A Splash Of Life - Awesome Store!

[sellout007]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up to a new store that just popped up in St. Charles. Its called A Splash Of Life. The store specializes in Corals, mainly SPS. They opened in December of 2005 I belive.

Bret is the store owner and is a wonderful guy! No BS, no salesman crap, just honest information. Very friendly guy and has some great prices and some GREAT corals!

I do not work there or anything like that. Just wanted to spread the good store and give Bret some props!

Here is a picture of the Red Brain ($30) and pom pom xenia ($10) I got from him.

I made the hike out there last weekend because they advertised a "Truck Load Sale" on tanks. There were only 4 tanks on the floor so I was a bit dissappointed. The rest of the store looked pretty clean with a nice variety. As i am still pretty new to this I can't/wont comment on prices.

Just my two coppers.

Dry Good wise they have absolutely nothing right now. For clarification, I meant price wise their corals are great, not sure about anything else. o)

Although they did have either a 75 or a 90gal glass tank with stand and canopy for $550. But I would assume that their dry goods are going to be jacked up like every other fish store.

There was a Clarity Plus dealer on site taking orders, and selling tanks from his truck.
