jesterisdead Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Brother is having a pre-wedding party this weekend in Ohio and I have to drive right past both these locations. Gotta check store hours and I might make a detour. Phishy Business(Gahanna, OH) Reef Systems Coral Farm (New Albany, OH)- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefhappy Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 You HAVE to make a detour!! Well maybe you shouldn't with the promise of no purchases for 6 months. They both look like good stores to stop at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterisdead Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Like a sex addict in a whore house. Oops maybe I should have said an alcoholic in a bar. Well maybe someone on a diet in a candy shop..... Hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefer82 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I was mad when I learned of phishy business. I was in gahanna last year about 2 weeks before I knew of the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've heard of Phishy business but never been there but have heard very mixed reviews. The second one, the coral farm is cool to check out and they aquaculture most of everything. Hard to tell the coloration you'll have in the coral from the tanks outside but they migrate to the storefront where you can start to see the colors you'd expect at home. Check out some of the massive aquacultured colonies he has, a brain he has I think has been growing for 17 years and is one of the biggest I've seen in captivity, probably larger than a bowling ball. No exaggeration! I spoke to Todd about bringing the club sometime and he said he'd be willing to offer a descent discount if we had a group head that way some day. Leonard can be a second opinion on whether you'd think it'd be worth the few hour trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterisdead Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'll do one better. If eight to 9 folks want to go over some weekend let me know and I'll drive my motorhome. Counting me I can take 10 so 9 others and we can make a day of it and stop at both places or just one as they are about 20 minutes from each other. Its about three hours and share gas cost (about $10) and you can ride in style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 That sounds like a fun time! Sometime in July or August would probably be the best because of the sun and the greenhouse stabilizing. Midwest is rough on corals in greenhouses over the winter and can take a descent time to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterisdead Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sounds good. The sooner we can arrange the better that way I don't plan a camping trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invert Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm in for a day trip! I've read about the coral farm and was planning a trip of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterisdead Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Ended up not going to Ohio. Too much happened this weekend and had to cancel. I'll be there first week of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefer82 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Id be down for a trip! Motorhome would make the drive so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msr224 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Heck yeah! Count me in on the ride. Is there room in the RV for a "small' cooler full of liquid refreshments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work on Saturdays but if I can get an advance on when I should be able to get the day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 It should be a saturday as longer hours open. If still interested ill put you down. Todd mentioned he'd open up outside of standard hours if we had a group. The greenhouse is on the same property his house is so it's not too hard for him to have someone there if he knows he'll make a couple thousand bucks in a couple hours.

jesterisdead Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 True. Well ill look at my calendar and start finding some weekend days to toss out as options and we can go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on buying a lot Dustin? I know you were eying that brain coral pretty hard last time. That yellow scroll coral is awful nice too. My favorite piece was still that pink stylo.
