Yes the panorama fixtures.... I loved the panorama strips.

I had to chuckle at the 5 pm shadow bit as you forgot to say "five o'clock shadow at noon on the fifth day of not shaving with my credit card" :D

[reefreak]

Guys im a a,b student taking pre ap classes i cant have time to slack lol! And dont do it chris! Lol jk

[Louis-210]

I will be there with my CC, and just got some new MH, Hello coral!!!!

[rrasco]

I'm hoping they have some nice pieces, and at 50% off...anything could happen. Of course, that's assuming their prices are not marked up 200% to begin with.

[Louis-210]

True, we will see . . .

[rrasco]

Anyone make it out there yet? I'm going shortly, will try to post some pics so we all know what's up.

[reefreak]

Louis-210 is there he called me and wanted to see if i wanted to go but i got homework lol!

[ElChicano]

One word for this place . Overpriced.

[rrasco]

Dang. That's exactly what I was worried about. High overhead, high prices. :/

Do they at least have a cool indoor pond and a shark tank like their website says?

[LuckySingh]

i was planning to when they open the doors this morning after i saw the 50% off tag but than figured maybe there prices r way to high to sustain this offer and than again i dnt blame them being as a big franchise store this was expected..:bigsmile: I' ll still go after work check em out cant miss to check a new fish store in the hood

[koa25]

16614 colonies of xenia were 109 bucks. There was some stuff that was a decent price with the 50% off deal. But i hope these aren't normal day to day prices.

[ElChicano]

Did anyone else get the free tank.

[rrasco]

Shocking...

[rrasco]

Do they have any more? My niece and nephew are coming with me in just a few.

[reefreak]

Im going to start taking my coral here lol!

[itsbobbyz]

Deff akot of people here but its worth it to check it out 50% off fish and coral got a pretty decent selection but prices are hi

[Flyride95]

Yea they have really high prices on a few things. Like 89.99 on the yellow tangs and with 50% off it would still be to high. But if you look closely they put a few things in incorrectly and they are super cheap. Like I picked up 6 scarlet hermits which they had on another thank for 8$ but they are on the other side as red legs for .85 cents. And there is yellow head jawfish for only 18$ which is really cool because I have been looking for one of those. And yea my boys picked up a tank lol.
Ps . If you want the hermits there are still a lot left just right above the bigger clownfish tank.

[LuckySingh]

And I met our Gud old Gabe there

[Zen Reef]

Was a disappointment for me. Even with the 50% off, the prices were still higher then average reg prices. Had to check it out but prob won't make the trek again.

[Louis-210]

For sure the FAIL of the WEEKEND, you hit it right on the head with this quote!

[rrasco]

Haha, yeah, I found that kind of coincidental as well. Everything seemed to be exactly twice what it should be normally. $100 flame angels (even though you can find them for $30) and skunk cleaners for $50...

[Louis-210]

Yea i got there and i was in shock, even my wife was like are these the real prices lol . . . i saw a Triger that was 100.00

[jcnkt_ellis]

There were some hidden gems...like I picked up two photosynthetic gorgonians that were HUGE for $12.50 each (they were half off) and a blasto frag with excellent color and two heads for $15 (half off again...) but outside of that, on the saltwater side they are pretty high on prices.

[Big_Pun]

actually there prices are correct we are just used to our LFS prices as they take a big hit on profit to compete with eachother then we complain about prices there. kinda of eye opener with this new store for some folks, remeber that next time you try and haggle prices at our sponsor shops.

I saw those, I thought they were kind of cheap but I don't know what gorgos normally go for, so I couldn't tell. I *almost* bought one though.

[koa25]

Ace spotted some hidden gold torch mixed in with the other frogs and torches. I snagged one and so did he. 15 bucks for a aussie gold torch. Not too bad. ha ha.

[Louis-210]

Dang i must of missed that . . . that is a good deal!
