As many of you know, the only all saltwater store in town, Coral Island, was bought out a couple months ago. That has left us hobbyists in a bind, because the new owners decided to move shop, which meant they would be closed for a while.
You may have also heard that the former proprieter of Coral Island, is now opening a new store.
That left us with no stores, but two on the way.
Well now it looks like there is yet another store: Emperor's Ocean. I was up on Juan Tabo and I randomly saw this store. I briefly talked to the owner, who said he had just recently opened. They are at 2120 Juan Tabo Blvd (87112), just south of Menaul (right around the corner from Clark's). They are partially stocked so far.
This weekend I also stopped by the site of the "new" Coral Island. The new owners moved to a much larger building on Candelaria, a little east of I-25. They said that they expect to get their first shipments in 2 weeks. They also said they'll have the same phone number as the old Coral Island.
I'm sure asfullax will give an up to the minute on the other store soon.
So it looks like we'll have more gallons of saltwater in Albuquerque than ever before.
