IMO that's from stupid store Lucky Goldfish that was spamming the boards earlier, hell vnog recently posted something which got deleted by a moderator which I'd only guess was the same type of thing.
They also advertise on craigslist of a commercial nature which I thought was against the rules.

Damn, I wish I had seen the listing. I've found that CL is getting pretty vicious. I tried selling my live rock this weekend and I was flagged no less than 4 times in as many hours. I actually had two other people write to me and complain about the flagging.
This happened quite a bit a few months back and people all blamed Lucky Goldfish. From what I hear they need to do it because the run a fish/coral Auschwitz. My friend stopped by to buy one of their sale clams and he said it was sad how bad everything was.
I'm not blaming LGF, but I have been taking my frustration out on them and flagging all of their listings again. I'm kind of sick of them.

Yeah he is nice but advertise here or on craiglist is not cool. I used to go there pretty often. I hear a lot of people buying fish there and nuke their tank. Two of their big tanks smell worse than my skimmer. I was hoping that they will improve but disappointed everytime I go there.
Oh.. When was the last time you were there?? Their price aren't cheap any more. Even if it's cheap I wouldn't buy fish there.
Went down this Monday to check out what's new. If the guy was a A** I won't post anything but he 's O.K. and I don't think he getting a fair deal. I don't really care if he post ads on craiglist since it up to me to look at it or not. Don't want to give a price but it was a deal.

Can't speak for the store personally, because I've never been, but if they're going to advertised "covertly" (i.e. they really suck at it) on reef boards using employees, family members, or themselves without permission of the board before hand (i.e. in the case of sponsors on the BAR board), then they don't deserve my business.

The ad was flagged by CL staff b4 I got a chance to read it. Anyone copied it or still have it in their cache?
I've been to this store several occassions but always left empty handed. I don't know, I'd buy things or two from 6th ave when i'm there but for some reason, I always get a bad feeling when going here.

Here's another one. I dont know if its was the same post, but another one with BS promoting them. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/351768700.html
In case it gets removed, here what it says:
King aquarium is no good, they rip you off. Also they are flag people no reason. It better to go Lucky Goldfish!!! Excellent service and wholesale price to the public. Screw you King Aquarium, I'm so glad Lucky Goldfish is here!!! Last time I see SUPER RARE BLUE SCOLYMIA,
from BALI! Also in is SUPER RARE AUSSIE ACAN, great for reef! Always good deals there, be sure to swing by.

Here's a good example of why I don't shop there:
"King aquarium is no good, they rip you off. Also they are flag people no reason. It better to go Lucky Goldfish!!! Excellent service and wholesale price to the public. Screw you King Aquarium, I'm so glad Lucky Goldfish is here!!! Last time I see SUPER RARE BLUE SCOLYMIA,

Regardless of what King did, if anything, this kind of behavior is absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't care if they were selling pink lemonades colonies for $5; I'll never step foot in there again.
