great marine store asheville nc

newreefguy · 03-23-2009, 11:09 AM

I live in asheville, NC. And I go to a extremely knowledgeable LFS Named the asheville aquarium. I bought a Nova extreme 1126 model light setup when I first got my aquarium going not knowing which direction I wanted to go, Reef or fowlr.
So when I decided to go reef and updrade lighting to Nova extreme 1081-
6 tube HO t-5 . They let me trade the old one back in and gave me the ORIGINAL
Price paid for it minus the cost of one t5 bulb. (The 1081 ) arrived with a broken bulb. So we took one out of the old fixture. AND knocked $100 off price of new fixture...
They have told me on several occasions that a piece of equipment is not nessecary for a tank my size and lightly stocked. When they could've just sold it an made more money. The store and all its tanks are generally extremely clean.
These are good people....

Thanks for the GREAT remarks. I enjoy hanging out at TAA and consider Dave a friend and one heck of a conscientious aquarist.
