Just read the right up and congrats to Dan and Nikki, the store is looking great and I am VERY happy to have a NEW store in place of the prevous one!
And after being there and talking to Dan, I hope to be supporting it in the years to come...

Hi there. I was in your store yesterday and am thrilled that you have taken over the place, because your passion is obvious.

Thank you Nikki for your assistance - I'm the gal who came in with a pile of questions not long before closing time and told you about how I bought a previously-owned Oceanic Biocube there a year and a half ago, which has been sitting beside my desk empty until now, and that I had been under the impression since buying it that it was an 8 gal.

I didn't mention it in our conversation, but that day that I came in to buy a bowl and siamese and walked out with a Biocube, I wandered around for an hour before anyone asked me if I needed help. No biggie to me personally, cuz that's what I wanted to do. But as a business tactic, it was a Big Fail. I'm tickled pink that you and Dan have taken over the space and am sure you will do great. Needless to say, I also feel fortunate that I live ten minutes away from the shop. :D

One thing that came with the used tank/stand combo was the original Oceanic Owners Manual and as you suggested, I measured my tank and compared that, along with the lights, to the specs, and it seems that it's a 14 gal I have, not an 8. YAY! I'm really raring to go now.

Oh, and thanks for telling me about this forum too!

very nice work guys.
definitely the LFS to watch out for these days.
