Equipment for your new aquarium, where to begin?

The fish room staff at Hoffer's Tropic Life Pets is here to help you select
everything you may need to keep your fish happy and healthy. Filtration for
your fish is important, and in Joe's Fish Room, you'll find the widest selection
of the best products on the market. Our staff is trained to help find the right
filter for your specific aquarium needs. From hang on to canister, under-gravel
to submersible, there is something just right for each situation. Depending on
your selections, a heater may be needed for your aquarium. Hoffer's can offer
you a vast array of choices, and help you to find the right size and style for
your aquarium needs. Working with one of our staff members can go a long way in
selecting your desired light fixture for your selected tank. Incandescent and
fluorescent are merely the 1st of many options you will have while browsing our
racks of bulbs and fixtures. Power compact lighting, and all of the possible
trimmings you can imagine are found stocked on our shelves regularly to help you
find just the right effect for your new environment.

Decorating your new aquarium

The beginnings of decorating your new aquarium will take you through our vast
selection of gravels and substrate materials. Joe's Fish Room is well stocked
with every color of the rainbow, from natural to neon, extra large to extra fine
and everything in between! Again, consideration is given to your specific
needs. Will you be keeping live plants? Some gravels are not well suited for
planting, or only for select plants. Our staff is trained to advise you in
which direction is right for you to follow. Plant selections are vast, from
live to plastic to silk, whatever your needs, we can accommodate them to suit
your aquarium and decor choices. Our rock bins are always stocked, with the
largest variety found anywhere. Priced per lb, and well lit with our new
lighting system, our bins are easy to browse and easy to access on your own.
Our staff is happy to rinse any given piece to show you it's true color, or to
remove a piece seen in one of our sales tanks, for you to purchase. Besides the
necessities, Hoffer's Tropic Life is filled throughout the store with various
aquarium decorations. We can introduce you to underwater lighting with our
small submersible ships and crystals, clams and treasure chests, and even our
miniature egg lights. Aeration toys that open and close, divers that swim, and
many many decoration choices await your imagination and creativity to bring them
to life. Joe's Fish Room staff can help teach you how to set up and use each of
your selections if you're in doubt.

If you look up while you browse our aisles, you will see the vast selection of
driftwood we have to offer. Lizards and amphibians use this wood too, so our
fish room isn't just for the fish people! Most of our pieces of wood are
anchored with slate to ensure they stay down where you put them! Should you
find a piece or already own an existing piece that tends to float, bring it into
us at Hoffer's Tropic Life Pets, and we'll help you select a proper piece of
slate and teach you how to mount it, or mount it for you! Nowhere else will you
find the many services we provide at Hoffer's Tropic Life Pets, or the always
friendly sales staff ready to help you.

Remembering that decorating your aquarium is as important as decorating your
home, we are here to see you get only the best there is to offer!
