Some store displays we've set up.

It's been a while since I started my little business, and going around doing some store demos, so now I have put together a little album of store displays I (and a few of you guys have assisted with) have done around the country.


First up, this little ripper which we scaped at the very first Aquarium Expo in 2012. This was on our stand... I think we've come a long way since this! LOL!




This tank we set up at the expo, to be transported back to Dorry Pets afterwards. This tank has gone through a few changes, but it still looks pretty good.




While we're on the Dorry Pets side, we should have a look at the beast. This tank, setup about a year ago now. Feels like longer.




There is also the low tech we set up at the expo last year, which I must get a picture of next time I'm at Dorry Pets.

We also did a tank at Loolilocks, but unfortunately the tank cracked a few days after the setup.


Sams Aquarium also had a lekker tank scape day, with Ray, Angus and quite a few of you lot. This tank looks way different now, and has been looked after by Trev, Peter and a few other Sams customers:




The tank at Petstop, which was pretty cool, but I don't have any pics of it.


Then the most recent ones have been at Lifestyle Pet Hyper, which I need to get a proper pic of, as well as a more recent one: Setup day. (About a month ago)




Perky Pets was set up on Thursday last week, so I'll get updated pics every so often:




And finally, Angus and myself set this little guy up at Yuppie Pets in Bellaires on Sunday. I think when it grows in it will also be a magnificent little tank!




It's been a busy couple of years!

 

Hey bud.

Some stunning tanks there. Well done. When you coming to durbs to set one up for me?

 

When you booking the flight? :tongue:

 

@Sean J will you be doing something for @JungleAquatics for their opening? I think you need to convince guys like VIP pets @ northgate and strubens valley, along with the hillfox branch and Pretoria branch to get something going there as well, they are missing out! Use that great selling skills of yours!

I rate Perky pets and Sams the best if I was judging...haha

 

Great work!

 

Stunning Set-ups!! :congrats::adore:

The Dorry Pets Setup is my Favorite :top:

 

Awesome Sean... I remember talking to you when you were still involved in the negotiation stage to bring the ADA into SA. It seems like almost a lifetime ago.

You and your little company really have grown in leaps and bounds, it's so awesome to see.

Congratulations on some really epic set-ups.

 

Yes, it's been a very tough 3 years. I can't actually believe it's nearly 3 years now. But you know what they say, put in the hard yards, and it will happen!

I'm doing another store setup on Thursday in Vereeneging.

 

Nice! Where if I may ask?

I moved to PTA this year from that side

 

Doing the display at Die Visdam.

 

Ah!! Love that place!

Know Ernst very well! He's a discus enthusiast himself Please send my regards (Gordon)

Good luck and please post some pics once done!! :top:

 

Will do, and will do! I lived I. The Vaal for 4 years. Got out as soon as I could! Hahah!

 

This is the tank we did at Die Visdam. This was on the day of the setup, I am trying to find a more recent pic, I will upload when I find it.




And this is the Tank at Lifestyle. It's looking pretty cool. (Sorry about the Glare. It's really hard to get a good pic of this one.)

 

These tanks are awesome. I wouldn't mind having one like that. Well done!!! arty:

 

@Sean J I must be honest, I see both tanks @ yuppies and lifestyle, and both looks amazing. But that tank @ lifestyle is really impresive! Healthy. Love the 2 carpets as well.

 

Thanks Hennie. The tank at yuppie pets is also a multi carpet tank. It is glosso and Monte Carlo. But I do love the carpet in the lifestyle tank as well.

 

@Sean J yes, I saw that, I think the hair grass looks great in a carpet though. Then The tank @ lifestyle, what wattage light are you running per litre in that tank? For a good looking tank it seems rather low with that odysea unit? Also how many hours of light a day?

 

The light unit is a 24watt x 4 unit. It's not a lot of light, but there is ample ambient light in the shop as well. If I was going to hazard a guess at their lighting schedule, I'd say it's on for at least 9 hours a day.

You don't need a hell of a lot of light as long as there is enough Co2, it will work.
