Is that an English joke Woo? (Not my cup of Tea...)

Just a turn of phrase my friend, meaning not what I am interested in.


Steve/Woo

I just bought the substrate for my fish only saltwater 55 gallon a week ago from Midwest Reefs. It's a nice store, although he must do a lot of special order business because it's kinda sparse in there.

As far as stock goes it's a small place , although they have some of the best tank prices in town? Esp. 30" and 36" width from 30 gals all the way up to 360..( ask they have an off site warehouse)

They have a 150 wide that is just to die for as well as a 90 cube.
Different sizes than the std aquarium menu fare. Looking for a tank, something a little different, talk to them first.

That tank they are raffling might make a nice replacement for my 30 hex that sprang a leak in the family room. I might have to stop in there!

12 pm to 8 pm most days , except when they decide to take a break..LOL..Showed up at 3:30 PM yesterday to pick up a tank, they where on a break till 5:00 pm? Store was closed with a nice little be back soon sign.

Not sure on this, they may be affliated with the pet store in Oalthe ?

I hope they are open. It's supposed to be an open house fundraiser!
