What happened to these guys ?

Mr.First · 10-26-2006, 10:49 PM

Okay Queens here's my questions. What happened to the Asian guy (Young) he was on Woodhaven Blvd. right off the LIE I think it was Aquatic Treasures ?
What happened to Ace Aquarium on Northern and Main St. (also Asian)

And for you old timers, what happened to Looking Glass Aquarium. Anybody remember them when they were on Northern right by Main St.
That store was COOL.

Any really good shops in Queens ? Best one I know is Fishtown.

No, I been around , I used to go to Aquatic Treasures on lunch break. Then one day I went there and the doors were all bolted up. I was just curious.
As for looking Glass I was really just being trivial.
With all the online sites, I stopped traveling around as much as I used to. Plus it seems you get better stuff online (unfortunately)

Hey WWW I thought I sent you a PM the other day and did not here back .
Where is " your place" ????

Man ACE was cool store. Back then i was into canaries. But i remember checking out all saltwater stuff and drooling.

Young was a nice guy. He was one of the first stores i bought corals from. I respected him because he was selective in who he sold to. He would ask about your setup and if it wasn't up to spliff he would deny you.

They were nice stores.

woodhaven was call treasure aquarium. guy was a lot more interested in making quick $ than running a business. started with good prices than jack it up n evenually ended up with no business so he jump out of the business.
northenern blvd call ace aquarium was run by a old korean guy. he retired n wanted to sell the business, but the deal didnt go thru n ended up just closing down n sell the equipment which some went to the corner store across the street.
looking glasss:how long ago was this?

Young owner of Aquatic Treasures left our fair city for greener pastures. He told me that the rent had gotten to expensive, so he moved his family upstate. He had also told me he was going to continue his business online, I gave him my email but never heard from him.
From what I was told Ace became Northern Aquarium. No idea what happened to Looking GLass.
Only good LFS that I know of is Fish Town USA, and those here on MR.
