HOPE EVERYONE STAYED SAFE AND UNHARMED!

Hello, we will remain open for the remainder of the day with our normal hours 10-6 .We will not be recieving feeder fish this week due to the storm and traffic cutting off possibility for delivery. We will be closed this Wednesday for the storm and at this time we are unsure about Thursday, we will post an update about reopening time. Take this time to prepare your home and check in on your neighbors and loved ones to make sure they are prepared as well. We have a couple dual battery backup airpumps left in stock. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

Hello there, we hope everybody is prepared for the upcoming storm. Just wanted to share a few quick tips for keeping your aquarium healthy if you lose power.

-Prior to the storm do a 25-30 percent water change, make sure to gravel vac any debris in the tank. This will ensure water quality and oxygen levels are as best as possible.

-Do not feed fish for 24 hours, during the storm or if the power goes out. I know we all care and think feeding them is a good thing but during this time we need pristine water quality. Feeding your tank will cause ammonia levels to rise as well as oxygen levels to drop during a power outage.

-If possible use a battery operated air pump or some source of external power to run your filters. If you are not able to I would recommend that you use a pitcher and collect water from the top of the tank and pour it back in from about two feet above the surface. This surface agitation will help with oxygen exchange. Do this every few hours.
