[AquaSD]

Hi Everyone!

We're not slacking, lol! Got some work done with the new place and snapped some shots!

The place is almost complete!

Also, just got news that our shipment of corals will be coming in soon, and will be FULL of goodies guaranteed!

Grand opening date haven't been set yet, but will be around the end of this month! We'll carry lots of high end corals as usual, as well as some fish, inverts and dry goods!



Here are some pix from the past week ---

Just came back from LA, hauling everything to the warehouse:

Lining up the stands carefully:

Plumbing Day!

Plumbing Complete:

Now for the fish side:

Don't I look thrilled about plumbing 20+ tanks... Loonnggg night.....

We got our water from Andy (Ocean in Motion). He supplies a lot of LFS and wholesalers in socal with scripps water. If you're ever needing a ton of salt water at once, and can not make a million trips to scripps, he's the guy to call. PM me if you need his info.

looks like you guys have a nice start, lots of WORK!!:top:

Wow, very nice Will! I'm extremely Jealous! Where is the new place?

 

[EyeReef]

Wow its tough enough plumbing 1 tank but 20? Looks like all the hard work paid off. Looks good. Which area of San Diego?

 

[socaltropicalfish]

very nice !!

 

[Sumpinsfishy]

Very Impressive. I commend you for expanding your business.

However-you have one little problem that could spell disaster: Your metal tank stands are sitting on concrete cinder blocks laid on their sides. All of the tank & water weight is being supported a a little bridge of concrete. These blocks are not designed to support a load in this fashion.

My advice is to jack up the tank stands, one block at a time and flip the blocks to they sit vertically. Then place a little piece of Marine Grade Plywood on top and let the stand back down. I know its a lot of work, but would you rather lose your inventory?

Great looking warehouse. How many gallon are the white bin holding. Where did you guy get those white bin if you don't mine me asking? I'm interested in getting one for myself.

Thanks for your posts your pms have been replied, thanks!

The warehouse is in the Clairemont area, between the 805/163/52 freeways, on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. I'll post the address when we're ready to open (when our corals come in )

Thanks!!

Man, I cant wait till u open. I didn't get a chance to get 2 ur place wen it was down south. But I have seen the corals that u deliver!

 

[AquaSD]

There has been some improvements! Took some quick shots of how our warehouse is looking right now.

Got some of our corals that our good friend Dennis (Dese) was helping us take care of while we were away:

Check out the crazy coloration this wellso formed! Yellow, pink, green and red! Oh yea, and it eats like a pig too!

 

[Aquafrags]

very nice , need to visit the shop!!

 

[Reefer08]

wow those black stands for the tanks looks much better than the bricks!! nice!

 

[Aquafrags]

Ramzy, you ready for a road trip

 

[Sumpinsfishy]

So did you guys flip the cinder blocks and add the Marine Grade Plywood on top or did you just skip it and put the black wood skirt boards on the stands?

I'm glad its not my coral inventory at risk. If one of those white tub's frames cracks a block, it may set off a chain reaction, dropping a whole tub down to the ground, cracking your 2" plumbing lines, letting all of your water supply go out on the floor.

I hope you have insurance, Will. I'm sorry to sound like an old woman predicting disaster but "Wake Up"!
