Albany Aquarium... going downhill

[Kinetic]

Albany Aquarium is going downhill. It's a complete mess inside, and has been for a year now since the owner changed.

The back still has a good selection of cool freshwater, and a neat plant tank setup like a prop tank. But there is junk all over the place. Old buckets, fish on the ground from jumping out, the wood floor creaks and sounds like it's going to collapse, and the front part of the store with the Saltwater stuff, has nothing but tons of tanks strewn about, and a wall with tanks full of aiptasia, algae, and florescent lit tanks with some candy cane, and bleaching maze brain coral. They have a few chromis, and one yellow tang in a small 15 gal.

I thought it'd get better, but damn it's such a wreck. They have a 7 foot skimmer or something, but you can't even access the saltwater area.

It's so messy, they need to get on the ball =(

I don't know why they tried SW anyways. There are only a couple FW plant stores, and there are tons of reef stores....

Gee Koden, sounds like you can sure know what it takes to do it. Why don't you offer your assistance to help them :lol:

FWIW< there was no, repeat, no, ownership change in the last 30 some odd years @ AA. Guy still owns it

oh they didn't change?

I don't know what it takes to do it, nor did I every say so. but it's looked a lot better in the past =/

Actually, it looks a heck of a lot better since the remodelled It's looked far worse

well, in terms of tanks cluttering every which way it looks like junk everywhere to me. the tanks in the back are actually really nice though =) but it was impossible to get to some of the sections without squeezing past some broken tanks and boxes.
