Nice guys, it was packed for the drawing ( I didn't win ). Lots of frags, some fish, and some equipment. Got some great deals. 24% off today. Here is some pics.

Where are they located?

jmann124 · Oct 15, 2016

120 S Peters Rd
Suite 14 I think.

To be quite honest; I wasn't all that impressed with their prices, and the variety of things there

Joshua Hurst · Oct 15, 2016

But it's now the closest store to me so I'll learn to love it lol

I was to haggle on everything though.

Never have I seen the word haggle, but it's now my favorite word

I was impressed by the professional look and cleanliness of the store, then again it is new. I agree with the comment on selection when it comes to fish, but I thought coral wise they had a pretty good selection, but I agree wasn't impressed with the prices, thought they were a bit much, however I did pick up a Jack-o-lantern Lypto for a cheaper price there then what they were selling em for in the WWC live sale, so there was that.

He did invite the club to have a meeting in store and seemed pretty pro club so thats always a big plus... and like Josh said, they are also now the closest store to me.

Competition breeds excellence and superb customer service, so we will have to see how this effects the other stores.

Leigh Ann and I visited the store today,...we are both impressed! They have a nice selection of higher end frags not typically found in our other stores. Leigh Ann picked up a couple of zoa frags and firework clove polyps, I got nothing.

I just came from there today for the first time. Picked up a cleaning crew and a small zoas frag. Thought they were very friendly and wanting to help. It will be my go to store over the aquarium for sure...

They do sell tanks, but do not have a wide verity for you to look at. I'd suggest aquarium or the other store on Clinton highway if your still deciding which tank

You can "look" at papermill but I would suggest getting a better price (like saving 200=500) at AQM in powel. If you dont HAVE to have high end name brand things and are okay with jebao/jecod branding pumps, powerheads then you can get an entire set up cheaper, and if you bring containers, they will even give you the water to fill it up. Tell them I sent ya. Not sure it will get you or me anything special but i like them to know I support em.

Also... The aquarium on Papermill seems to be in love with the wet dry sumps and put them on all the non red sea tanks since they make them. Im not a fan of wet dry system. I started out with on on my 72 and was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you to see how much easier it was to keep my nitrates under 10 with filter socks vs wet dry.

I recently upgraded @camajestic tank (Biuocube 14 to 60g cube) and at AQM in powell I got a DC Return Pump, DC Powerhead, Ocean Revive light, Aquaon Sump, tank and stand, heater, Skimmer, for less then what I paid for just the tank and the stand at The aquarium on Papermill .

If you see a tank you like at The aquarium on Papermill you can ask AQM to price it for you as well and while they may not have the exact same tank, they will have one close to it thats cheaper for the entire set up.
