Who's from Jersey!

Lets hope they catch the AH who did this:

Wow. That's the first I've heard of that. I knew they shut down cause of the move to the new location. I thought the shutdown was early. Cause they say the new store will be ready by mid june. Was wondering why they would shut down one before the other is ready. Hopefully all the employees are ok. I take my 5yo in there with me all the time. I remember when I was a kid. Me and a few friends in a gym broke the thermostat by accident. We were playing with the mercury that came out. Flicking it with our fingers across the gym floor. We're all still here. Maybe someone was ticked their leaving that location. That part of that strip mall is dead there.

That's horrifying. I don't understand people who would do something like this.

Mark is a good guy. He gets in some very nice stuff. I would suggest checking him out.

I bought from him before. Nice selection. Sells out of his garage. Price is sometimes a little on the high side. But it's all quality.

Favorite lfs The hidden reef, right over the BB bridge
I gave up on that place. I think it gone down hill in the past few years. I go to the Aquarium Center. It's kind of small and doesn't have much hi end gear. Give them a try right off RT 42.

Mount Laurel. Aquarium Center in Blackwood.

Agree

 

[4fishman]

Edgewater park here

Hidden Reef?? That place seems like its going out of business and all the coral is was overpriced. I frequent there just to kill time but wont spend money. Ill gladly shop at Fish Factory down the street. To top it off they have an awesome rewards program, not the spend $1000 and get $10 credit BS. Go in and ask for their rewards card, you wont be disappointed.

I agree 100%. Never tried Fish Factory always looked dirty from the outside

Agree

Has Aquarium Center reopened and/or moved after the mercury incident?

I believe so.

I believe so.

Just checked their website, they completed their move to the new location.

I live in Jackson, NJ.
I tend to get fish and equipment from either Tropiquarium or Aquarium Care Center. I don't make my own water yet, so I get that from Tropiquarium as my results have been good so far. It gives me an excuse to go there to see both as well.
I got most of my corals from Mark at Ultimate Corals. Not only is it close, but I learn a lot while I am there.
I want to see Reefabout!
I prefer to keep my business local so the only things I get online are those I can't find in the stores. I appreciate the fact that they are taking risks with livestock. And having an knowledgeable person to talk to is worth any extra I might pay, so I want them to stay in business!

 

[justingraham]

Aquarium center is open and nice inside.
The fish factory does look dirty from the outside but Roy the owner is a great guy and inside is very nice by far my favorite store u can tell they care.
The hidden reef is crap overpriced for fish that are dieing in their tanks and there rewards plan is crap 1000 dollars to get ten horrible store.
O I'm from around Deptford NJ
New to the forms and new to corals so any help or ideas would be awesome

The hidden reef has the worst coral selection. But they have RC for $42.99 this week. There dry goods are the lowest aaround.

I know a lot of members on here are from jersey, just wanted to see who and where from. Also list your favorite Jersey LFS.

I'll start. I'm from Mays Landing (down south) and at the moment my favorite LFS would be Reefabout in Ventnor City.

Looking forward to hearing from others!

I'm over here now, lol. ACC Ocean nj is the best in the state

I go to the reef, kinda agree in the corals, I like some of the staff and their dry goods.
I've been driving by a place called "Fish Factory" for 2 years which looks dumpy from the outside, but has great corals.. Fish Factory is 2 minutes from the reef.

I also buy corals from the fish factory, but IMO captain nemo's in Norristown has the best corals and largest selection around. They import ftom Indonesia, they have 5 large frag tanks
