Aquarium Depot aka The Aquarium Center

[Steve001]

I started going to The Aquarium Center way back in the 80's. I was a loyal costumer for 20 years. At that time it was located further out on Liberty road even at that time it was a very good store, but small. For some reason I stopped visiting them sometime during the 2000's. Then I paid a visit in 2010. I was surprised to learn the TAC was no longer. I walked in and look around the store, I was very disappointed with AD. AD is but a mere shadow of The Aquarium Center. Perhaps the Aquarium Depot will rise to the same level of excellence that was The Aquarium Center.

I went to the Aquarium Depot today to get 5 Otocinclus affinis and there were no more than 100 fish for sale in the whole store, I got all the Oto's and forgot to get the single Rummynosed Tetra thet had that was a pale silver with no color in his nose or tail it was just sad. Some plants but most looked old, dying, or covered in diatoms, the palce was dirty and the staff were lazy except for one guy that got my fish and the guy on the dry goods side, but the cashier was reading a book and could not care less if I was ready to check out, mean while the driftwood bins had just junk left for sale and all the dirt and chunks in the bottom from the day the store opened, and I was the only customer. SAD, SAD, Sad, this used to be the best store in MD.
