    Hahah, if that had three viewing panes, and I was in a single story home with solar tubes... I'd be tempted, very tempted.


    Can you imagine trying to clean the bottom of the tank with a 30" spread, 5' deep?

    The more I think about it the more I think I'd really like to do a shark tank. Just need some expert in acrylic to work out the logistics of a large shallow tank to house a few sharks.

    If I ever find the space and funds for it I want something like 8x4x2 for a few sharks. Maybe even bigger.

    Good to see Gabe back in a fish store.

    My opinion on the store.

    Seems to be setup very well, talked to Gabe and he like the way the tanks, filtration, behind the scenes is setup up. Alot like a professional city aquarium.

    Great appearance

    Decent products and tanks, lacking some of the top of the line stuff like vortech, mps etc. but it may be on the shelf soon.

    Dry Products priced the same as most stores.

    Fish imo were priced average

    Corals are way over priced.

    All in all i do think i will shop there from time to time for dry products and the occassional fish. I think its more of a store for those new in the hobby. We all know what we can get from our fellow hobbiest and ma & pap shops, but a store like this has its place also.

    I agree the store was really nice I enjoyed it. Livestock was a little over priced but I doubt I will buy much coral there anyways. Overall I plan on going often! On a side note it was nice to see joe31, ace and Gabe

    Got to visit shortly before closing. It's out of the way for me, by a long shot, but I'm still glad I made the trip. The place is big, well stocked, and well staffed. I saw some new things I hadn't seen before in other stores, and the prices were fair. The freshwater setups are the best I've seen in town, by far.

    And of course it was good to see Gabe again, he's looking great.

    I hope the place does well, it's the kind of place that gets people into the hobby and the more the merrier

    My wife and I stopped by today. Pretty neat store, lots of things to look at. It was nice to see Gabe, he looks happy and that's a very good thing! Prices overall were decent, but I thought the livestock (especially the coral, and $70 for a fire shrimp??!) was overpriced.
