new store!!

[cstires]

I spoke to Vihn a while back and he said it was like $6000-7000 a month for just rent, add Electricity, Water, and he's probably looking around $10,000 a month, WOW!!!

He's definitely going to have to sell, sell, sell!!!

But, he offers great products, at reasonable prices, so I'm sure he'll do fine.

Everytime I go to the Waterford mall I take a peak in Petland and always when I leave I wish I didnt go in there. The prices aren't great and the corals come with free hair algae and are near death. We need Aquaria Studio here in this area. I will support them for sure especially if Vinh is behind it. Hopefully there will be a grandopening event or something that we can all meet at.

I was driving by today and the door was open. They let me do a walk through. Everything was looking great! They said they still had more livestock coming in. The fish variety isn't there yet but well on its way. Everything looked healthy and the setup was top notch! Can't wait to see prices when they open on Thursday, they were not posted yet.

I drove by today and the door was open- Thank you very much Vinh and Ted for your hospitality to letting us get a sneak peak!

What an amazingly beautiful setup- The coral tanks were so organized and nice... and the livestock just beautiful!

I think I saw up close for the first time (I think it was this fish) an australian harlequin thingy, and a juvenile dragon wrasse.. what cool looking fish!

And the dry goods- now I can save on shipping when I'd order stuff online, its like a dream come true.

A real nice group of folks and I was very impressed

I also went into Petland beforehand and wished I hadn't gone in =\ There was a fish with popeye and I don't think even the algae wanted to grow in those tanks. Everything looked half dead- and get this! They have a Sea Apple sitting in there for sale. If it is on its way out like most stuff in the tanks.. well, we all know what they do when they expire =\

We are all *so* lucky to be in an area like Orlando to have places like oceans blue\AS and SITC (I really look forward to sitc II as well!) who aren't just business people but hobbyists as well. To have someone care for your future animals as much as you do is a true blessing!
