said anything. Every LFS has their forte's and items they sell for good prices or higher prices. For example, I usually go to Under the Sea for the best price on anenomes and invertibrates, but I seldom see them mentioned here.

 

I should mention the LFS that I bought my fish from that gave my tank ich. It is one I hear talked about quite often on this website. But I don't want to mention names.

pmpt,, say no more I know the one you are talking about... I too have had nothing but poor stock from them. I really dont get why they have nothing but praise from everyone on this board.  I wont even bother with the drive anymore. I love the Aquarium and have yet to buy one thing from them that did not live..I dont find them over priced for the quality...  I have also had great sucess with MA. Their hours are strange.. I have been there a few times and they were not open so I ended up at the Aquarium anyway..... I guess we all have our faves...All in all we are lucky to have such a great selection of LFS....
