    For those of you who stopped at the store today during the tank tour.


    I would appreciate some feedback & suggestions.  (remember still work in progress)


    What would you like to see stocked both live goods & dry goods.




    Thanks again

    Well me & the kids "camped" there last night. That floor is hard & my back still hurts.

    There are a ton of little rooms I could easily turn into a one man condo!

    My wife thought that some sort of classes/demonstrations for newbie to advanced level topics... since you might have the space for it. Maybe a once a month thing to help bring people into the store. Vendors could showcase new products. People new to the hobby might be looking for some sort of support system.

    Crap, we should have drilled a tank while everyone was there! There's about 50 of them we've got to drill this week!

    The store looked great. It was a big change from the last time I saw it. I really like that you are going to carry high quality merchandise that you cant really get other than online shopping. Just keep on keeping on, it will be great.

    It might be kinda cool to have a mid-sized home brew operation onsite and sell it. Ignoring the costs and PITA of dealing with the state liquor board, it would be awesome. You could have your own line of reef related brews like 'Anthias Ale' or 'Blue Stripe Hermit Hops'

    Also plumbing parts. I would love to be able to find reef specific plumbing parts at my LFS. Things like Jaco and John Guest fittings. RO/DI auto shut off valves, float swithes, icemaker lines. Schedule 80 bulkheads, gasgets, ball valves. Silicone. Glass sheets cut to size.

    Also store hours. I have almost given up on a great LFS. If it is open and I am in the area....great. But I can't plan a roadtrip there because the hours are inconsistent. I even bought some crabs from Petland out of desparation. ( I don't like their corporate history with dogs)

    Thanks

    Store hours will be 11-7 Mon-Sat, Sun 11-5.

    And yes we will be there when we are supposed to.

    I guess I could use the DOA fish in the Sushi Bar? I head lionfish is really good

    +1 and I've worked for them for the past 8 years (stuffed in the fish cave naturally)
    Plumbing parts is key! I'd also like to see oceans motions water directors!
    Also, reef magazines, (so I can salvage missed issues between subscription renewals), and some awesome fish murals on the walls. Prehaps a Jason Mathias?
