Build Series |Eps. 4| Selling Off Aquarium Livestock

After having broke down my 75 gallon saltwater fish tank, the aquarium fish and aquarium coral were housed in a makeshift fish tank consisting of two plastic bins, heaters and circulation pumps. The new build process was delayed by weeks. Concerned for the health of my animals, I approached The Ultimate Aquarium (LFS) in San Mateo California. After explaining my situation, they agreed to take my entire livestock and sell it on consignment. Everything found a more suitable temporary home and lifted a ton of pressure off my shoulders.

My LFS and owner saved me also when a tank cracked for no reason spontaneously. Only 16-18 months old. Thanks - Randy, Life Aquatic in New Canaan, CT. A key reason to establish and maintain a relationship and help them stay open in the day and age of on-line everything.

what a nice store to have near you and its great that you can now build the new system without rushing it. I am looking forward to it.

Looks like a great LFS. The closest store that carrys saltwater is an hour away and they really arent that great

Nice store, real passion for the hobby!!

I enjoyed this video a lot. That was a beautiful store, and it’s so great to see someone so passionate about what they are doing. You could tell he was really into it. I hear you on taking your time. I was given my RSR XL 425 for my birthday last February, and it took until the end of May to get water in it, there was so much planning to do and infrastructure to build. And it took me 4 months after the tank finished cycling to move all the livestock from my 2 nano tanks into it - just moved the last fish yesterday in fact. But I wouldn’t have done it any other way - I know it’s done right and it’s been well worth the effort.
I’m really looking forward to following your new build! 👍🏻👍🏻

Very cool store. It had to be so hard to sell everything off.

[WilSantiagoReefing]

Nice update. Looking forward to you build videos.

Yes I know there's that San Mateo bridge. Very interesting if you could of should of would of...6:40 .. the store guys so funny to place and didn't know you had fish stock . I just watched one or two videos since so many fish videos. The deal seemed reasonable for an agreement . Eventually it's just a hobby to stores that have to deal with operating costs.

Your so lucky you get a nice store like that. Here in Vermont there is nothing! I actually work at an aquarium store but it's only freshwater. I can't seem to convince my boss to sell saltwater lol. I have to drive at least an hour and a half to get a saltwater fish or coral. It's no fun

[RookieReefer]

Great update 👍 Look forward to the future i say. Really nice looking store, good work.

That's an awesome thing your lfs did for you. And it looks like a damn nice store. My 2 lfs aren't anywhere near that caliber. One refuses to do saltwater, and the other does saltwater, but their tanks look horrendous. Good luck on the new build. I'll be following.

Great Video I love the LFS vids, That’s cool you had some fire 🔥 and didn’t even know it.

[TrashPandaFTW]

Sorry you had to drop most of your pals Gil... I'm guessing there is always something refreshing about starting fresh though. On a side note that LFS is NICE!

[cubanreefer]

Oh Oh now am curious how your next build is going to be and how big is going to be. Good Luck and very nice move from your LFS

[PRFishGirl]

Awww man I know that was hard to do getting rid of almost everything

[hediki]

So your selling all your corals as well?!
