Anyone going to the Planet Reef opening tommorrow?

I got a colony of mixed zoanthids for $30. It's got around 200 polyps. Very nice deal. Also got a rock with both black and yellow sun polyps. About 20 yellow heads and 8 black. Also $30.
 
He' sgot some nice prices! I happened to be standing right there when they were about to draw for the Deluxe 12g, and I asked if I could put my name in...

Didn't even see the thing when I walked in, but I was the last person to put their name in for the drawing. Guess who's name got pulled?

That's right... Howie's did... they could not believe it. :eek2: :eek1:

We all laughed, but I am the proud new owner of a deluxe 12g nano setup, complete with stand, fission skimmer with a surface attachment. Thermometer, some reef crystals, and not sure what else.... Not sure what I will do with it...

Very nice trip for me, and I met a few people, MPCart, saw a few friends. All in all a very nice store. His prices are very competitive as well. When he is fully stocked and open, it will be sweet.

:D :D :)
 
You suck, because my name would have been picked if yours hadn't. :D

They did have some nice prices today. It's gonna be a cool store.
 
I got a unicorn tang for $13. If anyone wants a big tomato they were also $13. I think i might head back up there for some zoas.

so is there anything cool about this shop that makes it worth the drive? or is it just a bunch of tanks? any eye ball candy?

Best prices on fish I have seen... Marty says they wil lpretty much stay that way too. Coral Beauty's were like $14, Naso for $19, Cleaner Shrimp for $15.

If these are indeed regular prices.... Wow...
 
It was a nice store, they sure like their T5's.

Still a new store but I like where they're headed. I'll check back in a few months when all their tanks are up.

Mpcart and I just missed the drawing. I just had to go and crack my sump right before we left, argh! I think I've patched it up well enough for now.
 
What kind of tank did he win?

I'm going to get to go after all but it will be at the end of the day.

I prefer not to drive out to the county for a few good deals on a few fish. Is there any nice coral??
 
He isn't fully up and runing, no SPS yet, but he had some nice softies. Of course he was doing quite a bit of business, so I don't know what was left. JXmetal got two nice rocks while I was there...

And Mike, it was not fixed. Had Roy Brown won... that would have been a fix!!! I have been taking pointers and as a young padawan, I can say the Jedi mind tricks Roy has shown me work quite well!!!

:D :D :D
 
Oh and it was a 12 Deluxe Nano setup, complete with skimmer, surface attachment, pretty much everything you need to get it running except water...

Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Keep or sell... trade... not sure. Mantis maybe?
 
Pluses:
They had great prices.
Large corals.
A few hard to find species of fish.

Minuses:
Only partially stocked.
No SPS yet.
Not many larger tanks. (>75 gallon)(may have been more in the back though)
HOT! It was very warm/humid. But it was cold outside so they didn't have the doors open.


I didn't look into the fish too much as I knew I wasn't buying any. I didn't get a chance to check out the full array of dry goods either. But they seemed to have a good selection.
 
What do you mean when you say "Not many larger tanks"? Is that tanks for sale or tanks on display?
 
Tanks for sale was surly what was implied since there are at least three display/corals tanks that are larger than any Ive seen in other LFS.
 
He had a 150 for sale at the back of the store. Not much room for tank sales, just livestock and dry goods.
 
yea there was a big one in the back and like a 75 or 58 at the front. Other than that I didn't see any. But I'm sure they can order any.
 
I heard Steve tell some guy to go to the warehouse to get something, so they probably had the tanks down there.
