Hi all. Im planning to open a LFS / aquarium gallery in 2021. hoping to stay near the western mass area and looking for some ideas that could bring in new folks to the hobby and still accommodate the existing hobbyists.
My biggest plan is to have mostly Complete systems for sale with fish coral and equipment all wrapped in a nice display and we would provide install/delivery. essentially allowing people to skip the long wait time of acclimation/ bacteria building and everything that comes with starting your first tank. instead I will simply breakdown and setup the display in your home/office ready to go.
wondering what other unique ideas I can add to this model that you guys might be interested in. my focus is less on livestock and more on installs and maintenance. I will definitely have plenty of livestock like coral and fish for sale but too often i see stores with dead fish or the same stock over and over and I want to create a space that has something different that you can check out every time you come in.
what are some cool ideas from other LFS or aquarium galleries that you have seen that I may be able to implement in my own store.
Thanks for your support and suggestions in advanced.
Happy reefing
