if it really is going to be set up like a scripps meets art show, you should have some kind of coffee shop or snacks to buy with table and chairs set up. I'm sure people are going to want to go there and hang out and you can make some money from that. I'm looking forward to seeing what it ends up looking like...if it ever opens (impatient)

Nice idea... Starbucks meets Aquatica...yesterday, after a 12 hour day getting the store ready here are some highlights/photos- the epoxy floor was finished and sparkling...
The shelving was completed and ready to order supplies
The sumps are ready to finally be unwrapped and installed
and the skimmers are saying 'get me out of these boxes! We are ready to go!'....
Yes...Plumbing starts today!!!!!!!!Hopefully done before weekend!!! Goal to buy liverock and sand this Saturday! Just a goal....

Nice job. Tagging along.

[Aquatica]

More Photos... keep on tagging along!!!!! ...
View boxes...notice the detail of the store name...thanks Pete!
Plumbing the RODI system...1600 gallons a day...both saltwater mix and RODI with built in water heating system and aeration
So many details to go...it seems to never end...yet it is the details that make things go from good to better to best.... Another Day of getting store ready....another day closer to opening...Dave @ Aquatica

Are you going to have a tank that you DON'T SELL any corals out of?
I love when a store has it's own reef that no one can buy from.

[Aquatica]

Good Question...mostly sell unless it is a favorite of mine...Dave @ Aquatica
