The following is a list of just a few of the reasons why you should own a Poseidon tank.

DISPLAYING FRESHNESS
A well-placed Poseidon tank surrounded by marine or seafood themed decorations and
displays is the most attractive feature for any restaurant or supermarket. The modern
discriminating customer may hesitate to buy any kind of seafood if they are uncertain as
to its freshness. A display of live lobsters, or other seafood such as fish, crabs, and shellfish
creates great confidence as to the freshness of the seafood and an impulsive desire to purchase it.

STORAGE
It is very difficult to predict the consumption and sales rates of seafood. Most restaurants
and stores order only what they can certainly sell within one or two days. Poseidon tanks
are an economically sound alternative. Poseidon tanks allow you to order supplies for the
whole week and be prepared for any eventuality with no risk of ever being over or under
supplied. This especially applies to out-of-town businesses, where regular delivery is not
always available.

WEIGHT GAIN
During transportation, lobsters spend a minimum of one or two days out of water. As a
result, lobsters lose weight, weaken or even die. In a Poseidon tank, even very weak lobsters are revived, regaining up to 15% of their weight.

INCREASED SALES
It has been proven that seafood sales more than double when there is a display of live
seafood. For most businesses, an investment in seafood tanks is returned within a year.
Live seafood display tanks are becoming the norm more and more, not only in restaurants
and supermarkets specializing in seafood, but in steakhouses, ethnic restaurants, other
themed restaurants, hotels, etc. Simply displayed, live seafood will attract more customers,
increasing your sales.

ECONOMY
Live lobsters kept in a refrigerator will die maximum in three days, afterwards it becomes necessary to boil and deep-freeze them. This causes a loss of moisture, flavor and weight consequently resulting in customer dissatisfaction and sales loss. When placing seafood in tank, you keep it preserved and fresh, improving customer satisfaction and saving on daily seafood deliveries.

**************************************************************************

Before deciding on the kind of tank, be sure to compare the features and performance of
the various tanks. There is often a considerable difference between the water-to-lobster ratio and the indicated capacity for lobsters that manufacturers claim for their tanks. There are also vast differences in the quality and performance of filtrations systems. These two aspects alone can cause major variations in tank performance. Also, the time interval between water changes can range from two weeks to six months, affecting the amount of labor needed to maintain your tank.

Poseidon tanks are the most advanced and reliable tanks, guaranteeing quality seafood.
