Out with the old and in with the new! It only seemed right that we put a Clover system in the store. Please bare with me while I get used to the adjustment, but this is going to make my life so much easier! If anyone is looking to get a system put in, reach out to Paul or Max! Max has been one of our customers for a while, so it’s nice to be able to support him and his dad in return! They were great to deal with and the price is very fair!

We are now stocking small feeder goldfish! In a few weeks, I’ll be stocking larger ones as well! We also just got in 500 ghost shrimp! I know a bunch of you have been waiting for them, so get them while you can! Ghost shrimp don’t typically ship well in warmer weather and losses over the first night are considerably higher compared to the cooler months, so it’s hard to say how many will be here after today. Also, keep in mind that these get fed to our stingrays, so we try and keep some for ourselves as well.

On top of the feeders, we got in Taiwan moss, peacock moss, Christmas moss, weeping moss, flame moss, and red tiger lotus!

Our manager has been on the job for 6 months today! She does about as much as most of the managers I’ve worked for in the past, so I guess she’s doing a good job so far! I think she’ll be bagging fish here soon by the way she intently watches the process every time she’s in.

Also, please don’t forget that we will be closed the rest of the week after today! We had four people yesterday pull 30% off and quite a few pull 25%, so don’t miss out on some great savings!

Hey guys! There’s a few things to talk about today, so let’s start with the most important one! Today is Tara’s birthday! This woman is my best friend, the perfect wife, and an amazing mom to Clover. She has been continuously working full time while I try to get the store off the ground and none of this would even be remotely possible without her. She keeps me sane when things aren’t going right and she keeps me motivated on the days where I want to throw in the towel. She’s aging like fine wine and I have to say that 30 is her best looking year so far!

While I hate to mix business in with a post about Tara, we only have one more day open this week and I don’t want you guys to miss out on these while our sale is going on. We finally got in more axolotls! We only have two wilds and two leucistics left, so don’t wait!

Finally, one of our regulars makes these really cool driftwood sculptures and we will be starting to carry them! They are securely fastened to tile so you don’t have to worry about them floating and he also presoaks them for several weeks to get all of the tannins out, so these are 100% tank ready!

Again, we only have tomorrow left for this week. Don’t miss out on the sale! Two different people pulled 30% yesterday, so maybe you’ll be the next one!

We’ve been open a little over a year and I never get tired of getting messages like this one we received from one of our regulars on Sunday morning! I’d love to see some of the fish, plants, and other aquatic critters the rest of you have gotten from us and how they’ve grown in the comments!

As promised, our 4th of July sale is up! With us only being open four days with the holiday, we wanted to give you guys another good sale! Tara turns 30 on Wednesday so, for this week, you have the opportunity to get 5%-30% off your entire purchase! When you’re ready to pay, you’ll pull a number from a bowl at the counter and that will determine your discount! Pulling a number makes the transaction final. For example, you can’t pull 30% and then decide you want to add an FX6 to your purchase. You would have to pull again for a separate transaction. The first customer of the day pulled 25% off, so there’s definitely good chances to get a great deal!

We have something new at the shop and something that’s not new but I just realized I never posted a picture of it. We now have insulated bags and tumbler cups! The cups have been a huge hit and we only have three left! The insulated bags are a great way to keep the temperature of your fish bags stable during transport. How big are they? They are big enough to fit at least one Clover Mae!

We’ve been so busy playing catch-up this week that I completely forgot to show you guys some of the new stuff we’re carrying! To start, we got in Estes black sand. A lot of you have requested it and we recently moved some stuff around to make room for it. We also got in aquarium co-op pleco caves since they’re wider than the ones we currently have. The next product is one that I personally don’t think it necessary to use, but it has been requested by several of you so we got it. That is Dr. Tim’s ammonium chloride in two sizes.

Next up is the Sicce UV-C Clarifier. These things are a fantastic piece of equipment to add to your tank. They help kill different microorganisms that you don’t want in your tank like algae, bacteria, protozoans, etc. This specific model can be ran fully submerged or externally. Aquarium co-op sent me over some of their glass cleaning towels, so we’ll see how they sell before I commit to permanently stocking them. Many of you like the idea of a small desktop tank, but want a more affordable option than the Aquatop ones we currently stock. We are now carrying the 2.5 gallon betta bows from Aqueon to fill this need.

Our pond section has been entirely built on customer requests and a new product that was requested is the Ecofix Sludge Remover from API which we now carry in two sizes. Finally, we added two new things to our live food arsenal. Live black soldier fly larvae and live blue bottle fly larvae in 50 count and 100 count! These are both fantastic additions to your fish’s diet. I only got three cups of each to start, but will stock larger quantities if the demand is there. Speaking of live foods, live brine shrimp is back in stock! Let us know if there’s anything else you want to see us put on the shelves!
