Shunning the locals

[Blue Deuce]

I came over from Orlando a few years back and bought a couple hundred lbs. for my 125. I am slowly getting my 72 together. I went to your site and it says no more local pickup.

Why ?

I think I can tell you a bit.

first off he had a bad year with "Red Tide" that meant something had to give.

so Rich is still doing the live rock and other stuff but had to let the store and staff go.

so you can order from him, in the order specifiy you will come to tampa to get your stuff and he will work out the details with you.

I think what the web site says is no more store open on saturdays.

here:

Local Pickup: We are no longer open to the public, as we are having to make trips to the Keys to collect rock. If you live locally and wish to purchase a Package, please fill out online order form with comments and we will arrange delivery.

so go make that order and Rich will take care of you


PS: this weekend I'm geting a new tank and starting it off with some new sand from TBS

Thanks

what I recall is that the keys location got hammered. storms last year and before.

all the rock (as of what I last heard) is gulf rock now.

as for when, place an order and he'll take care of it and tell you when. before x-mass he was diving and shipping. weather here has not changed a lot in the last 2 weeks so I'd bet he is diving today
