My reasons for voting for Rod

Been around for YEARS....
KNOWLEDGE!
Awesome coral selection
Onyx Clowns
Rod's Food
DIY master
Friendliest guy around
HONEST...won't sell you something when he knows you don't need it
and best of all, it doesn't feel like you're going into some stuffy store when you go there...it's like going to a buddy's house

I always get stuffy when i go to Rod's. It's not the social atmosphere, it's the humidity.

 

[craftytony]

lol...he got a fancy new AC unit put in now....

ROD'S REEF without a doubt for me as well. Although I do shop at others on occasion, Rod has and always will be my first choice in an LFS.

He saved me from continual trouble back in the day and edumacated me on proper reef keeping.

"If you are not having fun with this, then don't do it" is a quote I have heard a few times.

Tony said most of what I would have said, so I won't re-type it, but Rod is by far the reason I do this hobby and decided to come back. He has shown my wife and I the rewards of reefing.

Thanks ROD

:thumbsup:

Rod's my number one!!! Why because he has lots of B-days and wears funny hats...

Oh wait, it's also because he's honest and knowledgeable!

I've shopped at almost every LFS in a 2 hour radius(from Crystal Lake). The one place that has clicked with me the most is Shotank. Matt is one of the most knowledgable guys I've ever talked to in this hobby. Most people are known for one to a few good things they are good at. Matt seems to exceed vast knowledge in almost all subjects(except surges ). The shop is well rounded like Matt too. His fish, SPS, LPS, softies, zoos, clams, used equipment and prices are all what I've been looking for over the years.
Matt is like the "Rain Man" of saltwater knowledge. Only with less stuttering.

SHOTANK, definitely SHOTANK, S-H-O-T-A-N-K, yeaaaahh, SHOTANK.

 

[Salty shoes]

Yeah matt has the best prices around. And he stocks alot fish and corals that you dont regularly see in other shops.

 

[Fishy Bizz]

That's one of the "others". That list was old to begin with. We really need a new updated list.

Jeni,

Nobody is stopping you from putting a new one together. You have been whining about this list since I posted it. Quit whining and put a new list together or just quit whining.

 

[craftytony]

puffy....would you like some cheese with your whine?

 

[jglackin]

And maybe some crackers?

I just noticed that the list has been edited. A certain unmentionable LFS has had their name changed to *removed*. I have no idea what happened, but whatever happened, it clearly seems to be personal. To go to the effort to remove all references to this store off the site, block being able to post the name on the boards, or even say the name in a PM, is beyond just plain business, it has to be personal. Someone has a major bug (mantis shrimp?) up their behind on this. It's almost pathological.

I'm sure it was not very hard to do. I'm sure the admins just put a keyword in a database and the system automatically flags it.

u mess with the bull....u get the horns.....

 

[Pufferpunk]

Owning a site myself, all they have to do is add a certain word (or words) in to their censor list & have it automaticly replaced with, *removed*.

Oh & Craftytonya... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
