The Coral Connection

[ReefWidowed]

Does anyone know if this place is still around? Or where it even was? I did a search on Google, and there are a bunch of them. I was clearing through some things and found an old gift certificate for it. If it's still around we can toss it into the next raffle.

They were in Willoughby and closed several years ago due to the owners failing health

It was a shame too as it was nice to have a place on the east side.

 

[chuggy]

still have rms and jurassic

 

[serpentman]

Not familiar with Jurassic. However RMS is my dead last, its an emergency, can't wait type store.

 

[GSMguy]

where is jurassic?

 

[Aadler]

Richmond and Rt 6 in highland hights maybe? just north of south euclid.

Honestly only good for ick and mostly dead coral though.

 

[serpentman]

How about dry goods? Although I predominately purchase from Salty, it would be nice to have something close by in a pinch.

Jurassic was retail on steroids and was not very impressive at the best description. I guess if you needed something in an absolute emergency and wanted to pay retail plus 50% it would be the place to go. Kinda like a disorganized version of Aquarium Adventures. But it has been a while since I popped in there.


Topic at hand.

Coral Connection. That was a great store. I also lament it's passing.

Dry goods, you would save money paying the gas if you had the two hours to drive to salty

I forget what the maxijets were, but it was pricey, the koralia's also were pretty bad. Now fish prices arnt bad, but in general you can find something wrong with every fish.

On the note of fish GO TO AQUATECH NOW! wow they have a boat load of fish atm. i was there this afternoon, and wife and I are going back because two fish just wasnt enough when there are so many to choose from .

 

[Aadler]

altho they were not to keen to sell me fish... or coral for that matter. Im not sure what was up with that.

 

[chuggy]

where is aquatech now?

Jurassic is pricey but i dont know what you guys are talking about bad fish ive never purchased a fish there with ick nor have i seen it on any of there fish. There really dont carry that much as accessories go but there fish and corals are nice.

I think Jurassic is a waste of time and are very pricey, they want 30 for a reg fire fish? and most coral is half alive. Aquatic tech is in Columbia station. 71 south and get off the strongsville exit, take a right and is about 15 minutes away on the right.

 

[chuggy]

columbia stations an hour away jurassic is 5 minutes.
