new store on the south side?

[lockus]

I live in NWI and was on my way to Aquatica in Tinley Park on the way home from work and passed up a sign. I didn't have time to stop and investigate but it was at 171st and Harlem in Tinley Park, the sign said Robs Aquatics. Anyone been there yet?

Looks like I have something to do tomorrow.

:beer: I am still an insane reefer :beer:
:eek1:

Someone was telling me about this yesterday. I'm heading to aquatica today, I'll have to check it out.

Isn't that where Capture the Sea was? ...I know the owner of that place was trying to sell for the longest time. He had CL ad for the business, and his big zero edge display tank up for the better part of a year.

This store is on the corner of 171st & Harlem where the Jewel is.
Went there today and YES he is open...yea !
Rob said they opened yesterday.
I picked up 2 very nice corals.

So, he now has 2 stores within a few miles of each other? Or is Aquatica closed/closing? Or did he sell Aquatica? Seems a strange business decision ... a'la Scott's of late.

Nope. He never owned Aquatica. He pretty much ran the place though. Mario owns Aquatica, and Rob worked there.

 

[onepoorreefer]

Didn't capture the sea have a going out of business sale yesterday and today? One fish store was having it I thought that was the name of it?

 

[boxer385]

Rob is a good guy always treated me well, what kind of selection do he has?

Yes,when I went passed there yesterday ,there was a 50% off sign.
I don't go in there,but was told not much to sell?

 

[1boatnut]

Yes he is.
Actually pretty good selection for a store that just opened.
He opened Saturday and said he had a pretty good day,so there was probabily even more then what I saw.

I purchased 2 corals and a neighbor that was with me got a nice rock piece with numerous corals (acans/blastos) for a good price.
