I know, I know, it sounds insane but let me explain. Andrew is the head aquatics expert who is a real deal certified Marine Biologist who studied and interned at the Baltimore Aquarium and Camden Aquarium for a long time. He knows his stuff and is quite knowledgeable, so much so that the brick petco location is the 5th best selling petco out of over 1500 locations world wide. Petco has given andrew a free run of the fish department to order and sell what ever he thinks will work and sell. I have bought countless things from them, things you wouldnt expect a usually lacking giant chain to have, like nice duncan corals, pompom xenia, bubble anemones, mandarin gobys,diamond gobys, clowns, snails, crabs n inverts etc.... as of monday july 29th they tore out the entire salt water section and have decided to remodel, upgrade the system and almost double it, as well as the coral section. When ever I have had an issue or outbreak in my reef tank andrew has been there 100% to help me diagnose and treat it. I'm a huge fan of local mom and pop stores and helping the little guy, but I'm also a huge fan of someone who takes so much pride and interest in their profession and helps you everytime with no problem. Andrew is a huge part of the reef community in my area and myself and a few of my reefing friends turn to him often. Dont be so quick to count out the local brick petco.

I have heard many great things about the Brick petco from members who live in the area. Even my local Petco (Englishtown and Freehold) speak highly of Andrew. I hope to get to Brick once the remodeling is done.

Thank you, I'm unaware of the acc bash?!?! What and when is that? Yes I Andrew is very quiet at first but once you get to know each other his knowledge is so ridiculous and abundant. The man is more than helpful.
Yea do yourself a favor and go check it out and meet Andrew
Hey Bricknick,
Welcome aboard. Shame it wasnt two weeks back, we had a meet over at my place off Jack Martin.
Anyways, you're preaching to the choir. Andrew knows most of us by name
ACC is Aquarium Care Center, they're located out in Ocean on Rt 35, they're having a party this month as they do every year, worth getting out there.
And I don't know if you've been in Petco this week. I dropped in today and the entire saltwater section has been removed. They're installing new tanks and sumps and they hope to be back up and running mid/late August.

I live in Brick also and go there usually once a week for the delivery days! Lol I speak to him often, Great guy! He even special orders coral or fish if I'm hunting something specific down that I can't find. A little tip about Petco a lot of people don't know... They price match! I just bought a preset Aqueon heater, $26 dollars retail, Amazon had it for $10.99.....I paid $10.99. As long as its a verified website they will price match!
