Hilary April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 I've stopped by several times. Every time there are more fish (as he's finished his tanks and quarantine setup), and more corals, which are a nice mix of basics and some very cool stuff. He has a nice selection of frozen foods, and has been very willing to "talk tanks" and let me pick his brain. I'll be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLazar April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 We anticipate becoming repeat/regular customers. Sean has a great set-up, is incredibly knowledgeable, has a great selection and good pricing for some nice sized pieces of coral (we were there just after opening and fish were somewhat limited). He also offers Wamas members a 10% discount. We're going back soon. There are some great comments on "Vendor Forums" under "The Aquarium Company".

Maureen I went there yesterday, Had the best experience I've ever had in a pet store, and i've been in many pet stores. I t was clean the staf was nice, I got word of things coming in the following week. For being open for 5 day's I think sean has a great reef store. Great start and Good Luck Sean I doubt you'll need it everything looks better then any other reef place 've ever been into. Mike PS. Everything is nice and clean.

Connor April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 So far I've been their twice and have had good experiences both times. The service was great and Sean is always willing to stop and talk to you whenever you want to talk tanks or ask a question. There fish selection increased dramatically (as they broke in their quarintine systems) between the first and second time I went their and I've been very impressed with what they have brought in so far. I also talked to Sean and he said that they will be bringing in rarer fish over the next couple of weeks as they work out all the bugs they may find in their system. He also said that he is willing to special order any fish that they do not have in stock for you. So so far my experience is 2 thumbs up.

stratos21ss April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 I found the store and Sean's knowledge and friendly service top notch in all respects. It is great to have another advanced reefing oriented store in the area. _Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gastone April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 Chip, I got the bike (I ain't paying for gas in the Bronco). It's raining. I ain't going today. Call me a sissy if you want. I'm okay with that. G. But if you want to defer for a week or two I'll definitely be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde April 20, 2008 Author Share April 20, 2008 Just came back from the store. First time there and it will not be my last. Sean was great. My 5 year old little girl and I stopped by to get some live stock for our nano tank and it couldn't have been a better experience. I am new to salt water and he had great advice and didn't talk down to me at all(which can happen with a newbie). If you haven't been you should go. Thanks!

DaisyDo April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 I have to agree with every thing said about Sean and his new store. I've been there several times and he has been more then helpful. I am also a newbie and he gives such personal service that I'll be a regular. Be sure to stop by next Saturday for his Grand Opening.

treesprite April 20, 2008 Share April 20, 2008 Now if he would move it up a few counties that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQUACO April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 (edited) Now if he would move it up a few counties that would be nice. Thanks for all of the kind words! Im working really hard....but when you love what you do its not work! PS....working on expansion already. I have quite a few people interested in investing and opening in Maryland, hopefully more to come in the next few months! Closed all week to prepare for the grand opening next saturday. I have some good things planned, I think it would be worth stopping by. I will be posting all week as more info on special livestock become available! Thanks for all of the great feedback, I promise great things to come! Kind words make the 14 hour days feel so much better! Kind Regards!

MLazar April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 Sean, Sorry we can't make your Grand Opening celebration, we'll be out of town all weekend. Perhaps we can stop in the week following................if there is anything left! Best wishes, Maureen ps- if you're willing to open an additional store up north I think it only fair you consider opening up a 3rd further south............. just food for thought.
