Brian,

Where do you go for supplies as far as LFS? I remember Fishman being much better, but it seems that they've cutback on supplies since I was last there. I still try and go there to give them the business. I think I am going to check out AquariumCenter in Clementon, NJ this weekend. I also plan to check out eastcoastaquatics in Prospect Park, PA.

I gotta join the Filstar Pimp Club. I'm rockin an XP3

I like a couple of stores. Petsmart and Greenbank aquarium. I have also bought from the Fishman. Another really nice store just opened in Newark called Premium Aquatics. But I think the best store anywhere near us is That Pet Place. You can't beat their prices locally and they are really large (like BJ's). The only thing is that they are about 1 to 1 1/2 hours away in Lancaster, PA.

If you have never been there you have to check it out. Plan a day trip to Lancaster. They have a large fish room that also includes a room dedicated to freshwater plants.

I just went to eastcoastaquatics yesterday. All nice folks. They have some really nice stuff. I picked up some Madagascar Lace. Here's to hoping it works. My wife went to college in Elizabethtown, PA in the heart of Lancaster so I know the trip well. Not a bad drive at all. Plus there is a Fuddruckers by the outlets so that is also a plus

Where does everybody get their CO2 refilled? I don't want to trade out my nice bottle for a dumpy one thats got slag and junk all over it from welders at the welding shops.

I work at the PetSmart in Dover. Usually our plants are pretty healthy and growing well(it's part of my job lol).
Hope to see you there!

I'm Aubrey. I'm the short blonde one lol. I'm always talking to someone while running around crazily. I usually work monday morning, but this week I did work 4pm-10pm.

 

[ccattie]

I'll make sure to say hello. I actually stopped in last night to get two more peppered corys to go along with my other peppered's.

[Aubzilla]

I didn't work last night. :icon_sad: But I do work tonight, Saturday till 11:30am(lol) and then pretty much all day Sunday. Not much of a social life this weekend.
Hopefully I will be bringing home a 40 gallon long tomorrow afternoon. I am going to look at one after I get off of work. Its a steal at $60 bucks for a tank, stand, hood, light and most of all the necessary equipment! :bounce: Can't wait!

Newark DE baby nice to see I'm not alone.

When I wanna drive I go to thatfishplace in Lancaster PA for supplies or I order online. The only thing I buy locally are fish from the fishbowl owned again by the original owners or petsmart.

Hey Aubzilla, the first time I bought plants from you guys my tank was invaded by snails. I had to buy a couple Botias from you guys to clean out the snails. That was six years ago, haven't had a problem lately.
Hope to see you there!

Go to school (UD) in Newark. I often venture over to Premium Aquatics...Might venture over there on Friday and see if they have any nice Black Phantom Tetras.
