I've had so many requests for people to come by this weekend I've just decided to open 1-6pm both days, come check out what's new and pick up a coral at 25% off!

05/02/2024

I'm sure you guys are tired of looking at lists of what's available.

So here's some of what's up for grabs at the store! Just a fraction, the rest are closed because I'm shuffling things around. I should know by now to photo before bothering them 🤦‍♂️

Available Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Reach out for an appointment! 🙂

Small order landing this evening from Quality Marine out of Los Angeles. I'll be reaching out to those with pre orders 😁

Unfortunately I got shorted 2 purple tangs so we may have to rock paper scissors for the one I got 😅

Another 2 orders coming very soon, the Cebu and Jakarta pre orders got delayed almost a week due to flights not lining up, they would have had massive layovers and nobody wants dead fish.

So if you're not buying your critters from Impact Aquariums where we source, transport, acclimate, medicate and feed like they're our own fish (because they are until they're yours), you're not buying the best! 😁

Pros 😎

👉 We can Pre-Order pretty much anything if you're patient, you find it online and I'll find it in person. Usually a timeline of 2 or so weeks. If you want an odd ball Eel, specific Coral, clams or seahorses, we could be 4 weeks or more.

👉 We don't undercut and seldom price match, our quality speaks for itself and no other store puts the effort in that I personally do.

‼️I'm more than happy to go into detail on this if anybody would like to know more - your fishes longevity starts with acclimation from overseas‼️

👉 If it doesn't eat, act normal or I have ANY concern it doesn't leave the store. Even if you pre-ordered and are super excited for your new pet. If I wouldn't put it in my frag tank, I'm not letting you put it in your tank.

👉 Being live animals, if somehow there is an issue I'll remedy it of brought to my attention within a timely fashion. I've eaten the cost of a lot of issues because I'm a hobbyist first and want people to remain in the hobby.

CONS 😱

👉 These are all live animals, that being said my supplier doesn't just pick it off a shelf like they do at Amazon and send it. They have to be farmed or fished. Have you ever gone fishing and not caught anything? Yeah unfortunately my suppliers too. Occasionally a pre order may take slightly longer. Typically I'll add a small credit or something to make up for it.

👉 Again being live animals, if they arrive dead you get a full credit and we either try again or you can apply it to something else (no refunds, credit only)

👉 Some animals only come from 1 supplier. Like yellow tangs. We can get them, they just won't be cheap.

👉 I'm only one man. I'm not always easy to get a hold of. Just text or email for fastest response. I have 16 missed calls in the past 24 hours alone.

👉 Lastly, we don't sell dog food, cat food, reptile food, bird food or anything else related to your other pets. Many see it as a con. I see it as a pro.

Our ONLY option is to pump out quality marine life and have been since 2015 😁

Air Canada have been looking for "missing" live coral since January 26th. While I have no expectations of finding these animals, I would expect air Canada to have at least an ounce of urgency.

03/17/2024

We've crammed almost 1000 gallons worth of aquariums into 180sq foot. Focusing on selling corals, anemones, fish both captive bred and wild, snails, crabs, shrimp & tons of other inverts. We also sell various aquariums, lighting and all the equipment you'd need but with limited stock kept on hand (180sq foot remember? 😅)

If we don't have it, we can likely get it!

Tons going on over here to kick off the new year! 😁

01/01/2024

Hope everyone had a safe and fun new years eve! How many of us have an aquarium related resolution? 🙋‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If you did make a choice to spend more money on your fish tank, our next few orders are underway!

First up is from Reef Wholesale. Tons of fish and inverts as well as lots of coral grown in house and over 200 WYSIWYG corals. You can view a lot of what's available on their site. But because they're wholesale you'll have to ask me for the price. I'll link the coral section 👇🏻

https://reefwholesale.myshopify.com/collections/corals

The following week we have an order from the Philippines. Always lots of CUC as well as anemones and one of the larger fish lists available to us. I don't have the updated list since it won't be accurate by next week but if you want fish reach out because this would be my selection personally.

Aiming to land the same day as the Philippines will be a box of goodies from Proaquatix. Including pulsing xenia, zoas, beautiful (expensive 🥲) anemones and others along with what they're known best for. Clownfish!! If you want a fancy one I usually bring in a selection but not many of each. So reach out and secure yours so I'll be sure to add a few extra to the order 😁

Please text or email only. It's very difficult to keep track of social media messages and comments so a lot get missed.

Thanks guys!
