she said there going to move the first of the year!!

ya!!

 

[dannieboiz]

umm first of the year? You kidding right? That's a 9 months from now. LOLZ Why do you have to spread news like this and make everyone anxious. :fun5:

Worste of all, you didn't even mention where about.... argghh:mixed:

 

[Ti]

cool

 

[darcitananda]

Yes, they are moving next year. Max showed me the plans and it's frickin' incredible. I think it's going to be RIGHT downtown. It's going to be a destination in itself. They'll practically have to charge admission to get in it will be so cool, ha.
BTW, I wasat Mermaid today and Max is selling aquacultured clams from the "farm" in Tonga. THey are soooo cute. I bought a tiny little Maxima, and it is adorable.

 

[dannieboiz]

u didn't pay $30 bucks for those tiny Maxima did u?

and I hope you're kidding about the admission part. LOL I think I'll just head out to Montery Bay Aquarium. :eek1:

 

[darcitananda]

I'm totally kidding about the admission part, but it is true that it will be a destination, with some enormous display tanks.

Also, I am happy to pay extra for aquacultured animals. I would pay even more if it takes some strain off the environment. In fact, I consider it my duty to buy aquacultured or tank raised when possible. What is $30? YOu can't even get a weeks worth of lattes for that. Of course, I don't drink lattes, but, you get my point. I, for one, am thrilled to be able to buy aquacultured critters at my LFS. I know where they're coming from, who was caring for them, how old they are, etc....

Just take good care of the little guy.. I was going to get one but everyone tell me not to because they are very hard to keep...

whoa, good thing I didn't buy them. It was an inch away from the bag when I put them back.

 

[darcitananda]

I have a relatively small tank and it's fed fairly heavily, plus I'm dosing phyto. I'll let ya'll know how it does. I have to say it's an amazing little guy though. Incredibly responsive and beautifully colored. One thing that works well for feeding things that need a lot of nutrients is to turn off the return pump and just let powerheads recirculate stuff for an hour or so. I may also set up a drip in the sump so there is an all day supply of phyto running. Ah, the things we do for our critters.

Let me guess.. Sun Aquarium??
I was going to get one too... They are so pretty/cute..

 

[dannieboiz]

lol yah... lets not say the price either to avoid any hard feelings

:lol: jk darcitananda chances are they got them from the same place cause I saw them both having them the same week and all gone the following. Never seen them prior from either places.

I got one from sun aquarium a year ago. It is doing great. It started at 1 inch and is now three. Paid $8, Quang is the man.

 

[dannieboiz]

yah but he's jacking up the price like a mofo.... a lot of his prices are becoming like any other. I used to go there and buy things and not have to think twice since I know I'm getting the best prices in town. But now I have to think a few extra times before buying anything there. I've seem his price double in many things.

 

[Patio]

I agree in some cases. I started reefing when he opened his shop, we kind of learned together. It's the one shop where I bag my own corals, and sometimes he asks to help unload his shipments.

Back to the thread. I think I heard from a bird the new shop might have a shark display? Does that sound familiar?

 

[darcitananda]

Yes, there will be a shark display. Don't quote me on this, but I think he said 25,000 gallons?

 

[Patio]

Is that going to be crazy amazing or what

 

[Elite]

25,000G :eek1: ... My boys would love that.. So the new store will be in downtown SJ??

 

[king7]

yea, its where the old theater was... i can't remember the name of the theater right now....

 

[dannieboiz]

downtown theatre? Sounds like 2nd street.

I think in the begining he must have been charging way under, making no profit on many things in order to get people to know his store. Now he needs to actually start making a profit to be able to pay for the location as well as take home some money.
