Pristine Aquariums closed

Yup, that's right. The shop in Alexandria has been bought out and closed.

[Coral Hind]

Wow! Any idea who bought them out?

There is already another thread on this, but thanks for sharing!

Welcome back reefmontalvo, haven't seen you in a while!

Thanks. I saw this referred to in another thread and immediately called them. It was confirmed. Yesterday was their last official day of being open.  It's not that business isn't good - business has been good and is growing. It's that the landlord wants more than they can give and still make the business case to stay open. So, rather than moving on, they're shutting down. That's the story as of fifteen minutes ago, at least.

Thanks Dave. Yeah it has been a minute. But I am back. On the Aquaculture side now. That's how I knew about Pristine but due to legal paperwork I cannot tell you whom the person that bought them out and shutdown the store.

Wonder if they'll offer up equipment during the shutdown.  Inquire for us?

[reefmontalvo]

Yeah.............. one could only wish. I know things went super cheap. There were 300 gpd Ro units goind for $25. Lots of stuff went super cheap they had to sell it all and fast.

Sad to hear this. I've been trying to reach out to Phil and/or the other staff but the only number I have is disconnected.

 

Phil / PA staffers, we have openings.
