Review Paradise Cove Pets

I agree that they have a lot of empty tanks and their second coral tank still doesn't have water in it yet. I do usually see people coming in and out when I am there however. I'm just not seeing anything that I'm that interested in with the coral. It looks like a lot of their stuff has been there for a while so I am guessing they need to get a lot better variety to appeal to more people.
I actually haven't been having much luck w/ fish from Aquapets lately. The ones I get from Pet World are doing fine, but the Flame angel and a wrasse I got from Aquapets both kicked the bucket mysteriously. Pet Cove got in their latest shipment of corals this past week. They do have a lot more than they did in the past, but the quality is definately not what they have at Aquapets. I do think their prices are more reasonable at Pet Cove than either of the other 2 stores in town however...

Reeftechtonics had an awesome cabinet maker building their fish cabinets. Anyone know how to get in touch with them or if Mike is going to continue to sell stands? I am very happy with the 55 and will be looking for a 240 stand to be built towards the end of the year. Sad to see them go

They are still doing maintenance, and I would assume they will still be having the cabinets made. If you go to the store, there is a number posted to contact Mike if you need to.
Here is the website also.

The cabinet maker was Critterwoods.

I ran into Mike today in Lincoln. He still builds and sells stands. Cris listed the contact info just above this post. I do agree with you koikeeper, He produces awesome stands.
I stopped in Paradise Cove a few days ago after work to see how far they had gotten. I like that they actually have a coral selection, not the biggest... but still a selection. They didn't have much for fish when i was there. My huge complaint however is that whoever was working stared at me the whole time I was there, like I was going to steal something. I went there right after work, I had a shirt and tie (not exactly clothes that screams shoplifter...) and I thought at first maybe he was just wanting to ask if I needed anything and wanted to wait till I was closer. When I walked to the drygoods section I smiled and said "Hi" to him thinking he would (hopefully) stop staring at me. He watched me continuously for about 3 minutes until I really just wanted to leave. I can honestly say that it would take an amazing coral or fish to get me to buy anything from there again. The last thing I want to do is support a place that treats customers that way... hope nobody else has this happen to them, but I cant imagine I am the only one to experience his bubbly personality and compasion for customer service.

Paradise Cove Screwed me big time. I paid $44.99 for a purple Digitata that I didn't even want. I wanted an acro, the kid bagged the monti. Shame on me for not watching him, I know, but still, I got screwed.
I'm in Lincoln and didn't realize till I got home.
So now....I'm kinda stuck.....Anyone want some frags of this guy? I'd like to get a little back on this crappy transaction!

I'm so done with petworld man. Bill thinks all his half-dead crap is "rare morph" this and "private collection" that.....PFFT that guy had some DECENT, zoa frags.....$39.99 a peice....not even very big!!! yea right dude! I hate to be like this because I have had some decent luck up there. It seems like the only time you can get anything decent is right when the shipment comes in, which it did today, I just happened to be there when everything was still in bags.
I'm not trying to bash PW too much, but some of the prices are truly outrageous for the quality of the coral.
Am I the only one who feels like this?

Yeah I was there today about 4:30. I was eying those pinkish zoas in the big tank, but yeah, $40 is way to much. There was also a nice looking orange colored digitata, but he wanted 20 for that.
Also, there were several trumpets, and I think he was saying $45!! They only had like 6 heads on them max! and they didn't look that great.
I got one from Aquapets with 7 heads for $12.
I go into Petworld a lot to look, but very rarely is there anything i feel is worth the price being asked. Once he gave me a small Digitata frag for like $5. I also had him throw in a little pebble that had 3 Zoa polyps on it, he gave that to me for a buck! (can't wait to start selling it back at his prices ;-) other than that, I have never been happy with the prices there.

Yea, I'll confess, I was eyeing his neon green trumpets, 3 sickly little heads....I thought I'd buy them cheap and "do him a favor" When he told me what he wanted for them.....it was hard to hold in my laughter. I'm not much into fish, as I don't really have a tank big enough for anything cool, but his fish prices don't seem too outrageous, I could be wrong though.
Chris, you get my pm?
