For south jersey add
Aquarium Authority Route 70 East, Marlton (before marlton circle)

Are they even still open? I was past there last month and the store looked empty. Last few times before that, they had next to nothing in stock and what they did have looked terrible.

 

[reef_enthusiast]

Is Seatopia Aquatics still open? They are definitely not where they used to be at 685 Bergen Blvd, Ridgefield, NJ 07657. I went to swing by there after work yesterday and it's now a dance studio. Just wanted to let people know to save them a trip.

Adam's Pet Safari, now in the shopping center corner of RT 513 (Main St.) and Rt. 206 in Chester. They had a lot of problems with the saltwater section after they moved, but it's OK now, they carry some good SW equipment like the SCWD, kalkwasser, etc. Carry parts like impellers for powerheads. Good selection of frozen foods. Some of the people working there have reefs. (908)879-8998.

 

[Ortho Bill]

The Aquarium Authority is indeed closed..... Bill

 

[savager]

Seatopia on Bergen Blvd is definately closed. I am not sure where they moved or just closed all together. I live few blocks off from there and now it's dance studio. It's pretty sad because I just got into this hobby and one of the closest LFS is closed =(

 

[panmanmatt]

The Aquarium Authority is indeed closed..... Bill

Thanks Bill. I thought as much. It's a real shame because they had some good stock and great prices back in the day.

We neglected to add the Aquarium Center in Blackwood. Bill

I was on heading south on Rt 9, north of Freehold when I noticed a new store opening up. It was on the north bound side and I think it was a custom tank builder. Sorry about the poor description, but does anyone have any info about this place?

[revclyburn]

That's Oceanarium

it's a new store. I stopped by they Saturday. THe store will officially be opened on Wednesday, one of the owners said that he will have in a bunch of stuff. I look at the LR he had, looks good, some bracnh, fiji, and some stuff he said he was using to cycle the tanks with, but it had a lot of life on it. Had some nice Angels, and a few other fish. But, not a lot. I hope it stays around as we all know how fast a store can come and go. I mentioned that Pynces said some thing about the store online, and he was surprised. MAYBE, NJRC can arrange something with them, like group buys or discounts, that would be a good way to get new members, PHYL.

Anyway, I'll write more about it Wednesday, I'll stop in and see what's up on my way to work. I want to see what corals and agnels he can get. Said he could get a Peppermint Angel, but I don't have that kinda of loot. That's a 2,500 to 5k fish. Anybody got 1995 to 5k to lend me??????

I thought the sign out front said custom built aquariums, but I was doing 65 at the time. Could you find out if there building tanks also?
Thanks,
Tony

I was told by the owner that they can build whatever you want to suite your needs.

I doubt he can get one as the diver is no longer collecting them and hasn't been for over a year. Add to that the fact that they would go to Japan, especially when they get 2-3x what we are willing to pay.

[sharks]

Please add the zip codes if possible to the list up top.
That way they can be added to jeffrey_ropp's map.

 

[the tiler]

Stoped by and saw Bob from the Eagle Reefs this morning. He said that he might not be open on the 1st but by the 7th.
If you dont know Bob he was the guy running The Reefs Inc in Greenbrook. The Partnership had a falling out and now he is starting a new store.
