db_triggerfish I meant no offense to anyone. I am just looking out for fellow enthusiats. I am not bashing the store. I built the store. I built both 220 coral tanks, set up the 6 125's in the middle that have fish. I did all the plumbing and setup all the UV's, skimmers, pumps, etc... I was a regular at All Seas wholesaler and pretty much ran the store alone. I would love nothing more than to send people there to see the store and my tanks. Unfortunately I know how the owner operates and as a warning to all he can not be trusted. I left the store because he owed me over $5,000 dollars of pay that I never recieved. I pretty much worked 24/7 for 3 months for free. I am not seeking revenge or anything of that nature. I am trying to let all others know what to expect. This is a very expensive hobby and a little bit of wrong information or sick corals/fish can be devastating to a home aquarium. I was there almost 2 years and anyone that knows me will tell you how curteous, kind, informative, and helpful I was. The only reason that store is still open is because of me. I understand where you are coming from and I am not upset so don't worry. I personally know about 7 owners of LFS and if you are looking for frags I can help you out to get to know the owners. I am just giving a warning to everyone to be careful and remember that keeping reefs is a hobby, but selling aquarium goods is a business and $$$$$$ counts more to some people than a healthy customer's tank. Just my 2 cents.
