Salt is a vital part of keeping a healthy saltwater aquarium Arguably the most important parameter in a marine or reef aquarium is salinity. It is of course crucial to marine life and their well-being to be in water within a specific range. As the most important supplement for the saltwater aquarium, aquarists and hobbyists are faced with the arduous task of choosing a salt mix that will perform best for their system. This leads to many questions: What is in an...
From Products to Employment People graduating from college these days are finding it more challenging than ever to find a place to work, much less find a role that fits their major. They also find it difficult to find a role in a company that is exciting, where each day is different from the next. Graduating from Emory University with degrees in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology, I was looking for just that. As it turns out a company in the small town...
Meet The Ark Pet Shop, Gold Select Dealer of the Quarter! One of many beautiful displays! The Ark Pet Shop was founded in July of 1979 by Tom Nelson. Tom already had some experience working in fish stores, so was fully prepared to start his own fish store when the opportunity presented itself. The hobby is much different now from when the shop got its start though! They have had to adapt to changing technology, livestock, product sourcing, and suppliers, but have always...
Meet AniMart, the Silver Select Dealer of the Quarter! Meet AniMart, the Silver Select Dealer of the Quarter! AniMart was started in July of 1988 by Diego Chacon, formerly a corporate banker. Diego’s love of animals led him to start the shop as a small dog-and-cat-supplies store with a few reptiles and fish. Today, the store is many times larger and sells a huge selection of reptiles, saltwater and freshwater fish, and even breeds and hand raises birds! One of AniMart's lovely reef...
Meet Pacific Aquarium & Plant NYC, Seachem’s Bronze Select Dealer of the Quarter! Chi Cho, the owner of Pacific Aquarium, says it best: “New York City’s source for exotic tropical fish and their state-of-the-art, man-made environments, hasn’t always commanded its indisputable following among consumers in one of the world’s foremost cities. Established in 1980, the small, unproven general pet store entered a crowded marketplace on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, armed with little more than an expert staff and a commitment to service...
It is time to announce the 2014 Seachem Walkabout Select Dealer Award. This award goes to the select dealer that we feel had the best flash sale during the Walkabout Tour and really went above and beyond for the Seachem Flash Sale. While every select dealer was great, there was one that just stuck out during the whole tour and that shop is Smiths Aquarium! Smiths Aquarium and their amazing staff put on quite the show for the H2GO and the...
We had a very hard time choosing where we should hold the final flash sale in the 2014 walkabout. But we unanimously decided it should be with a long-term partner who had been with Seachem from the beginning in the Australian market and with that we chose Pet City. Kim Continati the owner has always been a huge supporter and friend to Seachem. We have been truly honored to be partners with Kim and her exceptional staff especially her Aquatics manager Ania...
Once arriving in Brisbane we are amazed by the effort put forth by the owners at Smiths Aquarium, the turn out was unbelievable to say the least. They have created a full-blown day of fun for their customers in honor of the flash sale and inshore visit of the Seachem H2Go. Complete with a blow up castle for the little ones and a cookout for all ages. I was amazed by the number of customers that turned out for the...
The last leg of the Walkabout Tour began as we left Mackay heading south to Bundaberg to rest for the night before moving on to Brisbane where we will have two flash sales and close the Walkabout out with a long time partner of Seachem PetCity. The long leg from Mackay to Bundaberg was riddled with rough roads and it's share of road hazards to say the least. Once in Bundaberg we found rest and nourishment at a local favorite Grunske's...
