What a suprise. With those prices and stellar customer service I would have thought they would be there forever.
I heard this news from another LFS. I imagine it is true.

I'm not beerfish. But if you ever shopped in this store. I think you would agree that the economy had nothing to do with it.
Mushroom rocks cost $99 and a coris wrasse (juv.) could run you $125
If the economy was the problem. The first step may have been charging a fair price.
I mean I have seen live rock in there for $17.99 a #

I think the charged for aiptasia!!!!!!!!

Aquarium Adventure is actually part of a chain store. I think I once heard they were headquartered out in the Midwest. I'd also heard a while back they were going to close this location down.

What a lucky coincidence that that other new store is opening so very nearby. Hmm..coincidence or not...:scratch:

Yeah that store is ridiculous with their prices. I went in there a while ago lookin for a flame angel and a diamond goby and the guy said he was gonna cut me a deal and give me both fish for $180. I laughed in his face and walked out and never went back!

I went there for the first time two weeks ago. I couldn't believe stores like that still existed. Brown mushrooms for $100? Petco has better livestock. Captive audience I guess.

There is a fortune to be made for someone running a GOOD and FUN hobbyist centric shop in the middle of LI. No one can seem to get it right.

I have never been there either but always heard the prices were outrageous so I figured why waste my time? I just go out there for wal mart and the good restaurants. Cozy Mel's is the ABSOLUTE BEST. Just an all around great mexican restaurant, so authentic they got their chef straight from mexico! Prices are good,drinks are awesome. Sorry to go off topic but if anyone wants to atleast get some good food if you do decide to waste your time going to this terrible store it's behind the mall next to chile's. NO I DO NOT work for them just offering some friendly advice and it's more worth it to talk about this restaurant than this crappy store! LOL

I'm sure even if their stuff was 50% off it's still 1000% more than what it should cost or you'd be willing to pay for it anyway.
