Awesome!! what's the new location?
5350 Commerce Blvd suite F about 500 yards north of the old shop we are directly across the 101 freeway from Scandia fun center. You can see us from the freeway.

I liked the old name but I believe the name had to be changed.
We also liked the old name, unfortunately it had to much baggage left from the previous owners.

Nice looking glass frag tanks. What are the dimensions? Who were they made by?
The tanks were made by Mode in Southern California. The dimensions are 3’.6’.1’ we have 4 in total. With 2 systems pushed together so they look like they’re 3 x 12. Our rack systems are also made by Mode. We decided to lift them 12 inches so we would have enough space to run the plumbing into what will be our filtration room.

Are you guys selling livestock?
Not yet, but soon. We just passed our fire inspection and building inspection. This allow us to get our business license this week as well as our resale permit. We are in the process of applying to wholesale accounts and plan on putting our first order in next week. Our first livestock orders will be coming from ORA and Biota so our livestock will be pre-quarantined. Moving forward we will quarantine everything that comes into the store. Realistically, it will be about 4 to 6 weeks before we’re able to start stocking our tanks. We’re hoping to open 1st March offering dry goods and inverts as we do have some cycled rock that should give us a Headstart.

When will you have Biota Marine Fish?

I would guess 4-6 weeks from March 1 based on this earlier answer.

Hope everything is going great with the opening! Any updates on saltwater livestock?
Also are you providing any quarantined/ medicated fish?
Thanks

Unfortunately the 1/2 Hp Dolphin brand pump we are using to run the system didn’t work after installing on Monday of last week still waiting on a replacement so we can begin our cycling process.

Gentle reminder always purchase a backup pump would have been a nightmare if the tanks were full of fish.

Yes all of our animals will go through a QT process in our dedicated QT room.
