In Living Color Aquariums

hey all you reefers in NY, NJ, Pa, and Delaware. get ready to feast your eyes on a monster store bout to open up in South Jersey. please welcome Ed and Jay to the wonderful world of LFS ownership.i got a personal tour of the store, and i must say that this is on the grand scheme. to quote Ed, "i want to open the store I aways wanted to see."

when you walk in, its not a store, but a living room of tanks.







walking to the side, there is a room filled with tanks



this is more than enough to impress,,,but wait,,,,where do these stairs lead? the basement is also filled with tanks and an incredible filtration room overseen by Kyle, formerly of the National Aquarium, in Baltimore.





are you tired yet,,,hope not cause Ed and Jay have a lot more instore for everyone across the country, next door they are going to have the frag/growout/internet sales operation. sorry no pics of this set up yet, still being painted and tanks on the floor.

all i can say is WOW!! this is a monumental aspiration and i expect to see many different state license plates in the parking lot. and to top it all off,,,they are 10 minutes from my house!!

Re: In Living Color Aquariums

Very nice looking place. I would be so jealous if I hadn't just reccently discovered a four star LFS like this one in my area. Actually, it is one that I have been going to for awhile, but they moved to a new facility a year or so ago and this is the first chance I got see it. I hope other aquarium places take notice. It has long been a pet peeve of mine that most aquarium shops are junked-up and have lousy customer service. Most places I go to are cramped and look like they haven't been cleaned and reorganized since the 70's. Also, I can't tell how you many LFS have lost sales from me because I wandered around for 30 mins of more without even being greeted by an employee, much less asked if I need any assistance. It also pleases me greatly to see more places interested in aquaculturing specimens.
