i dont buy from FAOIS and never will and i dont really buy much stuff, i like my money. and i push that store cuz i know is cheaper except for the TUNZE equipment i'll give it to watever his name is at FAOIS

i know if i was the store owner of this Holiday Aquarium i would be a little concerned right now. Have you talked to him and asked him to come to the board to see the post you are making about him and his store? Hopefully others will visit the store and give reviews on it. The ones you are giving just sound a little biased. I agree on the whole cheaper isnt better theory.
 
Ok, This thread is about a guy moving to Tampa and wanting to get some info on the local area, SO...how did like the last 20 posts help him out?

davidryder,
If you need any specific info on the area let me know I'll be glad to help you out best I can.
 
I agree. Sorry about the thread getting all hip hop drama on you David.
People feel very strongly towards their favorite stores around here and it gets touchy sometimes but you gotta love the passion.
 
If you drive around saint pete stop by Rockin Reef They are very nice too and have nice stuff and nice prices.
 
Passion is what is all about, not war , this is silly , hey DaddyJax you should proceed with your dreams and open your own store, I'm planning on it too, got to step it up and stop farting around. Little by little mang.

well i live right next 2 you but you're moving next 2 two of the most expensives fish stores around, see me i drive to us 19 and get everything cheaper from holiday aquariums
boy buddy you sure know how to make someone not want to move here ! i'm guessin since you are a noob that you didn't like johns advice because the truth hurts ! you have gone out of your way to show what kind of reefer you really are - a poor one ! i'm also guessin that this perticular store you push is the only one that can put up with your *$$ w hole attitude !
i would have to say that faios must be doing something right to be one of the only true reef stores that is actually still open while many have tried and failed ! maybe its time you go back to your cave !
 
Thanks Laz, but I just can't right now and will probably not try again for a while. I will let John and Matt keep the iron hot for me;) so when I retire from work I can have another go at it.


Oh and since we have a few loungers here....I own page three!!!!:wave:

john doesnt like to help, he told me to read a book and than ask him questions, dont seem much helpful to me, more like he has priority on people that spend the big $$$$$$$$$

Thanks for the info... but I'm moving to Tampa, not trying to get a date with John. :lol:

and i also keep saying cuz i notice a lot of people be catching feeling when i talk bout FAOIS. like ya getting paid

That's a post that actually made me giggle.. And you have posted how many posts this week praising the store in Holiday?:rolleyes: Are you sure you don't work there? On a side note, I have to defend John here a little bit... Sure he has that overly bubbly personality that everybody likes, and talks about (lol), but he is one of the few in the LFS business that actually cares what he's selling his customers. And no I'm not getting paid to say that, read my occupation if you want proof ;) If you are looking for sick fish and brown or bleached corals that are hanging on by a thread, then you definitely don't want to go to FAOIS, as he won't sell them to you there.... Sorry to bring the thread even futher off topic, but it gets hard to bite my tongue sometimes.


OK Back on topic.... Welcome to the great sunny area of Central Florida! :)
 
Welcome to the area. I moved here a year ago and I like it here. I'm sure you will too. Just not having a boat is killing me inside. lol

ot- the drama comment. John was on the phone with me for about 45 min educating me on acrylic tanks. Also spent his valuable time trying to fix my broken pump when everyone else told me to buy a new one. I'm not even close to a reef baller$$$. faois ftw. :D

but say goodbye to the bad guy...... im out of this thread

Gosh it feels good to be back in town, I leave for a few days and look what I missed.
Let me guess, you are off to take english lessons. I recommend re-reading those fish books once you finish the english classes. I think you will find out that you misinterpreted most of what was written. Those big words like "cryptocaryon" may have gotten lost in the translation since your preference in stores leads me to believe that you have no idea what "ich" is.
 
ya need to watch wat ya say bout me cuz i can find out who each and everyone of you are and when im in ur face ya wont talk all that ****..... so please keep me outta here and i do got money but why should i spend on fish, my tank is doing good ya stupid **** suckers wasting money on all that expensive stuff
