Hey alex, don't want to sound stupid but TP ? for some that are not as familiar or noobs

Whelp, there goes the future of Blue Imperator, er, DSD. Doing retail and wholesale from the same building isn't a great business model. It'll make the wholesale customers think twice about dealing with them, even if both business's are owned by different people.

11-2, now that's comittment for you :lol:

Whole different scale Alex, and you know it

FWIW, that just dates you, they don't share any longer

gresham, u know im outdated. i havent bought a coral in probably a year and a half.

luckily my gf lives right down the street from TP so ill more than likely check em out during the week. its always nice to welcome a new store to introduce some competition which then usually means lower prices for the consumer.

Any updates on the possible Tropical Paradise/ExoticReefs partnership?

Gresh, I totally agree with that and have expressed that to Sion as well. But oh well.

the biggest car I can get is a van to haul your tank in and I dont think thats gonna work.. some guy the other day said that he had just got back from your house to pick up LR and said that the prop tank was SOLD.

John is selling his display for hella cheap.

Would they be open this friday as well?

 

[Solitaryensis]

Yup. Im helping Eddie setup the shop now and its confirmed - the soft grand opening will be this weekend and the grand opening will be the following Thursday on Thanksgiving day from 11am to 10pm.

With regard to the wholesaler in the same building, im sure Eddie realizes that this isnt the ideal situation but given the current set of circumstances this was best for all parties. With that said, i think the situation will be very beneficial to the customers and thats what Eddie cares about the most. I think its best if we, as consumers, leave the business dealings to the business men and appreciate this for what it is and will be

I have seen the corals that Eddie received for the opening and trust me, NO ONE will be dissapointed from the beginning hobbyist to the SPS freaks. It will be nice to have a quality shop in the area again.
