Just received a shipment of Bubble Tips 100s to choose from. Reloaded on those absolutely adorable inverts. Friendly service and honest advice always with a smile. June is full for tank sitting but we still have openings for July, reach out and save your spot on the calendar. PRICE DROP on a 220 Water Box with all the bells and whistles including lights along with all the equipment you need and even some just because you want it! All high quality and clean. Ready to move. Call store for details. Have a great evening. See you soon😊

Doors are open and we're psyched to lay eyes on you. Fish are fin-tastic, corals are radiant, and inverts are scurrying about. Freezer's bursting with grub and shelves are overflowing, along with salt and RODI to quench the thirst of even the most parched tank. It's scorching outside but our A.C. is cranked so you can bask in the salty scene without breaking a sweat or dealing with the sand and crowds. Have a fantastic day. See you soon😊
