Hello everyone – My name is Nadine. My husband Tamer and my nephew Ivan are co-owners of Aquatic Warehouse.
We cannot thank you enough for all of your support. The store is very important to us and we want to do this right. We especially don’t want to over promise. So with that being said, please feel free to share your comments and concerns with us when you come by. We have had the pleasure of meeting many of you and we really do appreciate your honest and candid feedback – so keep it coming and keep us humble! This is especially helpful while we are in the process of getting in more supplies and setting up for future propagation efforts.
Yes, our hours are a bit different. In fact, we did this for several reasons – namely keeping overhead low. Also, we are modeling our store after our favorite LFS back in Virginia where Tamer and I lived until June of this year (I am a native San Antonian). This guy kept it totally simple and did it right – no frills. Plus most people work during the day anyway.
The hours are Mondays – closed. T-F 4-8pm and SS 12-5pm.
Tamer was just sick about having to leave town this week – but we have loose ends back in VA. In the meantime I am pleased to see that all of you like Ivan as much as we do. He and Tamer make a great team.
Anyways, our web address is/will be www.aquatichousesa.com and it is currently under construction, but you can go there for a link to a map to find us.
And yes, we are accepting checks but only as a courtesy to card carrying MAAST members.
Lastly, Tamer and Ivan plan to join MAAST very soon. And it is true that we would be honored to host an upcoming meeting at the store if you think it is big enough. I think this is what Ivan was trying to say. So just let us know.
Thanks again for everything –
Nadine Aly
P.S. Many of you have inquired about Lucky (the hippo tang with a lot of scar tissue in the display tank – lateral line maybe???) We rescued him from my chiropractor’s office –he is doing sooo much better than before.
