Carinya Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I grew up just outside of Columbus (prior to becoming an aquarium hobbiest) and still have family there...so we visit. I can't truly vouch for the quality of this place, having never purchased there myself but they always seem to have a wonderful selection & the prices weren't bad at all. I swing by just to browse & check out their displays when I have some free time. Aquarium Adventures, 3632 W. Dublin Granville Road It's kind of an aquarium superstore. Really big. But again, I have not personally purchased from them. Have fun! Carinya Link to comment
HuBu Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 okay kewl thanks for your reply. ill give them a try, i think ill be staying somewhere in Dublin. Link to comment
Smokey Joe Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 The livestock prices at Aqaurium Adventure are absolutly outrageous, typically being about 400-500% above mail order outlets. I can give you some examples if you're interested. The quality of their stock is also poor. I was there just yesterday and noticed two tanks next to one another with dead flame angels and dead yellow tangs respectivly. The tang tank had at least 15 or so in a 30g. I'll shop at Aquarium Adventure for inexpensive dry goods or aquariums only. Otherwise I can do much better online. A much better store is Byerlys on Fifth Avenue. Though their prices are still rather high the staff is very knowledgeable and they do carry some interesting things from time to time. Link to comment
HuBu Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 smokey: whats the address to Byerlys? Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Yes, Aquarium Adventure's pricing is horrible. Byerly's on 5th is a better place -> though the prices are still high. Byerly's is in Grandview, not sure on the exact address though. When are you going to be in Columbus? Maybe you can stop by here! (40 min east of Columbus) Link to comment
Smokey Joe Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Byerly's Aquarium Supplies 1472 W Fifth Ave Columbus OH 43212 614-486-7435 Their prices on dry goods are very high, livestock prices are high but not unreasonable. Link to comment
parhead Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Make the trip to Byerlys. I was at Aquarium Adventure last weekend and was really disappointed. Thier tanks were filthy and lacked stock. Coral display was a joke. Hopefully they stock up before your August visit. Let me know when you'll be in town and maybe we can meet at Starbucks across from Byerlys for a cup of coffee. Aquarium Adventure and Byerlys are the only 2 worth visiting (thats sad to say----maybe I'll open a store....) parhead Link to comment
