QUOTE=Jupoc911]oceanariums hours are 11-6 on Sunday and 11-9 Mon-Sat. We have a huge selection of stuff. All types of colors and very exotic fish such as helfrichi, exquisites, and mystery wrasses. All are very well priced. Definitely cheaper than you will find any where else. All of our shipments come in on Thursday and usually everything is gone by the weekend.
Ok I have been dealt with this store a bunch of times. First, one of the guys who works their real cool guy knows his poop hangs on the MB. The problem I have with the store is the fish are on the big side not really an issue with me since I’m converting over to reef. Price wise it goes both ways really some of the live stock prices you can get a better price and quality just as good, if you don‘t mind shopping around and checking out other places. Over all I deal with them I like the staff members (sorry man I forgot your name) that hangs on here, the owner well I’ll leave that one alone, and let others possible patrons be the judge. I go with the o'l adage I’m the customer make me want to shop at your store.

I will most defiantly check out that store I go up their to the mall with my fiancé so I can shoot over and check it out. Pricing….I mean come on yeah we all know “I have to pay the rent and salaries” and hey that’s fine you own a business to make money no crap but when your charging 69.99 for a FRAG OF A HGM come on. I’m throwing numbers out just for examples lets say online colt coral goes for $40.00 and then 25-40 bucks for s/h that’s 65-80 dollars total. If you try and sell at a price of 99.99 and go and put a sign up saying ……… SALE ON ALL CORAL 89.99, that’s not really a good sale. Being in business for a while before becoming a medic it only makes sense to have a store/brick front and now add internet sales to move more products, not raise the price of your products to make back the money your losing. I personal will shop were I get the best prices and get a good quality product or live stock, loyalty went out the window when most sales people are just pushing a product or stock that has been sitting a little to long and is holding money back. I can’t speak for other stores but for the most part around me from toms river to wood bridge I have spent a nice chuck of change in a lot of stores, why stores and not a store simple. I spend money in all the area stores, so they all make some coin, so maybe they’ll be around when I need something. I used to be loyal but when I spend boat loads of money and you can’t throw me a bone on stupid rock that looks like someone dropped white paint all over it and you have the balls to tell me this is the best rock around and all others will cause ammonia to sky rocked. So, ok I just spent 2 G in your store throw me a bone on the rock and sand, don’t try and stick it deeper in me. it’s a working relationship you help me I’ll help you. Don’t get made at me when you stick it in me and I don’t push back,. with the help of the internet and message boards and phones w/voice recording and cameras, make one wrong move or try and ---- me on something and I’ll bury you all over the internet. No store owner will try and make a customer “theirs” any more. So with lousy customer service or problems, I like to send a truthful public service announcement and as of now tropaquraium has been nuked, not just by me but a few others that have been bent over and did not get a kiss for the effort.
