I am sure they’re are others wondering if ECA is coming back. I really liked the store and would love to see it come back. So I guess what I am asking is whats the update on the store?

2

I also loved the store, but every time I went there everyone always talked about how poor business had been and the fact that they were selling puppies in a fish store to help supplement income… well…

Last post I saw from him he was selling off all the in store tanks, another bleak sign in my opinion. So I have a theory, but then again I have been known to be pessimistic at times.

I really hope I am completely wrong and they have some giant grand reopening with bells, whistles, giant coral and fish sales and fireworks. I will go spend my money there for sure, hell Matt was the only one who kept fresh stock of Reef Nutrition which I prefer.

COME BACK MATT!

Has anyone drove by there or talked to anyone from there since the sell off of the tanks?

Has anyone been there yet? I see heard about this from someone else also, the guy lives close to me and I always see his decorated van out and about. I am wondering if it is worth a trip to visit.

hi friends, for reasons too numerous for a public forum I will not be reopening at the chester pike location. I will be on hiatus for a while while I research my trade and locations, I take with me nothing but fond memories of my time in prospect park. Thank you all so much for your support in the past and for the future.

Peace and Love
Matt
