The Marine Scene

Hello all,

We have been busy. The exciting thing is that we are launching a new website in less than a week. It's really cool. We're very proud of it.
I'll let you know when it's ready to view.

Hello Everyone. It's been a while. We closed the retail business in July and have been focusing on our service business. While we are going to be servicing a very local area, it is my intention to write blogs and publish them on our site. I'm hoping they will be useful to anyone regardless of where you may live.
I will post the URL once the new site is live.
It's pretty cool. Watch it on a desktop or laptop. The home page is a video composite of the two display tanks from the Marine Scene. The site is nice too. Stay tuned

We operate under the principle of caring for a marine aquarium versus cleaning. Cleaning is just cleaning. Remedying a mess. It implies that the aquarium is dirty. It implies that the aquarium only looks good after it is cleaned and for a few days after.
Caring for, on the other hand, implies that the aquarium stays relatively clean because with proper care, the aquarium can and should stay relatively clean, most of the time.
