Another LFS closing up?

[DiscusnAfricans]

A friend of mine forwarded me this craigslist ad:

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/pet/2452516578.html

This is for Aquarium Depot in Randallstown. The ad says its a "Renovating sale" but I can't remember the last time a LFS renovated and stayed in business. Some very good deals on drilled tanks for anyone looking.

Wow. Hope not.

Called them up and the 50s that they have listed are the tall 40 breeder variety, not the short 75s (4'x18"x13").

I hope not. That store was the shiznit once.

I hope not. That store was the shiznit once.

KEYWORD IS "ONCE" . IT USED TO BE THE PLACE WORTH DRIVING TO, BUT I THINK OWNERS CHANGED AND IT WENT DOWNHILL AND NEVER RECOVERED. SO SAD.

HOT actually just redid all their cichlid racks... that whole isle. added more tanks and larger tanks...They are still around and most never even knew

Those tanks they have up in Randallstown were pretty shabbing looking last time I was up there.... and that was probably 4-5 years ago! good for basement breeders

Good for them.... they needed to do it

Tony.... they are actually called 50 longs that is what you are after. Hard to come by easier to find 100 gallon 6 footers. What most people actually use them for is coral. Try the reef sites

 

[Tony]

100 gallon 6 footers are yummy.

Yes they are!

You could always go to glasscages to get that tank. I think that is where they originated from. It's a chopped down 75.
