We all know good water quality is one of the keys to a healthy, happy aquarium. In order to do that, you should test your water parameters to make sure everything is where it need to be.

Did you know that we stock a wide variety of test kits. Everything from the basic test kits like API and Tetra, to the most sophisticated test kits like Salifert, Red Sea, Hanna Checkers and Refractometers.

Come see us for all of your testing needs!

The US House of Representatives has already passed H.R. 4521 and it is poised to move to the Senate.

If this Bill gets signed into law as written it bans the collection, importation, and inter-state transfer of every fish, snake, reptile, spider, bird, and any animal that is not a dog or cat. To trade in these animals would require that they be added to a pre-approved "Whitelist" after overcoming numerous hurdles proving the animals traded are a non-invasive species. This is a serious threat to the aquarium trade and our way of life if you earn a living from the aquarium hobby. These changes to the Bill were snuck in last minute and the general public has no idea of the far reaching damage this legislation would cause. The specialty pet and aquarium store would become a thing of the past overnight.

Please take a moment to check out these links and contact your Congressmen and Senators to tell them to vote "NO" on H.R. 4521.
