I am sure that with the amount of things Matt purchased for Exotic in the past and Fish Planet now, that they are opening specially for him. That being said "THEY AREN'T OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS!!!" Like any other buisness, these places are not stupid. They understand that Matt spends several thousands of dollars at a time and I am sure they are opening to accomodate him. The places I go when I am down there are not open on the weekends. I also can only get into them because I used to work for a huge place in Socal and know a few people. Showing up there with 3 other hobbyists would be the easiest way in the world for me to lose my priveledge. If this is part of the reason we were heading down there and you guys want to back out, I completely understand. As a rule I usually never take other reefers to the wholesalers as well because I do not want to anger the LFS and feel as though it would be an abuse of my privledge. I spend the majority of my money at the LFS just the same as everyone else. When I do go to the wholesaler, it is usually to buy stuff for the MARS raffle. There are some amazing places I had in mind of visiting while we were in L.A., the wholesaler was just not one of them. If Matt wants to take us though to one that specially opens for him on a saturday I am ok with it. I am sure he has a lot more pull and access than I do. You have to ask him for that though.
