| Hello from Florida! We are Southern Oak Aquatics, an online business started a couple of months ago. What made us decide to start our own business in this economy one might ask? Simple, we were quite fed up with the incredible mark up on anything that had to do with our hobby, our passion. It just seemed like we shouldn't have to save up for 3 months to buy a simple flow pipe set, or that new tank we had been wanting so bad. Then we realized that everyone else out there that had a love for aquatics were probably thinking the same thing. "Do I eat this week, or get that new cansiter filter I have been really really wanting?" So why not just get rid of those monster businesses that get the products at a fraction of the cost and act like they are doing us a favor by selling it for up to a 10x mark up? True, It has been a pretty difficult road finding the distributers the big names use, and building relationships with them to the point of getting fantastic wholesale prices for such a small operation but its so worth it. We are weekly getting new products, livestock, plants,etc and the website is starting to come together nicely too. I am so excited to see what the upcoming year brings for S.OAK. Please check out what we have to offer and thank you very much for the forum and the welcome. :-) | |
