It has potential. The selection of dry goods is a little scattered right now as are the prices. I think this is largely a matter of working out the kinks. We were there the day they opened. There is a high tech section which has some decent equipment available. They were still cycling the tanks so the fish selection was limited.

They do price match and I would check the on-line prices and compare.

According to John, the manager of the saltwater section, they will be drilling/customizing tanks. Something I'm really excited about.

The owner was one of the owners of Martin's and seems like a cool guy.

If your thinking of making the trip into Philly to check it out I would wait until they settle down and get everything worked out.

Jason took a bunch of photos. Maybe he'll drop in and post a few.
