I have just opened a new shop in St Cloud, specializing in the sale of corals and inverts (not many fish, although the ones I do have a pretty cool). The store is desgined sepcifically to begin aquaculturing our corals (several marine biologists and life long reefers involved). We have numerous distributors for Aquacultured corals from ALL over the world and offer probably th best prices you would be able to find ANYWHERE in MN. We are willing to offer a deal to your club to try to get the word out about the shop. It is not much to look at yet (which we expect to keep our overhead down and offer ALOT cheaper prices) but it is still a pretty cool shop (although quite small). We need to get the word out so that we can make sales and keep the shop going. We are expecting to be a low profit (part time only) business dedicated to the hobbyist and not the ALL important dollar. Every partner has a full time job making ALOT more than this place can ever make us but we enjoy the hobby and want to bring it to the St Cloud area. However, sales from the cities is what we keep us alive and kicking (now and in the future). If you guys are interested you can call the shop @ (320) 252-SALT (7258) and leave a message to make an appointment. We are usually around at nights (after 5:00) and on the weekends. Otherwise feel free to e-mail us at fish@totalaquatics.com. We can get you anything you may be interested in. Just e-mail us in advance and we can let you know if it is in stock, pricing, and/or when we can get it for you. We have several species of clams, SPS, LPS, inverts, etc., already in stock (including a cool elephant skin that has some magnificant blue clams inbedded in it). I think this place will ultimately become one of the best shops in the state with a little support from the reefers in the area. And I gurantee it will be the lowest prices around. We currently have about 300lbs of assorted Live Rock on Hand (really nice stuff). Mixes of Marshall Island, Tonga, and Fiji. We will be getting about 500lbs of Florida Rock in soon also. Along with a huge assortment of corals. Our rock is ranging in price from $5-$7 a lb but we price based on quality and NOT quantity. Almost ALL of it is covered in a large amount of featherduster's and coralline algae growth (except some of the newer received pieces but it is getting there also). As far as fish, like I said our stock is low (we truly do not wish to sell any but popularity dictates we sell some). We have a pretty large Moray with 2 Huge Panther Groupers. We also have a HUGE stone fish and a small assortment of Butterflies. We have some true percula clowns (of course) (including several BREEDING pairs available). We will also be getting in a breeding pair of both Coral Banded Shrimp and Cleaner Shrimp (if we can get some sales going). We also offer some of the BEST prices on DryGoods, However , most of it must be ordered in advance. If you need something e-mail us and we will give you OUR pricing for the item (I doubt you will be dissappointed) and if you want it (or need it) we will order it for you. We get our supplies DIRECTLY from the manufacturers (no middle men), so that are WAY cheaper than other places (Metal Halides, VHO's, PC's, Replacement Bulbs, Test Kits, Food, Salt, Tanks (acrylic or glass) you name it. We do not stock these items but we will sell them for ALOT cheaper than you can find anywhere else.
Any types of livestock you may be interested in, just let us know. Call or e-mail us for an appointment to stop by and check us out.
Thanks.
