Hey guys.

Don’t forget you can catch me at Fish and Feather, 243-245 Colchester Road in Kilsyth.

And you can catch up with Miss M and Luke 😉 working at the new Hi-Fin Aquarium now located at 63 Blackburn Road, Mt Waverley.

We have seen so many of our old Boronia Aquarium customers in the 3 years since we closed the store. It’s always good to catch up with our Boronia Aquarium friends 😊

Hey guys.
Chris here 'Boss Man'
I wanted to let you all know that I've been employed by Fish And Feather to manage and revamp their aquarium section. If you have been looking for a good place to shop where you can get the service and advice that you were used to at Boronia Aquarium then head down to Fish And Feather in Kilsyth and see me.
I've started stocking some of the products you were used to at Boronia and will be putting more in over the next few weeks. I've already begun stocking our old range of KH powders and our plant guys are supplying us the quality plants you'd expect from me.
I'll be re plumbing the Fish And Feather tanks and installing new filtration and lighting over the next 3-4 weeks so bare with us while I'm working on those.

We'll be building up the Bettas and live foods too.
Come in and say hello and let me know if there is anything you are chasing for your aquariums.
I'll be in store at Fish And Feather Sunday's - Thursday's every week.

Im looking forward to seeing you guys there soon.

Cheers
Chris aka Boss Man :-)

For all of you who have been asking about live Blackworms, I am planning on placing an order for delivery this week.
I can meet you in Boronia for pickup, or I can deliver locally, for a small fee.
If you are interested please email me at [email protected] and I'll see what I can organise for you :-)
I'm offering the same sizes as we had at the shop, so single serve, double serve and 100ml serves.
I should also be able to get hold of freeze dried worms too, if you are interested.
MissM!

A notice to all our Boronia Aquarium friends and followers.

Due to a whole number of different reasons, we are very sad to announce that Boronia Aquarium will not be re-opening. We've had a number of battles to fight over the last couple of years, but after all this time those battles finally got the best of us.

We would like to thank all of our customers for your support over the last 17 years, and a very special mention goes out to those of you who followed us from our old store in Ferntree Gully. You helped us make Boronia Aquarium one of the best aquarium stores in Australia. We feel very lucky to have made some lifelong friends from many of our customers and suppliers alike.
The last week has been incredibly stressful on the two of us, and we cannot express just how grateful we are to the few friends we were able to confide in for their support. Especially the team of suppliers, family and friends who turned up Sunday night to help us catch and bag all of the fish, then move Luke and his tank. We literally would not have been able to do that without you and we are so grateful.

For those of you who are concerned about our boy Luke, he has moved to a new tank and is going to be living with one of our fish suppliers (who has graciously allowed MissM! permission to visit him whenever she likes) We are confident that he will be happy and well cared for in his new home. He's already settling well and back to his usually piggy self eating lots of veges :-)

We have decided to leave this page open for now and we'll keep you up to date if we stay in the industry or what we are up to.
Also, if there are any products that you are after feel free to message us here and we'll do our best to direct you to the right places to help you out.
MissM! Is going to do her best to keep the blackworms going so you can email her at [email protected] if you're interested on going on the list.

Once again, thank you all!

Bossman and MissM!

Hey all,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have lots of yummy blackworms in stock, but we also got a delivery of live Brine Shimp this afternoon too!

SALE…..SALE…..SALE…

Our store renovations have been pushed back by a couple of weeks, but Bossman has decided to push ahead with our big planned sale anyway (we still need to clear almost half the shop for the workmen, and we need to shut down a whole bay of tanks)

From now (Tuesday 9th of Feb) until the end of trade Sunday 14th of Feb we are having a massive sale!
50% off all fish
30% off almost everything else!!!!

Plus, many of our display tanks are marked to clear (we really don’t want to have to move them)
The sale prices do not apply to anything that is already part of a package deal, or stock that has already been reduced.
Sorry, no holds, no laybys, no special orders

05/02/2016

Hey Everyone,

Bossman says it's time for a sale, so he's organized a beauty!
This weekend only (sat 6th and sun 7th of February ) we are doing 50% off all fish!
The discount applies to the original prices only, not to any special prices, or package deals. Prices apply to stock in store only, no special orders.
So if your tank needs to be re-stocked, this weekend is an excellent time to visit :-)

Bossman has been cleaning out the 'spare parts' box and came up with a whole load of Eheim parts he just wants to clear out.
There's heaps of stuff, some of it we're not 100% sure what it is :-) Lots of parts starting from $2
It's all marked to clear.
It's all Cash Only sales
It's all no refund or exchange
It's all gotta go, so come on in and grab some ridiculous bargains!!!!

I was looking though an old box of filter spare parts today and came across these Fluval Canister clips.
These have to be 20 years old.

Who remembers when Fluval Canister Filters were brown ?
