Hi Everyone!

Here are a few pics of our shop setup. It took three of us over 5 months part time, mainly after work each night to finally complete! We put everything together ourself from scratch and boy it was hard work!! So please feel free to leave any questions or comments.

Enjoy!

Now that is one sweet looking setup.

Well done, the time spent and obvious planning show in the final results.

The way you have the counter integrated into the display tank is very professional looking.

Thanks for the great feedback everyone!

We will be posting up our specials in the next few weeks so please stay tuned.

Our shop setup consists of over 70 tanks! With one whole row dedicated to us discus lovers! There are 2 main displays, a 9x2.5x2 Geo. tank by the counter and a 8x2x2 housing some juv fronnies atm.
We hope to extend to 100 tanks as we get more established in the near future.

Bubbles is made up 3 partners.. Thi, Toan and myself Tony. The bussiness idea was purely developed because our interests and spendings for the hobby just got out of control! I'm sure you all know what that feels like!! lol

Bubbles is situated just 15mins from Melb CBD. On the way to Highpoint Shopping Centre.

Cheers
Tony
