Aqualand or adams?

The best selection of cleanup crew and price, that I've personally noticed anyway, is at Sea of Marvel. Hung sells Astrea snails and blue-legged crabs 12 for $10. That's a good price anywhere. He also has emerald crabs for $6....also a good price.
I've been to both Adams and Aqualand. You'll find several posts in this forum on those two places....and for every post, there are 20 opinions about each store. If it were me, I'd go to Aqualand.

 

when i went to aqualand and asked them some qusetions about a animal that they had, they didn't have any info at all, i asked them about a coral they had in there coral tank and they had no idea what kind it was. adams might be a little more expensive but at least you know you are getting quality products that have been properly taken care of. just my experience

 

How long has Aqualand had saltwater? Last I knew they were freshwater only...then again I haven't been inside that place in ages.

 

I think I had a momentary lapse in memory.....it's not Aqualand that I went to...it was Iowa Pet Foods and Seascapes. Here's a writeup of the trip that I took to Des Moines. There are many other posts as well though.

yeah aqualand is pure freshwater and other critters.

 

as far as which place to visit, currently Seascapes is remodelling so not sure how that is going but they are moving all their fish and stuff. they still have stuff in stock just not sure on the abundance

 

Seascapes is the place to visit. They support GIRS and we should support them. Nothing against Adams though, if you could visit two places I would go there second. Neither place is probably going to have great prices to get a complete clean up crew. I would reccomend posting for a group buy in your area from reefs2go or Reeftopia. Aqualand has always been freshwater only that I know of.

 

sorry i meant pet foods and seascapes not aqualand. i apologize for the error, seascapes is the one with the shark tank right? well shark pond

 

Although, not a supporter of GIRS, IMHO Adams has the best quality fish. I do support both stores on a regular basis. But when i walk in and see dead fish in display tanks, fish scratching on the substrate and tangs with pinched stomachs and no algae matter to graze on throughout the day, I won't buy any fish from that store. Support or not, I look for quality and proper care of the animals.
