The extra pieces are actually for euro bracing should we decide to add it down the road.

Ian

Are you still hoping to open before Christmas? I will be looking for some where to spend my Christmas money on the way home from the Coast. Looking for my first SPS.

We are certainly trying but it is turning out to be lots of work ripping out old floors. Either way, you are welcome to drop by our holding/aquaculture facility, it is only 10 minutes away from the shop.

O.C.

Hey Ian is this tank Gyre-ating yet? :razz:

I hope
 

All I hope is that wysiwyg is true and in stock and when you run out dont feel bad feel good and tell us because what i see is real good and i cant wait to see some of your stuff in person and bring it home to enjoy.Great fragin and have fun

Lol, not yet but we are getting there! The floors at the location have turned out to be a big hitch in the process of getting done. We have had to rip out carpet and chip up old tiles using hammers and chisels! We have the new floor going in next week as well as paint and plumbing.

The shop will be basic but the goods will speak for themselves!

Ian

The WYSIWYG is very real and we look forward to meeting you!

Store Open?
 

Just looking for an update to see if the store is now open?

I am in that area a couple times a month, so very convenient!

(I usually get my Diesel at the Shell there on 276th/Fraser - $0.08-$0.10 cheaper than lower mainland and Air Miles to boot!)

Wow, you get your diesel just down the street! We will be trying to open our doors sometime within the next 3-4 weeks. We just need to finish some plumbing and also cycling of the tanks.

Do it up and make it BIG!!!! This place will be awesome judging by the livestock you guys have and your dedication to customer service to put things right.

Here are some updated pictures of the shop front with all the signage being completed!

Thats a pretty slick looking store so far. I look forward to breaking in my GPS to come and find it later in the spring!

Looks awsome, can't wait for you guys to open. Finally something in the Valley:biggrin:

Ya awesome. Maybe I won't have to drive ALL the way to Delta when I come down next :D I'm positive I won't have to LOL

Yes, we are much closer than Delta!

WHOA!! Hold the phone!! Forget the corals I want a $10 haircut!! :lol:

j/k (sorta, maybe, kinda) Hoping to make a trip out that way this summer, excited to check out the boutique :-D

I've been bald for years, just think of the cash I'm savin LOL

:lol:

Looks like you have competition!!:mrgreen:

I thought the mortgage sign on the building across the street was in your store for a sec. I know I could have payed a good chunk on a mortgage with the money invested in my tank but to advertise that in your store....:lol:

Hahaha...LOL.

Actually what we're hoping to happen is that you go next door and get yourself a $10 haircut. You don't like it and go to the lawyers office on the other side and sue for a bad hair cut. Then you take your settlement and spend it with us. :mrgreen:

Can't wait to meet you Kien. There's actually tons to do here in the country. We'll be posting things to do in Aldergrove on our website shortly. In my opinion, you haven't lived until you've experienced Aldergrove. It really is nice down here.

Cheers,

Paul

Man, if I could get $10 haircuts here I'd have so much coral money. My hair grows fast :(

Don't forget the mortgage broker across the street whom we'll want to visit so that we can buy a house down the road after visiting the boutique :biggrin:

I know, My best friend grew up in Aldergrove/Ft langley. I've heard ALL the stories HAHAHA

new store
 

Price list available for customers to see. Updated website would be a great idea and great store hours. Above all, a friendly knowledgable staff willing to answer the same questions over and over again.

We've driven by the store front a few times and it looks fantastic! Any idea when you'll open for business?!?

Well we are hoping to have a soft opening on the 14 of February (Yes we know its Valentines):love: We promise to draw pretty hearts on all of the bags..... We are planning our grand opening on or around February 21st.


We will keep everyone updated.

Thanks!! Hopefully I won't have to buy my husband a Valentine's gift now, I can just take him to the store and he can pick his own!! I'll be watching for updates!! Thanks!

Congrats Ian! Really happy to see new store in the Valley and can't wait to come and have a look at your stuff.

Hmmm, Wife's trying to con me into takin the 5hr drive on the 22nd or so!!! might be a good excuse to use the GC :D

farmers market
 

Dont forget they have a farmers market so maybe bring some of your good ones to start building credit? :)

That would be great! We are just playing the waiting game to cycle the tanks now!

The tanks are taking forever to cycle completely........:surprise:

Are you planning to accept major credit cards in the future.

We can take major credit cards now by calling us so we can manually process it. We will also have the typical visa, mastercard, and interac machine in our store upon opening.

You are correct here! The Farmers market is already in full swing, bring us your best Corals!

All I got are mushrooms and pink Zoo's :( Nothin worth writin home about LOL

So I can order on line, then phone with credit card information will that work?

Exactly! This would work just fine!

how do we know exactly which fish would be at the store on opening day :mrgreen: email said not all fish would be there

Unfortunately we will not know exactly which fish will be present at the store until closer to the day, we have limited space for the fish due to our fish system not built yet. We are also limited to the fish we deem as healthy and ready to go to a new home, we are very picky on quarantine measures and preventative/proactive treatment to new fish, if they are suspect for disease or failing to eat, we will not sell them.

Is there a fish on our list that you are specifically interested in?

Ian
