hey darren!

welcome to melbourne! just wondering if the aquarium you mentioned- borinia aquarium is one of the ones in boronia? if so is it the one on boronia road- aquaforce i think its called? if so its my LFS and ive found them really great! theres a youngish girl whose in there most days and shes just bursting with information-really knowledgable! (only thing is shes sometimes a little 'grumpy' so if you can ignore that shes great :biggrin: )

Hi Darren, you really are on the other side of Melbourne to me (Sunbury), so I don't really know the LFS in your area. I know Boronia Aquarium have a good reputation however, and Age of Aquariums also but they're a little bit further away from you.

My personal LFS (although not so 'L), is Rayonne Aquarium in Resorvoir. Mick there is fantastic and knows all about this site and it's members.

In the very near future (like coming weeks) we're about to send out flyers to all the shops we can get details for (major capital cities) encouraging the stores to become involved and perhaps offer a discount to TFT members. We've done this before with some of our other sites with great success.

@Kat: Hey thanks! the one i was talkng about is on Dorset rd so i will be sure to check out the "young grumpy girls" shop too :p .

@Marc: Thanks mate, i love Rayonne Aquarium! i've been there half a dozen times. they'll be closer to me once the freeway gets done! :)
Also where is Age of Aquariums?

The flyers and discount are quite welcome :biggrin: :biggrin:

Hi Sloorey,check out Mulgave Aquarium(if thats what its called?)
The owner's name is Heinz,if he's still there?
It's in an out of the way little area,hard to find.
Great place to find the odd gem nestled among the stacks of tanks.


EDIT:just been looking for the address,seems to be gone now.

Thanks Joz, will do :biggrin:

If your ever on Cheltenham road in Dandenong, there are 2 or 3 aquarium's along there, decent quality and pricing too :)
