There's actually a great new store that opened up in the same area that Ocean in a Box used to be in. It's called Neptune's Corals. Check them out. It's just a small place currently but they are looking to expand once they get business going strong. They currently have 4 50gallon breeder tanks set up for coral frags and colonies along with some newly set up fish holding tanks. Tons of coral in their frag tanks everywhere from $5 frags and up. They will also even frag stuff on the spot depending on what it is. They will also order specific things if you are looking for something they might not have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimusprime3605 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Neptune's is the only one that I know of in the Couve. As mentioned, it is in the same parking lot as OIAB, closer to the side of the Shell station.It's small but to be honest, it's pretty well stocked...

Gumby Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Does Neptune know about our clubsite? It would help his business to hook up with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They posted on our Facebook site once advertising and I removed their post and sent them a message about sponsorship but heard nothing back.

Sent from my man cave while drinking Coronas at Holly's Honestly I didn’t know if they were still around. Of course we are always interested in potential sponsors. Maybe they just didn’t get the message ? It would certainly be good to know about any Vancouver stores. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaNerd Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Bobby and Rhett are the owners. If you can get bobby to show you his office tank it’s pretty rediculous. My good friend is buddies with them and I have watched them grow from an idea. Pretty cool. They have a ton of really nice frog spawns and hammers etc there and they have a water system hooked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also willing to frag stuff from their main displays if things are doing well which they have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyInside Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Does this store have live rock for sale? I’m up in Vancouver and just set up a tank but need a couple pest free live rock pieces to seed my tank with. Edit: never mind looks like they are only open from 3-6 so couldn’t make it there anyways. Edited May 15, 2018 by CrazyInside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stuff, I would say, is much nice then Jason's. Not nearly enough fish nor space! They're getting there, tho. They plan on opening a bigger shop, just finding the best location. Anywho, if you find the time, check it out. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked to see OIAB gone when I dropped by; Jason has always been pleasant to work with, although ive heard not everybody had the same experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
