That's Dave Shumacher,  he runs a reputable business.

IIRC- it used to be Armkes or something like that years ago. But, he's been around for a long time&  I've seen many people, on various forums,order from him&  be satisfied .

I previously mentioned that Marty or I was planning to put an order together. If Marty does not do an order from Old World, I was planning to put one together from Dave's.
This would not be like previous orders that I brought in, i.e. I buy everything and you shop from my stock.
He doesn't offer wholesale pricing (I already checked).
I will not be marking his prices up for my profit so what his list shows is your base price. Each person would be responsible for an additional cost percentage for shipping. I would put the order together and pick it up at the airport for us.
I'm just waiting to hear from Marty if he is going to do the order from Old World....stay tuned  ;).

I agree with others that Dave is a reputable dealer, very knowledgable and a nice guy.  I've met Dave in his retail shop in San Antonio which he's now closed.  He remains in business, just doesn't operate a retail shop any longer.  I found his prices a little higher than other options but if he's got something you want and can't find elsewhere, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Dave.

No, not yet since Blair has the New World order currently in progress.
I am possibly going to put this one together after that...I already have been in touch with Dave regarding us doing a group order so it would hopefully be soon, (a month or two)

He has absolutly the highest quality of fish at a very good price I have had many awsome orders from his. Store. He has a live on delervery policy. That is second to none. If the order goes through I'm 100% in on this. If anyone is looking for somthing inperticujlar. All you need to do is call. And actualy talk to dave. He will more than likely get it if he does not have it in stock but his stock is very vast. His web page is normaly. Up to date. Forare fishb or anythang I have to order. I.  Go through daves.

Looks like I'll be setting up a few more tanks here really soon so I'm ready. Now I just have to figure out what I want

I called Dave today and got his voice mail. He and his wife are expecting a baby very soon and he's not available via phone.
I plan to send him an email to see if we should wait to place a group order. I will let everyone know asap.
