What’s new at Finatics?



What’s new at Finatics?
In the last two weeks Finatics decided to stop doing business with the supplier whom we had been buying our supplies from since we opened in August 2013. The reason for this was simple; they were not supporting our efforts to differentiate ourselves from the big box stores. The discounts were unpredictable if existent and with the salesperson we never knew if we would have the “new- Cool”stuff.

We were subsequently closed last Monday as we drove to Seattle to visit a new product supplier.
This supplier prides himself on building relationships with the mom and pop Pet stores.
 (Small Businesses)(The backbone of America!)  The product lines are amazing, unique and top quality. There is no compromise in quality as compared to the mass produced crap the large box stores are peddling.


A few of the new lines will be things like:



Cobalt Flake and Pellet fish foods
Why Cobalt?  Cobalt Foods are nutritionally superior to the flake foods offered at the department and box stores. All Cobalt foods include a blue flake or pellet which has a triple concentration of vitamins that help support strong immune systems. Cobalt foods contain Garlic and probiotic’s in the form of Bacillus bacteria for healthy digestion. Best of all Cobalt foods are made in the USA.



Aquatop
Aquatop is a fantastic company with an amazing product line including 91% clarity rimless aquariums and plant compatible LED lighting. We now stock the Aquatop heaters, power heads, micro wave makers, UV internal  filters and we will be adding more lines as we are able.



Microbe-Lift
We are also excited to be offering the Microbe-lift line which includes Nite Out II, Special Blend and soon we will have the all natural medication line as well.


Vitalize-Advanced Aquatic Fertilizer line
 “Think plants hate you? Plants want to live! They are adaptable and tolerant but do need a little help from you. If you give them just a little nourishment, they will thrive for you.”
Vitalize takes away the guess work of what to offer plants in the form of Micro and Macro nourishment.








Also;

The New Shrimp – Betta Room
Finatics is excited to tell you that we have almost finished converting our “storage” room into a new Shrimp and Betta room with fantastic “Asian” style Shrimp tanks with LED lighting and unique micro fishes and shrimp!  The room will feature Shrimp tanks, a planted shrimp tank, 2,  55 Gallon tanks, one for high light Aquatic specialty plants and a ½ water ½ land tank for unique creatures such as mud skippers and aquatic crabs!  We will also have a larger bagging area and medication advice area where we can properly look up and help you decide on nutrition and medicating needs.
