    Here is after the kids got done with it.  Used to be an old gas station for the dry goods part.

    Yes lots of child labor.

    Friday night we didnt go work on the store because I had to get ready for Fall Fest.

    I figured everyone was ready for a break since we are there every night.

    Instead they were upset because we werent going to go work on the store.

    We painted the ceiling of the wet room black to light the fish & corals better.

    This large room will have two functions.  One for quarantine, one for fish breeding.

    The store is about 3 miles south of the Casino on 218 in Washburn

    We hope to open in about four weeks.

    We will cary saltwater only, no freshwater, no birds, cats, or dogs.

    We have aligned ourselves with several vendors. So far we have Vortechs, Octopus Skimmers, Rods Food, PE Mysis, Neptune controllers, Marco Rocks, Two little fishes, just to name a few

    Our goal is to keep 500 fish in stock at all times. Yes, I did say 500 fish.

    We will have everything from your $10 goby for your nano, to Purple tangs, exotic wrasses, and everything in between.

    Thanks, There are several rooms I dont have allocated yet.

    We are going to do a "soft" opening. That means we arent going to do alot of heavy advertising right away while we get the bugs worked out & the tanks stocked up. Once we are up to speed we will have a big grand opening. Hopefully in Jan or Feb.

    We plan on having a door buster deal twice a month where we mark stuff down to ridiculous prices. Also going to sell one live item at half price during your birthday week. We are working on a GIRS discount as well
