tinyreef Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 i just wanted to post an opinion on petswarehouse on long island, especially since i recommended/mentioned it on a prior post. i just happened to be in their area calling on a client and coincidentally : passed by (20 miles away). i was pretty disappointed with what i saw. decent amount of tanks but poor specimens. ditto for the corals. zero on inverts. i had just been to absolutely fish in nj and that was by far much better. (underwater world's still better though) i just wanted to see if others had the same experience with them. maybe i caught them on a bad day (which should only mean empty tanks, sold specimens not poor specimens, imo).

gobies Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 PetSwarehouse is the store that sued a bunch of aquatic plant fanatics when they posted about the quality of customer service they received. The owner also sued the people running the board/list/whatever, as well as 'Jane and John Doe'. BTW, the store has received the Better Business Bureau's lowest possible rating. There, I think I'm safe from being sued. Pet Warehouse, know Drs Foster & Smith, wisely changed their name to avoid confusion with the similarly-named store in NY. Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Ive been to all these places. The only one Id even consider buying anything from is Global Marine Transshippers in Ramsey N.J. ... of couse I buy wholesale, so Im spoiled... heheh BUT if I had to pick, Abs and Hidden would be a good choice fer retail establishments, also Ocean Aquarium in Atlantic City ( Plesantville) is nice too.

tinyreef Posted August 3, 2002 Author Share Posted August 3, 2002 satchmo, sorry i edited my post to answer your question instead of posting. dumbass that i am X) underwater world is in roselle, nj on westfield ave. about 2~3 miles from the gsp. dave, you should try UW. the guy's the best reefer i've seen. he's got wierd summer hours though. i mentioned before that he's the only place i know that stocks fama and other mags that openly push mail order/online drygoods. so you can tell this guy's not interested in that bs. he always has great looking specimens AND he does it all under vho's only! the only lfs i know that does that. btw, how do you get to go into GMT? are you a wholesaler?

nanoid Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Has any body used pet barn on franklyn ave. on long island? I was there today and the store was dirty and smelly but they had a large selectionof live stock. Being a newbie i really can not judge the quality and it seemed that the prices were a little high for the inverts. The live rock looked very nice and was only 6$ per pound for nice fiji rock. Lots of purple and decent shapes. Any comments on this store's live stock and live rock? Link to comment
