Well my fiance and i did it... We bought Aquarium World in Apple Valley!!!

I know the store has gotten a bad wrap over the past few years but we are working hard to fix it up. We had a pipe break 2 weeks after the take over and are in the process of fixing eveything.

We are currently getting more and more corals, fish, and inverts in stock.but like i said it is a work in progress.

We will be having a grand opening sale as soon as the remodeling has finished, so I hope to see everyone there. I will keep everyone updated on the date.

stopped by on my way home from work to meet the new owner. Mike seems like a real nice guy and has some nice ideas on getting the store in shape and making it something to be proud of. I had a nice conversation with him and he's excited about things. The store looks better already. Nice meeting you Mike GL with everything.

Thanks for stopping by today. It's nice to hear that the store looks better even though it is all torn apart right now. I hope you enjoy that goby I was thinking about bringing him home to my tank because he was so cool looking.

Thank you every one for your words of encouragement they are appreciated. I look forward to turning this place in to the best place for us high desert reefers.

Its coming along... The contractors finally have all the drywall up now we just have to get the paint on and some new flooring. Thank you for asking.

Jesse I hope it wasn't anytime recently we have really been trying to turn everything around and get rid of the bad wrap the store has gotten over the past few years. We Will be having the grand opening once the store is all put together again... Trust me I cant wait.

Paul we will keep you in mind im sure we will need something done in the future.

Just a good heads up we will be having a Black Friday or I should say a BLACK WEEKEND Sale... I am picking up lots of fish and corals tomorrow and will post some pics tomorrow night or on thursday depending when i get everything put in the tanks... Hope everyone has a great turkey day!!!

Store is coming along nicely. I have been a few times as well as my wife and they are indeed turning things around. The tanks are looking real good and you don't get attitude like before. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear you are having a better experience than in the past. It's almost done just waiting on the flooring now and then I get to start pitting up new tanks!!! We can't wait until this is done. Will keep everyone updated.
