Sad News.
I know a lot of people who have bought stuff from them, I never knew they sold fish though. |

Anyone know if they were struggling financially? I really don't know, but it makes me wonder.

It also destroyed a recently constructed wedding chapel on the site. New construction and fire shortly after.. Sometimes low bids bite you in the ..............

Real shame. My old tank was made by them and I was happy with it.

Their aquarium manufacturing building is a huge wooden barn. Lucky it didn't go up in smoke as well. Picked up my 100 gallon tank there in person.

Please let us know what you experience as I was thinking of ordering a new custom reef tank from them for my build. Thanks in advance for any light you can provide on the operation and effects this event may have had on their quality of product moving forward.

The article said 6000 Tropical fish died but the saltwater fish are still alive. That's a shame.
