It's crunch time! 6 weeks to go and things are moving rapidly now.

We got the three biggest tanks and the shark pool put on their stands.

Soon the plumbing starts. How does over 100 elbows and T's sound? :) Not to mention bulkhead fittings, valves and bushings.

A little information on the store. It's a total of 3900 sq. ft.

The showroom is 1600 sq. ft. the Holding facility is 400 square feet the shipping/class room and the back room make up the difference. There is room to grow if need be.

It's actually 3 buildings combined into one address. This all used to be part of a large antique store and auction house.

Lot's of history in this town and this building.

About Main Street Aquariums

I was given my first aquarium in 1973 at the age of 5. That tank had a few plants, neon tetras, and a cory cat in it and sparked a love of aquariums that never subsided. Instead it started a passion to learn more and more about keeping marine life and understanding it’s needs.

In 1989, I started my first reef tank and quickly learned that it takes a whole new skill set to keep this type of aquarium thriving. I went from novice to being one of the first to successfully breed 7 varieties of clown fish in captivity in the mid 1990’s. I have consulted on many articles, designs of products, and testing of products over the years. I worked in several pet stores through the years, never happy with how things were set up or done. I knew that one day I would start my own store dedicated to aquarium keeping and education. This is where the idea for Main Street Aquariums came from.

Being able to help aquarists become successful and enjoy the hobby is another passion. I assist and mentor aquarists online and in person. My main goals are to ensure the animals are well taken care of and health, and to help aquarists enjoy the hobby as much as I do. I hope you enjoy visiting the store and talking with me and those who will be helping out. It’s a community of knowledgeable, personable folks who love this hobby.
