New Fish Store Oceanview!!!

[gab24m3]

I usually buy my fish and corals from Sea Escape...I was sad to hear that it was closing but I lucked out and found a new store called Oceanview!

The owners name is David and he's barely starting out. He's selling out of his house right now...anyway's he's got some great looking corals and some some cool fish and prices are comparable to Sea Escape. So if you shopped at Sea Escape chances are you'll llike Oceanview I got his card and his phone # is 253-5630.

Just thought I'd share this with fellow aquariust, good luck!

I will definately look this person up.
In this hobby, you HAVE to find a bargain when it arises.
Watch out for this guy............. :-)

Where is Oceanview located? Do you have directions from the Eastside? Thanks

[bpatrol]

He's is Socorro so it can be a drive..also he's a nice guy but may or may not be doing it much longer..call him and ask...good luck..
p.s. Sea creatures on montwood and g. dieter still have some of the best prices in town..and Sea Escape went to a new owner..its called sea palace i believe..same location

Actually, I'm going to go tomorrow and check out some stuff... he just got an order. Fish, sps coral, and clams!

Why do you say he may or may not be doing this? As far as I know he plans to expand.

Bury1, he's doing this out of his house so it be best to call before hand he usually meets me after 11:00am

If I buy anything i'll post some pics, keep you posted!

Forgot to mention I got them at $30 bucks each and he had some for $40! He had a good size order and some really nice corals.

Hey Gabe how did that black gravel turn out in you new setup?

[seacreatures11335]

Where is David at how come he is not online?

[gab24m3]

Thanks for the Onyx sand Jimmy, the tanks looking pretty sweet.

He's staying pretty busy with everything but he's not registered on RC

[jmait769]

gab24m3 Just wanted to say “Thanks for the Tip” as I checked out Oceanview yesterday. David is a great guy and he had some really neat stuff with great prices!!:D I was able to get the coral shown in your first and second picture which was really nice and a Blood Red Shrimp. He has no plans to stop selling. I’ll get some pictures out once they settle in. Thanks again,

Jay

[gab24m3]

No problem jmait.

[gab24m3]

I'll post some better pics later just thought I'd share.

Could anyone give me directions to his shop or possibly a phone number. I live in Alamogordo and don't have a El Paso Phone Book. Please, Pretty Please

[jmait769]

mitchellmoto - The best thing to do is call him when you plan on being in town at 253-5630. That is what I did. He is located on the far east side. Coming in from Alamo on 54 you would take the Transmountain exit and head east on 375 until you are just south of I-10. You will take the Alameda exit to Socorra road east. That should give you a general idea of where his locaton is.

Meant to add a picture of the blood red shrimp I got from him!!
