Introducing San Antonio's Newest LFS

[Louis]

A first class shopping experience is right around the corner!

The city of San Antonio has been waiting for an alternative to the same old fish shop. A store that will remember your name and give honest advice. A place with clean water and healthy livestock. Aquarium husbandry that is kind to the environment with a killer look that will blow you away. Such an alternative exists.

I want to show you a project I've been working on for the past few months. We will provide top notch customer service, advise on equipment and livestock, premixed saltwater, ro/di water, supplies, new setups and equipment, green lighting solutions, at home and in office maintenance, leasing programs, custom design and fabrication, and so much more. Allow me to introduce you to Elegant Reef - Tropical Fish Studio!

Elegant Reef has over 2000 gallons of saltwater aquariums illuminated by eco-friendly LED lighting. A dedicated 4x8 coral garden and 3x3 clam refugium surrounded by 8 foot long fish holding tanks all custom designed for the best husbandry ever seen in a San Antonio fish store. We host an additional 700 gallons of freshwater aquaria featuring many species including live plants, fancy betas, cichlids, discus, and more! Our store has been designed from the ground up with a single purpose in mind, deliver the experience that you've been waiting for!

The studio is slated to open its doors in mid June.

Shouldn't this be done under a sponsorship type forum? This is more of an advertisement than a vendor/product experience.

[350gt]

Address???

[hobogato]

[allan]

I'm looking forward to it myself.

Louis,
You the same guy that had the shop in your garage for a minute?

At any rate, I plan on being there for your grand opening bro.

[CoryDude]

FB pics were a nice tease. Think I'll have to make a trip up north.

[350gt]

Pics look good, will definitely drop by on opening day....

We should have some signage out front by the weekend, but unfortunately we will probably need at least one more week until opening day. Big updates coming soon, stay tuned!

[pjku79]

So, is it open yet? I am getting ready to start stocking my tank and you are right around the corner from me. I'd like to come see it if you are open.

[Joseph]

Too bad us folks on the south side don't have a decent LFS down here, the drive north is a bummer

[350gt]

You would think someone would open one off 37 n military by now..... But then again u won't feel like me and have to restrain yourself from visiting local shops.. I really don't need a thing at the moment but will always see something I want...

[Europhyllia]

If I have to go up north for a fish store though I'd rather go NC or NE. NW is just a big PITA. So thanks for at least not putting it NW...

[Louis]

We are trying very hard to open this weekend. I will know exactly where we stand by Wednesday.

[Mr Cob]

I'll be there dependent upon when my wife finally goes into labor...lol

What a great LFS!

It is very tidy, organized and simple. I enjoyed seeing your new shop Louis and I'm glad you're back in business.

I look forward to seeing the coral display tank up and running.
