Also found the mention of Wisconsin interesting...
Why so? DD?
not sure, Who in Wisconsin I am trying to get court records, for Bob Kelton and D R bust. I know who in Michigan, was busted. I did find out Bob Kelton of D R Imports is doing business as Flying Fish Express using a front man named John.
How do we know who is a honest supplier.
I think it is interesting that the Fed's were able to tag with tracking devices the live rock. I thought I heard a pinging coming from my tank...
How do we find out who is a honest business to order from?
I'v done some research into this rock bottom so far it seems they have busted 15 or so people some major wholesale people in Miami, people in California, new york, florida, how do we find out who is a honest business to order from?
Common sense really. Don't order from individuals, especially off E-Bay, "Wholesale" websites, or heck, even here on RC. Also, be aware of anyone claiming to sell Hawaiian, Floridian, or Texan "live" rock. Even 'seeded' dead rock is suspect since those vendors tend to try and hide their seed rock in sanctuaries, even if it didn't originally come from there. Once pulled, the hitchikers that grow on the rock will be protected in all of those cases.
In general, if it has the potential of coming from a reef in US waters, you should shy away from it.
Perrin really surprised people when he was charged.
I agree with you. You make good points. I'm going to research this bob kelton, I do like to give everyone the benefit of dought, in case they're charged wrongly.
Thanks to all for there comments
