DaveFason Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 With two months under my belt doing full time Nano Box I am finally ready to start my wholesale program. I have been working on this for some time and feel like I am in the position to start. Where do you guys come in? What local fish stores do you shop with? Currently I am only doing US but will look into Canada. Put your top two stores that you shop/purchase from and where you are from. I will be working on a call list to get Nano Box in to your favorite stores! Thanks in advance and as always thanks NR members. -Dave Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Since you're so close, I would look at the Fish Room and Reef Farm near Raleigh. The Fish Room has about 3 locations I believe. I'm not sure how much equipment the Reef Farm sells. Last time I was there it was pretty much all livestock. Link to comment
Acielot Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I don't shop there too often because their distance from me but Top Shelf Aquatics and World Wide Corals are in Orlando, FL and have a good customer base. Link to comment

righttirefire Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I shop at Keizer tropical fish & aquarium in Keizer oregon. But I don't foresee them being a stocking dealer. Upscale fish and reptiles in Tualatin oregon seem to be a nicer shop around my area but I don't frequent them and saltwater obsession in Gresham oregon have a nice retail side but mostly maintaince and service. Good luck Dave. Hoping to become a customer of yours Link to comment

Did you go to Reef Smart yesterday? I'm in Carrboro but I had family in town and had to miss it. Ended up taking the parents to Bennett Place and Stagville instead. Interesting but would have much rather gone to Reef Smart. Link to comment

Not sure why it was so empty. :/ Guess your odds for raffles went up a bit. haha. I'm still hoping to make another run to Reef Farm in the near future. I think I may pick up a bird's nest and see how that goes. I am using a new system for water changes so I want to make sure I have everything down correct before I buy more corals, especially SPS.

Veng Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 You might look at Dallas North Aquarium. They try to serve a higher end market than the average LFS, and would probably have a customer base that would appreciate your product. Link to comment
