Sorry, the note was copied and not pasted the other day. It is now commented on the previous post and listed below. This is the same advice that has been posted in previous years.

I (Dan) just wanted to share with you what I do to help combat heat waves at my house.

1) Keep all of the windows open all night long to release hot air from the house and allow cool air in. I would run box fans and the bathroom vents to speed up the air exchange rate.

2) Each morning, around 6:30-7:00, I would turn off the bathroom vents and close all of the windows to trap the cool air inside and close the blinds on all of the windows that had them. I covered any windows without blinds (like skylights) with butcher paper. Newspaper or construction paper could work as well.

3) I filled both of my bath tubs with cold water and elevated a box fan to blow across each tub at full power. This accomplished two things: A) it kept the water in the tubs circulating so that new cool water was always interacting with the air and B) it moved the cooler air out of the bathroom. Circulating the water in the tub is important so that you avoid a layering effect with the surface warming up and then preventing the deeper water from absorbing heat from the air.

4) I used a third box fan and two smaller fans to move air throughout my house.

While this wasn’t a perfect cooling system, it can keep my house 10-20 degrees cooler that the outside (20 degrees in the bathrooms and 10 degrees in the living room and kitchen). Yes, parts of my house still get very hot, but that’s not as bad as outside. The cooler internal temperature also made it easier to cool the house further each night.

I had done something similar to this over 20 years ago with a single bed room and moved air across a sweater box filled with ice. It’s essentially a swamp cooler, but a lot less expensive.

After what I feel to be repeated success, I am confident enough to pass this information on for any and all of you to use. The heat we have seen in the past will probably be back and I want everyone to be able to handle it. Good luck.

It’s time for some Summer Fun again! The Lake City Festival and Parade is taking place on August 3rd this year. That’s a Saturday, so most of you should be available to check it out and have a blast!!! Things should get started around 10:30am with three different parades starting at 6:00pm and everything wrapping up by 9:30pm. Feel free to swing by and say hello at The Fish Store when you are in attendance.

07/08/2024

It’s time to talk temperature again, so here’s our annual repost of ways to keep your tank and you cool. By the way, The Fish Store doesn’t go above 81F and you are always welcome to swing by to cool off a bit.

07/04/2024

What’s a better way to celebrate Independence Day than by eating…a lot. By the way, the frozen silverside (defrosted) was as long as the frog fish. Yes, we are closed. Have a happy Independence Day!

06/05/2024

We still have two systems used here at The Fish Store for sale. Tank, wet-dry filter, pump, and hoses are included. We have an 80 gallon and a 40 gallon system left. Get them while you can!

05/27/2024

Two important notes for today:
1) The new landlord is having the building repainted and work is going on around our back door. You should still be able to come in, but just be aware if the painter, the lack of parking spots, and the wet paint.
2) We are closing today at 5:00pm in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.

05/21/2024

In our continuing minor remodel, we have four large acrylic aquariums (2x155 gallons and 2x180 gallons) to give away. All four had been used as saltwater mixing vats; the two smaller ones in Bellevue and then Seattle. The larger tanks predate the 1993 fire at The Fish Store and have some smoke discoloration. All of these tanks have holes drilled into them and some include pvc fittings. They are yours if you can find a way to get them home.

05/18/2024

We have two small refrigerators that we need to get get rid of. They are old, but still work well. They served us well for many years hold staff lunches and snacks and are now cleaned out. The cart is not for sale. 😉

05/11/2024

We are trying a different tank-stand-canopy-glass cover combo. This is still 36”x18” on the base but we are offering a 54 gallon tank instead of the 65 gallon tank we had previously offered. The 54 gallon is only 20” tall and is a more manageable size for most people. The combo price is on the left hand side, so it’s quite a deal. We only have one.

05/11/2024

We had a long time customer/ former employee bring by a couple of items that are fully functional, but, admittedly, are well used. The first is a modified BioCube and the other is an iron stand for a 55 gallon tank. Both are absolutely free to whomever wants them. All you need to do is come pick them up while we are open.

04/29/2024

So, we are at it again! We have three more systems available from the South bank of tanks. These had been used for saltwater invertbrates, so there may still be a bit of coraline algae on the sides. These prices include the wet/dry filter, pump, and hoses. No lights. Remember, they are as is, all sales are final, and there are only these three available. When they are gone then they are gone. We hope to see you soon.

04/20/2024

Here’s something different! We are making some changes here at The Fish Store and we need to get rid of one of our systems. This is the first system on the saltwater bank and was the brackish water system. It is 96 x18x12, divided into six chambers, has a built in overflow box, and includes a fully functional wet-dry filter with the water pump and plumbing. The tank is just over 30 years old and sold as is. It has served us well and, hopefully, will serve one of you as well.

04/18/2024

Oh, hey! Look what we have. They will go on sale Friday. There are only 12 of them and they are 3-4 inches long right now.

04/13/2024

We ordered a Sargassum Angler from one of our sources in LA a couple of months ago and have finally gotten it large enough for a correct identification. This is a hairy anglerfish, also known as a striated anglerfish (Antennarius striatus). Many animals are sent to us either mislabeled or misidentified and we try our best to get you the correct information. Consider yourselves (and out LA source) educated.

03/27/2024

We’re doing it again! We have another round of glass tanks to give away AS IS! These are tanks left by customers. Supplies are limited to whatever is on hand. Get them while you can. Once they are gone then they are gone.

03/23/2024

We have received some new styles of tanks this week. They are called Library Tanks and they are wider front-to-back than a standard Bookshelf tank. The tanks pictured here are 4, 3, and 2 feet long respectively. We only have one of each size, so get them while you can.

02/29/2024

Happy Leap Year! Rumor has it that it’s really good luck to shop at your local fish store on leap year. Yes, we all, together, can make this a thing. We have received new saltwater and freshwater shipments recently, so there’s lots to see. To help celebrate the additional day, we will be open normal hours, 11am-9pm. 😁

02/19/2024

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth and made this year’s Northwest Flower and Garden Festival our best one yet! We’re already making plans for next year and can’t wait to see you again February 19-23, 2025. Oh, and , yes, you can still buy plants at the shop all year round.

02/16/2024

It’s the start of day 3 at the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival! Since you already know what the booth looks like, today we are showing off some rock creations made by Cory and a sampling of Wolffia, the smallest flowering plant (as far as we know). Again, we are in booth 2418. We’d love to see you if you attend the show.

02/15/2024

Day 2 of the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival is underway and it looks like it’s going to be another fun day. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello. It’s always good to see familiar faces! And a big thank you to everyone who helped make Wednesday or best opening day ever! If you come to the show today then please swing by booth 2418. We look forward to seeing you.

02/14/2024

We are live! The Northwest Flower and Garden Festival is now open for the 2024 show and we are ready to go. This show is huge and there are a lot of amazing things to see. This is a great shopping experience too. We hope to see you here. If you can make it then please come find us in booth 2418 in the Plant Market area.

02/11/2024

TIME FOR THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR!!! Anyone who comes into the shop during the game (before we close at 5) and MENTIONS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, will receive full employee discount on items that are eligible for full employee discount (no tanks, furniture and kits). No other coupons or discounts can be used with this offer. Have fun and Go Team!!!

02/07/2024

It’s that time of year again! We will be in our usual spot (booth 2418) at the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival taking place at the Arch (original) Convention Center. We will have plenty of cool plants to choose from, premade palludariums and tabletop displays, and, yes, Swedish fish too. It should be a good show. We hope to see you there.

02/03/2024

Yes, we received a shipment of fishes from Asia several days ago and five dozen show grade male koi bettas came in. Now, you may ask yourself, “What is The Fish Store going to do with 60 animals that retail at $50 each?” Well, the answer is, “Nothing.” That’s because these 60 animals are on sale at $12.98 each! The patterns and colors are all unique, so come choose yours while you can.

Need to change your tank’s MOJO?
Then you might want to consider a DOJO
So that you don’t suffer from FOMO
Because YOLO.

02/03/2024

We still have the 90 gallon tank at a screaming deal. We just double checked the 48x18 stand we have in stock and it turns out that it is about a half inch too short both ways for the 90 gallon to fit. Now we are putting that stand on a clearance sale to move it, so if you have a tank that measures just under 48x18 then this is meant to be you next big purchase. We can still special order a stand that will hold the 90 gallon.

02/03/2024

Wait for it! And the love it. That’s a sargassum frogfish here at The Fish Store. We have it trained to eat frozen foods, but it will always accept live.

02/03/2024

Guess what we just got in! No, not that. These! Almond leaves from our local importer are now back in stock. This time around we are selling them in bags of 12, but will still have individual leaves available if that’s more your style. Get them while you can. They look good and smell great!

01/27/2024

Today’s freshwater shipment from Florida is also highlighted here by fancy imported guppies, imported platies, and emerald brochis cats. There are always other great looking animals available too, so swing by and check it all out.

01/27/2024

We received a freshwater shipment up from sources in Florida today. There are lots of cool looking plants right now including these two ginormous Monte Carlo mats and six smaller, dense mats of Java fern. If you grow plants or have wanted to grow plants then you will want to swing by and see what we got.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Fish Store.

They then returned with an accomplice at 5am. After unsuccessfully using a crowbar on the door and a kitchen torch on the glass, they ran away when they realized that they were being watched (by Dan). The police finally arrived, but couldn’t find them in the neighborhood.
