Pies Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I am going to be in Christchurch next week for a night on family business. Any chance of hooking up with anyone down there and seeing a tank or 2? Rob some frags on the way out? PM me if your about. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Let me know when your down. I may be going to Sydney for a couple of days next week to check out a new machine for work, depends how things work out early on. I have some frags for you, so if i'm not here, i'll organise to get them to someone so you can pick them up. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yah i'd like that. I have no idea what my plans are, but they will be firmed up by Sunday. Looking foward to it. Piemania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Didn't get a chance to visit anyone in Christchruch in the end. I was going out to see Redwood Aquatics, a place I have had some poor dealings with in the past. They don't open until 11am, so could't manage it in the end. When I was in Auckland I stopped at Jansens 3 Kings on my way to the airport and had a chance to meet Dogmatix breifly for a chat. Great to meet you again, thanks for the time. Janens store was looking as good as ever, lots of healthy stock, both coral and fish. 10/10 for clean, tidy and well presented. The display tank was looking heaps better than last time I was there. My only real dissapointment would be the number of Aipstasia in the tanks, dozens (maybee hundreds), and some BIG suckas too. KILL THEM! I didn't see Salifert product anywhere, but did see Seachem. A good but limited supply of dry goods, well laid out and clearly priced. Prices - the bit everyone wants to know. Fish starting at $40, coral starting at $69. So a little cheaper than my last visit. But the plus was that there was a reasonable selection, everything looked clean and well maintained, all stock was healthy, no signs of whitespot or anything else ugly. Also the plus having someone like Dogmatix working there who is a wealth of knowledge and takes a genuine interest in the hobby in general (hence the reason he is on this board). Over all Janesnes 3 Kings Marine Section 9/10. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
