Not anymore. they dont open on saturdays. go to www.blowfishaquatics.com ask for Bryan tell him scott from evolution aquatics told you to stop over, he opened a new store, its very nice from what I have heard, so stop over there. PA is closed. Not sure Abyss's phone number do a search for it.

[Adam]

quick(next 30 mins!) question...but is blowfish in indianapolis?

If not, how long a drive is it away from Indianapolis?

hheeellllllppppp!!!

[Adam]

darnet. I can NOT pre-call blowfish aquatics for a appointment, really, I dont have time. Looks like, to me, eithir scotts shop(Info...pleazzzeee!) or this "Abyss" place are the only options.

scott please what is your store!!!

I am an hour from Indy bro, and I dont have anything in there. I had tanks built for me and got a few others, I am waiting on my BK to get here before I add water. Call Brian at blowfish he will work with you. tell him scott told you to call him, he is a good guy.

ok, I got back from there today. I went to Abyss. They didnt impress me at all, they had red bugs...

I went to "The Reef" Pet Shop. That place should be burned to the ground. I have never seen worse and dead corals in my entire life, the place smelled of death.

I went to Inland Aquatics. Quite stunning, indeed. They DID have red bugs in one of the systems in the warehouse in the back, but not the one filled with the huge SPS and Acro colonies. That one was free of bugs. I bought a 1" Blue tip acro for $15, bug free. It will be cool when it adjusts to my tank...it is pretty beat up because I had to attempt to use aquarium silicone to attatch it to the rock (it worked, .....kind of).

Overall the best store of the three was inland aquatics. I asked them again about the ATS systems, they said they could sell me one for $500, and I asked about DIY plans and they said they could not give me them...ohh well overall their corals were absolutely stunning, the soft corals, and the sps in the big system that didnt have red bugs. They said they took all teh sps that were affected out and treated...the LE Jackson Purple Tip monster colony did have red bugs, though.

Hi Adam, generally, Abyss has the best selection of exotic fish in Indy. Did their Acro[SPS] selection not look good? Thnx. Bob

[scottw]

adam you didnt tell me you were coming to inland that is where i live terre haute ding dong. I could have given you a tour of the place. yep told you they had bugs, I have been helping Josh for a long time now. not easy when there is 40,000 gallons of water.

[Adam]

Bob, I guess I am lucky because I live in Evansville, IN and in Newburg, IN there is a store called waters of the World. I beleive they have the best LFS sps selection I have ever seen.

I really didnt see much sps at all at abyss...besides they had red bugs.. :-(

scott IA only has the bugs in one of the "hidden" sysyem in the back of the warehouse...the system I bought the blue tip frag from did not have any bugs on any of the acros in that huge tank. I looked hard for hours at that tank...and others. It was the tank with the purple rim cap and the big blue ridge coral colony...if that helps at all.


Ohh I want to add one more thing...IA has these 2 really tall tanks, I beleive called breeding towers. There was litteraly NO water movement in these tanks at all I mean it was barely moving...and the corals and acropora in that tank were perfectly healthy...and large. people say flow is really important...these tanks had literally no flow.
