I think you would be remiss if you did not check out Atlantis Aquariums. It is by far the best store within 2 hours of Richmond! Marvin is a great person and you'll definitely see things in his store that you won't see anywhere else along the east coast.

Ridiculous Custom Deltec Setup anyone... hehe

Peace,
John

definetely the best store around

LOL already planned on visiting Marvin dying to see the deltek setup up and running..unfortunately when I was drooling over it at MAcna it was empty...
LOl the ? will be if Marvin remembers me and if I need to hide

[will_w]

Don't worry its not empty anymore

Atlantis... We are fortunate to have such a great business in Richmond.

Yes, I've driven down 2 times now to buy from Marvin. His stuff is great and soooo much to pick from. I absolutely love the store.

And, to top it off, Marvin and staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Definately worth a stop.

I can't put a face with your screen name. What MACNA pictures do you want to see? Hopefully I'll recognize you.

Now hoping I am correct with the face and name LOL

[skyedolphan]

HMM
no one answers can someone please tell me if i am correct or wrong?
mind you this was MACNA this year, first nite after driving 12 hours ,getting in in time for supper, going dancing and getting back to the hotel around 2or 3 am after a few cab drives and whatnot This gentle man was great to tolerate me and the gang

with the cameras and and everything else I actually think I pulled him away from a convo with a friend from Houston.. someone PLEASE tell me if I have the correct name with the picture ?

[fightingobblers]

You got it right.

Dawn,

It all just came back to me in a flash. The amazing thing about pictures is they can show up out of the blue. You are welcome here anytime. Looking forward to your visit When are you expected in town?

Marvin

Thanks MArvin, ya pics are funny like that, we are heading outta here July 6th I believe just waiting on word from 1of the foster kids mom as to whether she can come or not ..
Like said after the torture myself and some of the BRS crew gave you wasnt sure if we would be welcomed hehe..

Looking forward to seeing you again have heard much praise about your store and def.cant wait to see the deltec up and running ...... and a good thing is it is not MACNA so I should be wide awake and sober which under those conditions I am less likely to torture people although cant say that about the kids that will be with me LOL
