Wow...

They always had nice africans. I never bought any because of the prices, but the fish were nice. I did buy two 40g breeder tanks there and some filters as they had some of the best local pricing on equipment. I'll be interested to see what changes.

I used to shop there years ago. I started going there when they were at the old location. Over the last 5 or so years, everytime I went in it was a little bit worse. I did not like some of the fish and I did not like the way I was treated. In the mean time, I found two stores I liked better so I quit going. Been in there one time in the last 2 years. Did not buy anything.

Hopefully the new owners will treat the fish a little better as well as clubs and customers.

I was there last week. Knew something was going on. New faces (management) and the tank inventory was almost all gone (they may be changing vendors). I bought a few supplies I needed.

Been a customer there for all the years I have been in the hobby. The old days were better than the last couple years. Still the best local prices around for supplies. I even bought some of my favorite fish there.

I doubt if there will be any noticable change. I'm a distributor rep (in another industry). When a new ownership comes into the same location, and they are only shut down for a week or so, that doesn't give them enough time to make too many drastic changes. We'll have to wait and see though.

Yeah, but now Pat, tell me that you didn't positively covet that big Oceanic reef tank . . . .
