Overall Experience 3.5 Cost 4 Quality of Fish 3.5 Variety 4 Service 3.5 I still continue to shop at this store when I can and I’ve noticed some improvements over time. Employees have come and gone but seem to generally enjoy the aquarium hobby and are friendly. The layout has changed...

Yeah, it's too bad he had to close down. I did enjoy looking at all the cichlids he had.

Yes. You saw my post too. Thanks!

Overall Experience 5 Cost 5 Quality of Fish 5 Variety 4 - I still need to purchase some supplies elsewhere Service 5 I've been by numerous times now. Well worth the drive! Cory and his staff have set the standard for what a fish store should be! :) I'm always impressed with how clean the...

Overall Experience 3 Cost 4 Quality of Fish 3 Variety 3 Service 2 They sell freshwater and saltwater fish, food and supplies, live plants, and dog/cat food and supplies. There are some pond fish, snails, plants, etc. as well. After Clark's burned down this has been the only local pet store...

I used to stop by now and then as I was driving by but it seems they have now closed. Looks like there's an antique store there now.

I am sad that I can't go look at fish anymore, but there is a new pet store too. :)

Not sure why they ended up in the spray bar holes, but it hasn't happened again so far. :)

I tried a corner matten from swiss tropicals for the first time and they seem awesome! I'm a big fan of sponge filters with water pumps agitating the surface rather than air stones. They are quiet and I don't end up with as much water splashing up on the cover, so it doesn't grow algae as much...

An update to the outside 20 gallon: It grew lots of algae! lol The white clouds lived, but I didn't get any babies as far as I could tell. One issue seemed to be that glass aquariums got a lot of sunshine to grow algae. This year, I'm going to try a half wine barrel in a shadier area with some...

I've had a 20 long set up with ADA Aquasoil, mote carlo, and some christmas and riccia mosses since January. I did water changes and let it cycle before adding some fish. I put in a couple guppies, 10 white clouds, and a couple large amano shrimp from another aquarium after the cycle seemed to...

Overall Experience: 5 Cost: 4 Quality of Fish: 5 Variety: 4 Service: 5 This was my second visit. I called ahead of time and was told there were some Australian Rainbowfish, but what they failed to tell me was that they were still in quarantine and were not on the floor yet. So, the main fish I...

Overall Experience 4 Cost 5 Quality of Fish 5 Variety 5 Service 3 I ordered online in late 2016. The fish arrived healthy and I still have some of them. Two of the 3 eels ordered did not make it, but only because they were wild caught and would not eat well. One of them became quite friendly...

Thanks Roy! The only issue I'm wondering about is the low solubility of calcium sulfate in high pH. The Calcium Nitrate can dissolve quickly, but from what I understand it can also react with sulfates. So, it may not work out well dosing at the same time, especially in smaller aquariums. Then...

2 drops for KH and 3 drops for GH ph appears to be between 7.2 and 7.6. It was a bit lower in the aquarium than tap water So, what I wonder now is if using some of the GH booster will affect the pH. I would hope that it wouldn't raise it even more, but it might help stabilize it. Any idea on...
