Alright everybody we are back, parking is extremely limited still as the city works to remove snow so be mindful and resourceful if you plan on coming out.

Consider doing curbside pickup if you're sure of things you may need! Call ahead, DM us we'll get you and your fish taken care of.

If you're looking for plants remember we ship from the website to the New England area with orders generally arriving next day! www.aquastetics.com

This has been a tough month with snow closures and shipping delays so patience is a virtue. We thank everyone as we try to beat back mother nature!

Alright everybody it's happening again, tomorrow we will be closed due to the impending snowpocalypse we are expecting.

We will see you all potentially on Tuesday as we evaluate the second dig out of the year 😬
