Good morning everyone and HAPPY MONDAY...

QUICK UPDATE ON OPENING.

It's been hard, fun, painful, sad, maddening and exciting all in one.

Despite the many obstacles with City/Canada post (adding an actual address, shipping logistics, sore bones, tired bodies, we're almost ready.

Tanks will be filled this week,🤞 orders have been places for both plants and livestock and signs getting ready for the storefront. Now just waiting On a few important elements to be able to put the open signed up.

If all goes to plan, doors will be open in around 10 days.

Here's hoping plans work this last stretch.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing the new awesome larger space with you.

Keep following and please feel free to message us on messenger with any questions.

Alot of people wondering how to keep tanks cooler or at least at temp they want.

Truth is, it's very difficult and o e of the more dangerous things is the warmer the water the less the oxygen. Most fish will be fine wit the gradual increase, but throw an extra airborne in there to pump the bubbles up for the exchange.

Here's a few things I do...

1st thing I suggest is KEEP LIGHTS OFF. despite of the LED crazy... they still give off heat.

2nd frozen water bottles to float (filled with primed water in case they leak).

3rd the obvious one is fans, but some cheap PC cooling fans built into a little frame will do wonders as well.

Fish are very adaptable, inverts maybe not so much.

Do your best with what you can.

Hello everyone.

Closer and closer... new tanks almost ready, existing tanks are being scraped down from the old blue backgrounds and painted black.

50+ tanks to scrape down and recoat. Tedious and boring yes, but very necessary for the new space and new look.

Almost there.... Please be patient with us. We miss you all as much as you miss us. New video will be coming very soon, in the meantime... you get my ugly Mug scraping and painting 😆 🤣 😂

Good morning all you fishkeeper friends.

The light is getting brighter at the end of a long 8 weeks... I can almost see the tanks getting ready for filling.

A few logostic issues with shipping materials late. Yes, i know, shipping delays, no such thing! Lol... but we have most all of the tanks out, new tanks almost ready and lots more happening g still.

The biggest challenge was getting out 8ft display out of the warehouse and I to the tiny door at the front of the new store.

It was fun (not), but a HUGE sigh of relief to see it in it's final resting space.

Hope you are all enjoying this heatwave and staying hydrated.

Enjoy your warm weather week amd we'll post again soon.

In the meantime...

Hello everyone. As you all know, we're in the middle of a huge move.

We have been diligently working away at the new space while Mitch frantically holds down the fort helping you all with what we can in store.

Our last day open at the old location will be Thursday, June 27, 2024.

As we have experienced some short (not so short) delays with construction. Yes I know construction delays, unheard of 😆 🤣 😂. Our original plans for Canada day soft open has been squashed 😔. But the show must go on.

That being said, we will be closed from June 29-mid July. We will gladly help everyone through our messenger amd website with in stock items that are available in between that time for pickup or delivery.

While we will be building and getting things ready over the next few weeks, we will let you all know when we can have you come see us at the new location shortly after that.

We anticipate mid july for people to come through amd see what's going on and the new space. But keep an eye on the page and website with updates.

New location address is 12247-Fort Road.
We will be nestled right between Bumper to Bumper and our great friends over at Hydro-Lite Hydroponics & Garden Supplies

Now for the fun stuff...

As we will have a substantial increase in tank space, we invite you all to send us your freshwater wish list.

What types of livestock, plants, foods, equipment, etc would you like to see.

Let's build the store up based on your wants and wishes in the aquarium hobby.

Thank you all for your continued support through this transition. It's going to be a great new experience for everyone.
