New aquarium store - Staten Island

[r_jay]

So I was on the bus on Bay St (near Fort wadsworth) and I saw a sign that said "First Class Aquariums" looked like a decent sized place from the little I saw. I'm gonna check it out after this weekend. Anyone know of it?

Looks like the business license was just filed on 10.6.16. So it's pretty new. Gotta talk them into becoming a vendor here and supporting the local community.

Used to deliver mail over there last year. Used to be pet supplies, no animals. Haven't been there this year. But i guess they switched over.

Its the new location for Royal Aqua that used to be in Brooklyn. Not sure how long its been open or if they carry saltwater.

I text the guy that delivers there now. Lets see what he says before we make that hike.

Hopefully they do saltwater, hate to sound petty but for the price of the VZ you could buy a frag or two.

I stopped by Royal Aqua(65th & 8th ave) few weeks ago and there was no saltwater stuff left, only freshwater. I spoke to the owner, older gentleman, he said that his son is opening a new place in Staten Island on Bay st, this must be it.

Yeh they stopped doing saltwater because the guy that ran it for them went to pop since the owner there cant do it and he needed somebody. SI could use a good store so hopefully it turns out ok but once somebody knows more please report back.

Looks like they have a Facebook page and they do sell saltwater fish from what I was able to see

Let us know. Spoke to my friend who delivers there and said it's only fish and they do saltwater also.

Boo yay! They just opened a few days ago and the front is all fresh but they have a bunch of saltwater tanks in the back! Right now just clowns but they're getting a shipment today around 3pm. Looks very promising.

Did you happen to ask if they have any plans on getting coral?

Maybe if we create enough demand they could start carrying coral. It's a brand new store so never know. I am just excited to have a lfs on the island with SW anything and supplies.
