Hey - anyone know of a LFS that sells pre-mixed RO/DI water? Or even just regular RO water to top off?
I have been using pre-mixed water from Petco ($12 for 5 gal) for water changes and distilled water for top offs - but am thinking I want to switch over to RO for top offs as well.
Pacific is way overpriced anyway.
I visited Brooklyn Zoo & Aquarium on 2377 Ralph Ave in search for CUC. I was quite impressed. Not too many corals there but lots of snails, Mexican turbo, Nassarius, etc. Tanks are well maintained and good selection of fish, smaller and bigger tanks as well as some supplies. It is far away from where I live but it was worth to go there. Nassarius are $1.99 a piece which is reasonable and this is the only store I found that had them.
I visited Bath ave store as well. It needs lots of work so I will not cooment on this place until they are fully ready for the business.
I live right next to Brooklyn zoo, they are ok, but not great. For starters their nassarious snails are not nassarious snails, they are the black ones that are found in the thousands on the beach. I've never had luck with their turbos, tried them 5 times in prime reef conditions only to have them die everytime regardless of the abundance of hair algae. They have good fish most of the time and are willing to bargain. Never get supplies from there though, they over price like hell.
+1 on the supplies. Use to get my supplies from thousand island better prices on supply's
Has anyone heard of a store called "deep water" in Brooklyn on kings Highway? I found it through Google search but can't find any info on it. TIA
Another store Is opening up next month on coney island ave bet ditmas and 18th ave.
