New store??

[Elite]

Saw a "new" store in Mountain View. It's on Castro St. Has anyone been there?? I think it's called Seascape or something like that.

 

[CookieJar]

Are you joking? Seascapes has been there longer than I've lived in mtn. view, and I've lived there for about a decade.

 

[phishphood]

Seaascape has been around a long time as has natural life aquariums in sunnyvale.

It wasn't there when I lived in Mountain View 15 years ago LOL .. I just saw it couple days ago ..

 

[slim_jim989]

Yeah I saw it there once I movd here. it has a small salt section and is priced up there. Dont try and get any tanks there there way over priced.

 

[zepplock]

Not a great customer service either. Stay away from it.

Maybe not in that location (only reason I say that is I thought they wanted to move a few years ago, if not, they've been there longer the 15 years) but they have been in business longer then 15 years and in Mountain View

They (Cloy(sp?) and Patrick) wanted to buy Cortez Marine when I worked there. IIRC she worked at Petco prior to buying Seascape.

LOL.. Maybe because I didn't pay much attention to fish store before ...

I'm sure there are places we just don't know of their existence; for instance HM Aquarium in San Francisco
If you ask on RC about aquariums in San Francisco, AC, LO, TR, even 6th Ave pops in

 

[GreshamH]

Ha speak for yourself There are very few I don't know about, but, it's my job to know or find LFS's

Fixed, that's probably why people don't answer HM when people ask about stores in SF, that and I get a real bad vibe when I'm in there, for some reason it seems they don't like me... I wonder why....

 

[GreshamH]

I got/get the same vibe.... but I got the same vibe at ATraders as well.

Is HM worth going to?

There's also that one on Broadway street (I think) Except they're never open during the times I'm in the area

Jeremy's right they moved across from the Cow Palace,; they were on Mission.

I won't go into HM anymore based on the way I've been treated (or ignored and stared at as the case may be) in the past.

Not worth it before the move. Haven't been after yet

 

[xcaret]

Now is more of a combined aquarium-pet store from the looks outside; they had mainly freshwater, some saltwater but can't recall seeing coral.

The coral is the barebones basic softies like Kenya, mushrooms, GSP, maybe xenia. Maybe SPS but if so they're brown- they don't have a tank nor lighting setup for corals.
