Where do we start? Rob and I would like to thank everyone who made this year's Chattanooga Area Aquatic Society's annual swap meet such a huge success. We would like to recognize some of the very important people and businesses that made it all possible!! So here goes ... THANK YOU to:

All the hobbyists who turned out !!! All the work that goes into a swap like this is meaningless without the support from you all, both freshwater and saltwater, enthusiasts. There were people representing other groups from Atlanta , Knoxville, and all points in between and beyond!!

Ethan Dickson, his staff, and all the volunteers from the CAAS that gave their time and energies in setting up, advertising, collecting raffle items from national and local companies and soooo much more.

Local Coffee, once again, for opening their facility up to us and providing the CAAS with tables and chairs to accommodate all the vendors who turned out to show and sell their goods.

East Ridge Elementary School for allowing overflow parking in their parking lot. Last year, parking was at a premium so the ERES deserves a huge thank you for their permission.

Thank you to all the individuals and companies that supplied a wide assortment of items for our raffles. Also, to everyone who purchased the raffle tickets which help to secure venues and supplies for all CAAS events.

The swap was a huge success but please do remember your LFSs are here year round and very much appreciate your business.
We would encourage everyone to SUPPORT LOCAL small businesses, whenever possible. Thanks once again !!!

Aquatic Aesthetics would like to take a moment to wish all the Fathers a "Happy Father's Day". Whether you have children of your own, helping to raise someone else's children, or volunteer your time and energy in helping to raise the next generation, know that the role you play today can make a positive impact on some child's life tomorrow. For our Fathers still with us and those that have passed on, again, Happy Father's Day.
Happy Father's Day, Johnny Johnson!!
Happy Father's Day in Heaven, Clarence Pickett!!

Announcement: Jolie's New Position at the Tennessee Aquarium

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the departure of Jolie, who has accepted an exciting new position at the Tennessee Aquarium. While we are sad to see her go, we are incredibly proud of her accomplishments and the new opportunities that await her.

Jolie has been a valued member of our team for over three and a half years. Her dedication, hard work, and positive attitude have made a significant impact on our organization. From her first day with us, Jolie demonstrated exceptional skills and a commitment to excellence that has only grown over time.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Jolie and wish her all the best in her new role at the Tennessee Aquarium. We know she will continue to achieve great things and inspire those around her. And honestly, I've never seen her happier. Look at that smile!

Please join us in celebrating Jolie's accomplishments and wishing her success in this new chapter of her career.

Aquatic Aesthetics will be closing at 4pm on Sunday, March 24th. We apologize for the closing but we will be attending a memorial service for Rob's brother. James Johnson, who passed away this week. Jim fought for 20 years of his life against three forms of cancer, liver failure, and ultimately kidney failure. For his perseverance, Jim is an example to us all. He reminds us that we should never give up and never stop fighting. Please, if you believe in the power of prayer, pray for Rob's family and join us in celebrating the life of a truly inspirational man, Jim Johnson.

After careful consideration, Aquatic Aesthetics has decided to close today, Tuesday, January 16th, due to safety issues and concerns. We do apologize for the short notice but believe our decision to be our best course of action for both ourselves and our customers. The main roads may be clear but, as of yet, our local neighborhood's roads remain frozen. Our plan is to be open our regular business hours tomorrow but we will post if anything changes. Please, if you must be out today, be extra careful because we want everyone safe and well.

Several people have called today asking for storm advice related to their fish tanks. Without power back-up it will be a bit of a challenge. Should power go out, wrap your tank with a blanket as soon a possible. You should check your fish frequently to verify they are getting enough oxygen. If your fish are at the top of the water and look to be gasping or working their gills harder than normal, then they are lacking oxygen. You can get some into the water by filling a glass from the tank and pouring it back in multiple times. from a height of about 12 inches. This advise is most helpful for short term outages. Anything longer than several hours will require heating water with a cooker of some type and a battery operated air pump. Good luck tomorrow guys.

12/31/2023

Aquatic Aesthetics will be open today. December 31,2023, from 12pm-5pm in order that our staff may ring in the New Year safely with their families. May the coming year be everything you hope for and more !! Thank you for your continued support today and everyday!!

12/20/2023

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that helped us fill our Toys for Tots box!! Some child here in our area will appreciate and remember your generosity!! Remember, generosity comes in many forms. It can be something as simple as a smile or a kind word!! May we all be the giver and receiver of generosity not just this holiday season but all year round!!

12/19/2023

We will be open our regular hours,12pm-6pm, this Christmas Eve to give our customers the opportunity to pick up those last minute fish keeping gifts including our gift cards (any denomination and rechargeable)!!

Got a fish keeper on your Christmas Shopping List ?!? Pick them up a Gift Card today at Aquatic Aesthetics. There is no amount limit and the card can be recharged once the balance has been depleted!!

Hope to see you all at the store !!

12/07/2023

We would like to thank everyone who has helped us fill our USMC Toys for Tots Box!!! There is more room in the box, however. Time is of the essence at this point as collection boxes are being picked up beginning December 9th. Remember, a new and unwrapped toy is all that is asked of you. We realize how tight things are for everyone but even the smallest of gifts can go a long way in assuring that a child does not go without on Christmas morning. Thank you again for your support and may God bless you all this holiday season and always!! We hope to "see you at the store"!!

Tomorrow, Saturday,November 25th, is Small Business Saturday. Move on over big box stores. It is Small Businesses' day to shine!! Don't forget to shop local whenever possible!! Aquatic Aesthetics will be taking an additional 10% off all purchases as our way of saying "thank you" for shopping with us all year round!! Don't forget your new unwrapped toy for the USMC Toys for Tots to receive your free sample of Sera O-Nips (while supplies last). We "hope to see you at the store" everyone!!

11/24/2023

So we only have about two to three more weeks until our USMC Toys for Tots event will end and the toys collected by our local USMC Reserves. Please remember those children that are less fortunate and donate an unwrapped new toy. It doesn't matter how much you spend because in the hands of a happy child, the toy is priceless. An act of kindness, today, can go a long way in the life of the child that receives it. To show our appreciation, Aquatic Aesthetics will give you a sample of Sera's O-Nips fish treats (while supplies last). Thank you Sera for making this possible.

11/24/2023

We will resume regular business hours on Friday, the 24th.Aquatic Aesthetics, but especially Rob and I, would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made our small business successful so far. Five years ago, my parents past away. With a small sum that they left behind, we opened up and took a chance of investing in ourselves and our fish-fam community. Thank you all for helping us make them proud of us. We are grateful to the rest of our family, friends, and fish-fam for being supportive of us as we continue down this path we have decided to walk. May we all always be thankful and grateful for the blessings in our lives!! Bright blessings to you and yours !!

If you haven't seen Spikes' posting, they are offering 10% off their corals to anyone that donates to this year's USMC Toys for Tots!! All it takes is a new and unwrapped toy to make the season a little brighter for children and your reef tank!! Aquatic Aesthetics will also be kicking in a few thank you gifts for your donations to such a worthy cause. We hope to "See you at the store"!!
