About Fish in Westminster.

#1
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share about the store "About Fish" in westminster.
I go there ALOT and the owner Mark is definitly one to please his loyal customers. Everytime I go in there hes very personable and so is his staff.

As far as prices go, He has awesome deals on fish. On any given Sunday you can place an order and it arrives on monday and you can swoop it up that day, and it only cost double what he pays.! Now although this means the fish have not yet been quarantined, those who have a qrt tank should be okay not to mention he will also hold the fish for a week for you to ensure it if youd like. If the fish comes in and you decide you dont like it or want it, He happily gives you a refund and you dont have to take it.

and if you dont order a fish, but your there when the fish are unpacked from shipment, you can still get a good "fish in a bag sale".

Hes also expanding his tanks , adding more coral tanks to his selection which is always a hit or miss on how impressive they are, however Iv bought Huge plugs of zoanthids with probably 30 to 40 heads for 14.99 and the colors were awesome!

Iv also done trade in with him for really good store credit!much more then other LFS have offered me.

Iv been in there complaining about my aptasia and algea in one of my tanks and he offers for me to buy a bunch of shrimp and such and then when they r done cleaning up my tank bringing them back for a full refund.

Its just kind things like that, that you dont see all to often, and i wanted to recognize them and spread the word of what a loyal customer means to them! Not to mention spread the word to fellow reefers on the great deals.

I have had some "not to good fish" so im not saying its the almighty of fish stores however when iv let mark know iv had bad luck with one hes always replaced it or given me a damn good deal on something else! Like i said tho, fish in bag and ordering is not quarantined BUT he will also hold it for you for a week if you prefer!

Happy holidays everyone!

For those that dont know, About fish was formerlly Sherman Tanks, Mark Sherman being the owner. I dont think I need to say anymore and I hope Mark is able to do a good job with his new shop, I used to breed cichlids for him, great guy, just seemed to have lost interest, glad to see hes back in it and I hope he is able to do good things with this shop. I havent had a chance to stop and check the new digs out yet though and hes been open for more than a year.

Nice, something closer to me, and on the way to/from work, love it! Will have to check it out for sure! Does he sell RO/DI water?

Yes he sells ro but from what I understand he's slowed down a little on it cause if expansion I also buy salt from him. Great prices!! And great salt

+1 I love their price in Salinity. I've also bought pumps and whatnot from them, and feather dusters & corals, and have been pretty happy with both the price and the quality.

just to add some pros about other LFS iv noticed that are somewhat nearby me i thornton

reef and pond- has a decent selection on corals, nice clams

keys island - awesome deals on coral frags, with buy 2 get 1 one free on all 10 - 20 dollar frags

aquamart? on broadway- good deals on larger corals. I just bought a really good sized bubble for 50 bucks that i see marked for much more elsewhere. great customer service
and tanks are really clean

elite reef- gorgeous corals if you have some good dough to spend and all tanks are spotless

catfish charlies- good customer service, good variety on fish, clean

liquid kingdom- good customer service , good variety on corals

aquamart off hampden- gorgeous corals if u wanna spend a few, and very clean, good cust service

petco---well, its petco.. id change ALOT at those places.

anywhere you guys can think of you should lemme know. I dont go to the boulder stores tho...

but in my opinion about fish will will always be my first stop. especially now with coral expansion. Fish sell fairly quick there tho so there selection is always a hit or miss. but best prices iv found on many many things and great cust service toward me every single time im there

Checked it out the other day. Kinda crazy how he crammed so many tanks in such a skinny store! Pretty wild.

R/O water is .25c/gal, $1/gal for premixed saltwater.

Re: About Fish in Westminster.

They also sell airline tubing by the foot at 15 cents...or 10ft for a buck. Hard to beat.
