There will be a new "store" in time, in no way affiliated with oceanic tho.

Geez, that's too bad. Used to carry some pretty good stuff in there. I tried to support them as much as I could even though a bit on the expensive side. But it's still a 15 min drive for me and they were often closed, so haven't been able to connect there for a while. But I wish Paul the best going forward. He was a great guy to deal with, and always very willing to help.

I called and talked to Paul the owner today and all is not lost, the business has sold to new owners and Paul staying on for a few weeks to help with the transition. So it's going to continue as a Saltwater Aquarium shop but unfortunately without Paul and Albert's wealth of knowledge and advice, you guys will be missed!

Sold ? Ok that's one way to look at it.

gmann · #6 05-24-2015, 07:24 AM

is there another way to look at it if the owner said its being sold?

What did you expect him to say.
" I've lost my business to creditors see ya later "

The guy finally had karma bite him on the ass. Good riddance. Hopefully someone reputable will fill the void.

This blows. Got great advice and livestock from them with my castaway reef.

I hope there will be a another shop with same level of customer service and appreciation soon.

I don't think it's a good idea to FLAME people or places with your opinion, do you even realize the amount of knowledge that came from that little shop to help people out?
Best of luck to all the folks at Oceanic Corals in the future.

I'm sorry that you presume I'm just giving an opinion.
I actually have based my statement on personal first hand experience dealing with this shops gross negligence and poor business practices that have cost me a significant amount of money. So I repeat good riddance.
