New saltwater fish store off in Hillview by the sarasota hospital

I think it is wrong "Duece" is going on this forum and the Tampa Bay Reef Club forum and just cutting and pasting these "advertisements" for this new store. Check out the other forum and you will see what I am talking about. I wonder how many other places this person has pasted this advertisment.

It is very unethical statement he is making and it is insulting that this person has most certainly not visited some of the better stores around. I would hope they are not in cahoots with AA, as I find this in very poor taste, although you will have to make the judgement for yourself.

I would assume this is a violation of RC policy? Also, As both Laura and I are natives to Florida (Bradenton), we also do not appreciate the slander to our fellow floridians. If it is so bad, why do we have some many people from the north moving here?

BTW Duece --->Our family has owned a house in NC for over 20 years, but that does not mean I know everything about the stores in North Carolina and I certainly would not assume to make bold statements such as yours...

Checked out the store today, whoaa! Nice store and owner. Picked up some nice zoa's and a frogspawn. Can't wait to go back when he gets more zoa's in! Also saw greg and a few other member's from here at the store.

I play at the 5 O'clock club on friday happy hours and had some time to kill yesterday before setting up, so I went in and checked it out. All I can say is WOW love the store and picked up a beautiful little orange plate with multiple purple mouths. Chris also seemed very nice and I was not aware of all his accolades.
 
Aquarium Architecture is one of the best reef stores I have been in locally. This store has a great display tank of any of the stores in the local area (Tampa too Sarasota). I have been to all the stores and only one other compares to the coral selection they have at this store, but he also has great fish selection too (Beautiful Cross Hatch Trigger). Chris was very helpful with all are questions and helped us pick a Ro / Di from his store, and other critters. Glad to see such a quality driven store come in locally and bring more then just fish…..

Also I mean no disrespect to other store’s this is just my personal opinion after going to 5 stores locally on Saturday, and many day trips up to St.Pete, Tampa, etc. Also Deuce I think its great your still supporting Chris and it really shows how much he will be missed up north, I’m just glad he decided to give us crackers a chance.
 
I cant resist myself in that store. I go in and come out with livestock every time:)
