Yep, I am less less than a block from you Lerios Have any of you been to Berkel Marine? Its not a bad store actually---a bit overpriced on the dry stuff but he has some good invert prices ($19 cleaner shrimp, $1 ceriths, etc)-softies and LPS look healthy, fish are ok looking. The only problem is they are only open 9-5 m-saturday.

 

[Lerios80]

Thanks I've been meaning to check out the store but like you the hours suck

 

[vanceny]

I thought Berkel Marine closed down? Are they still open or did they move? Are they on Northern Blvd in LIC?

 

[grundig5]

He reopened earlier this year on 43rd st and ditmars. Its a nice shop actually, friendly owner. Hours SUCK though. I can only go on Saturday. I ONLY know because another Astorian told me about him, and he is listed as a Tunze dealer on their website.

Just wanted to great every one.

I just got back into reef keeping and recently moved to Astoria.

I have a 29g that I am in the process of stocking.

I want to get a set up a sump but have not found an overflow I like yet.

Berkel Marine was on 39th ave next to Queens Plaza and I thought Alex(Owner)was moving somewhere else.He knows Steve from WWOF.Very small store and pricey but nice staff.

I'm on 42 between broadway and 31ave, and only 8 mins walk from Steve's!!!
I just started cycling my modest 46G bow that I purchased at WWOF! Steve's the Booyakasha Bombdiggidy Shizzlelastic!! I can't wait for my green light, so that I can FedEx some crazy Stuff from my system in Miami, as well as buy some of Steve's Coral Crack Addictions!

Hey First,

I live on 36 ave and 24th St. Trying to convert this FOWLR tank that I basically inherited into a colorful reef tank. New to the hobby and loving it. Always looking to learn more and check out other tanks!

Cheers,
