The saltwater stock they have is very nice and they are getting another shipment sometime today. There were some very nice open brain corals. I can't wait until the store is fully operational.

The site says 13000 sq ft.

Went to check it out today, lots of selection. I think the saltwater section could have been better, and some of the $$$ was ?!@#%!?!??.

Nah, we are not suppose to discuss about prices right?

My bad

[i have crabs]

i thought the display tank would be more impressive,the guy told me its about 2700g wich sounds bigger than it looked so who knows,im hopin i can pawn off the 2foot grouper in my basement as the first resident in the tank.
as far as stock thier was tons of stuff some prices where good-average and a few things where way high i thought

[superduperwesman]

Some prices seemed a little high to me as well, and I wouldn't say there is "A lot" of livestock yet, but I thought the store was/will be very impressive

[kwirky]

for anyone who went in, did it seem like they're carrying more in the store than what's on the website for hardware/dry goods?

[Phanman]

there was quite abit of hardware/drygoods at a reasonable price.. There was alot of fish foods that I havnt seen or even heard about before. The bulk heads they carry are a really good deal too. Was a little dissapointed in the livestock thou.. but its new and they still have alot of tanks to fill.

We spoke to the manager and the grand opening will be in sept some time with deals to be had im sure.

Ya there website doesn't seem to list very many products. I'd say they have more in-store than on the site. Mostly your basic Coralife products though. I didn't notice any "Higher end products" that I was hoping for.
