Willfishguy Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hello Everyone. :beer: Though I'm not new to AA, I am back after a much needed long vacation. I'm working on a few projects, one involves trying to grow up a happy and active Tetraodon mbu and the other is building 3- 16'L x4'W x2'H tanks out of wood and glass that will stacked ontop of each other in my fish room. So some of you may see me a lot in the DIY section, with pics, questions and soliciting opinions. Also, for those that are interested or unaware, a new Big Als Aquarium Services is being built in Calgary as we speak. It's very big and is a SuperStore class. So anyone who still has big al award points from the other location will be able to use them in the new location. Lets hope the owners are fish people this time! Also' Aquatic Imports is for sale and if it doesn't sell by Dec. 31 2007, the doors close forever, so everyone pool their money and lets buy it!

JORG Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 So how much money do we need to pool for Aqutic imports----good to have you back Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 So anyone who still has big al award points from the other location will be able to use them in the new location. Highly unlikely...points from one defunct franchise are not likely to be honoured by a different franchisee. Lets hope the owners are fish people this Brian and Nancy own the Edmonton Big Al's already...they are, I daresay, already fish people.

Toirtis Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 So how much money do we need to pool for Aqutic imports About $200K, but that buys only the company name and the tanks...the building is another cool million or so.

I may be a bit daft and I haven't been in there for a while (12 years if I'm thinking of the same place) but I'd be hard pressed to believe there is 200K of tanks and name there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual fixtures would be worth perhaps $20k-$30k, I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big als reward cards are not franchies specific, but corporate cards and can be used at any and all locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
