New Pet Store - Its HUGE!

I was at the Wallingford store this morning. They have some good deals:

Peppermint Shrimp - 3/$10
Emerald Crabs 3/$12
Red Knob Sea Stars - $29.99
Chocolate Chip Stars - either $6.99 or $7.99 - can't remember

Definitely going to check out Branford once they get up and running.
 
If you need anything special, a good friend of mine "mike d" is the fishroom manager. he's a great guy and he'll help you get what you need.
 
stopped in today. No fish at this time. I think one of the guys working there said coming tonight or tomorrow. Looks like they will have the most saltwater system in the state. Smallest tanks look to be 26 gal bow fronts and there are many of them. Not sure on the larger tanks maybe 46 bow fronts and there were many of those in the system as well. Very big store. Tons of new tanks in all sizes, many reef ready. And they are still stocking.
 
Update.....went tonight after the gym at about 8:45. They finally have some fish; a nice volitans, 1/2 dozen bullet gobies, 1/2 dozen yellow tangs, 3-4 sailfin tangs, 3 naso tangs, various damsels, a dozen oscellaris, some nices various wrasses, a few puffers, some niger triggers, and a bunch of other stuff. The bank of 26 gallon Bows (with 2 72g bows on each end) will serve as the reef safe fish and corals. The 26 bows on the wall will be the fish only tanks. I would estimate there to be about 30 26b tanks dedicated to reef fish and corals. Then the 4 72g bowfronts and at least 40-50 fish only tanks. Not a bad start! The fish room manager I met (Keith) was really nice and is very into the hobby and has been for a number of years. He used to work at a reef store in Milford that went under a few years ago when the owner passed away (can't recall the name). The fish all seemed to be very reasonably priced, though some of the dry goods were (kind of expectedly) high. IO buckets were $59.99! 20 lb bags of Seachem Oolitic Substrate were $32.99. They will have cleanup crews in next week at some point, they didnt have any inverts just yet. They will run the 6' downdraft skimmer out in the open so people can see it working!!!!
 
Thanks guys..I will actually be heading down on Thursday, so don't buy up everything Tuesday :)
