Hello all,

I recently moved to the Birmingham area (Trussville) and have yet to find a decent saltwater supplier. I was hoping some of you fine folks could direct me to a few.

Thanks!

Brandon,

What are AI's hours? I'll have to find them the next time I'm down that way. Went to AD sparingly for a couple of years, but didn't ever find my way to Aquarium Imports.
 
I think AI's hours are something along the lines of
M-F 10-6
Sat. 10-5
Sun. Closed

I'm pretty sure they close M-F at 6 and Sat. at 5, but as for what time they open I'm not really sure.
 
Hey Marc,
Welcome to the Birmingham area.

You only have a couple of choices. Aquarium Imports in Hoover and Aquarium Designs. I don't know if Aquarium Designs is still open, there seems to be some debate as to wether it has closed or not. I know the last time I tried to go there on a Saturday, a couple of weeks ago, it was not open.

Auarium Imports in Hoover is pretty much were I do all my buisness, Steve and Steve are good guys and they seem to have a decent variety of fish and corals, and they carry a good selection of dry goods. I think the name of the shopping center is Hoover Court, it is in hte back and not visible from Hwy 31. It is just south of the new Publix.

I was in Petco out on Hwy. 280 the other day and they had a few fish but not much else.

If you are interested, we are having a Central Alabama Reef Club meeting at my place this coming Sunday, the 24th @2:00 and you are more than welcome to attend. It is very informal, no dues or anything. Just a group of people getting together to discuss our tanks and to eat. There is a thread for the May meeting on this forum, it has directions. We sometimes swap frags. Hope to see you here.
 
If you went to the Galleria location, they moved from there a while back. The new location is on Hwy 31 about 4 or 5 miles south of the Galleria in Pelham. I have been in the new location a couple of times but the last time no one was in the store and there were no signs or anything.
 
I went to Aquarium Designs Friday. Shawn is not closing he is looking at a new building down 31 a little ways trying to save money. If you can catch him in there he is having some killer deals on coral and what he has in stock.
