The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread

Ugg, The place I orderd my tank from said that there was a price change and they arent honoring my order! bastards. Theyll sell me one for 220 now instead of the 176 I ordered mine for. that should be illegal! in fact think it might be but oh well. Dont buy from aloha aquariums!

Oh well, it may be good that it happened. Im starting to debate starting a 50 gallon tank with a remote sump I dont know which way to go! only thing ive ever had a hand it was my dads old fish only tank. had a 15inch Lion fish in it. Was the coolest thing ever. sold that sucker for almost 2000 bucks to a private collector, apperently its rare that they are that big for very long. Went into a 2000 gallon tank, still there too.

anyways. Off to my search. IM still thinking nano though, but ill be using the mini skimmer i saw too. who knows, well see gah, so many options!

Im so screwed.

Check Doctor's Foster and Smith.
They're a class outfit with top notch stuff at very fair prices. You won't take an Aloha-style screwing, either.

Good job pointing that out, my perverted little buddy.

I figured since I have nothing of value to add to this discussion I would help in ANY way possible!!!

That was my place to go to for years, even going back to when they were called Pet Warehouse.
Used them extensively until I eventually got my wholesale tax license for the business.
Their prices are quite close to that of wholesale, or at least as close as one can get. Much, much cheaper than local shops and very reputable.
Another very reputable mail order one that is out of PA is "That Fish Place".
Just as good. Also ordered quite a bit from them.

That's amazing. They're the only other ones I've ever used.
I just ordered parts for my Diatom filter from them a few weeks ago cause they're the only ones that carry them.
The only thing I can say negative about That Fish Place/ That Pet Place is that I've called them for a couple things and talked to everyone in the store and no one knows anything about what they're selling.
One time I just gave up.
I've always wanted to visit their store but it's about 4 hours away. I'm not that excited about it.
My all-time favorite store is Elmer's in Monroeville, PA. It's a smelly little store but at a time they had the best selection of fish anywhere. Good and healthy, too. They've slipped in recent years but sometimes they're good and sometimes not. I still stop every time I go by.

My brother in law actually went out there from NJ.
He liked driving to it.

Another one I just thought of that although I never bought as much from as the other two I mentioned, I did buy from them and they do have a massive, massive location about a half hour from me is BigAl's.
