Should have posted this here as a new thread instead of a comment elsewhere since its off topic in its current area.
Ive also been to a bunch of other stores on Bird road. Strictly, Amazing, and Exotic all suck as saltwater stores. Heres why I dont go to them, from my experiences.
Strictly Fish- They sold me live rock that was suposedly cured, and the very next day my whole tank was infested with worms of every type found in the ocean! Including a 12 inch long Bristel worm. There water quality is low, but there prices are high, and there customer service could use some some improvement. They also dont have a very good selection of corals.
Amazing Aquariums- This store is just on the other side of the fence from Strictly. There competitors to eachother and as a result have the same high prices. There water quality is slightly better, but they have a fewer selection of fish and coral cosidering the other half of the store deals with freshwater. I went there one day and saw a 2 ft. long dead Nurse Shark in the back tank with a stressed out slightly smaller horned shark. I came by 3 days later to find the same dead shark was still in the tank. I was told the small horned shark was sold.
Exotic Aquariums- This store is just across the street from Reef. There water quality is the poorest Ive seen of all. It was like a light gray color, last time I was there, and each tank had at least one dead fish in it. There prices are a little better than Strictly and Amazing. There worst problem isnt even bad water quality though...Its Extremley bad Customer Service. I waited there for a full 20 min. before someone attended to me and they had 5 people running the store. One of which was just flirting away with some chick all day. I also asked if they knew where Reef Aquariums was before when he had moved to that location just across the street. They said he was no longer in buisness. A store that would lie to me is something not to be trusted.
