I did not think so also & here is my personal opinion on it. The new LFS are killing them, they used to be the only big sw store in town so everyone had to shop there, now that beldt's has new ownership & chad has opened his store, there business has dropped severly, so now they will come to a all time low & try to discredit the other lfs stores as a last resort. Just my 2 cents as a local reefer.

i think you hit the nail on the head with that. ive noticed a change in a few other stores since beldts changed ownership and the announcement of chad opening his store. ive been noticing a little better pricing and people are willing to go out of their way to help you or order stuff for you. but coming out with some ruthless tactics like spreading rumors trying to discredit the competition just shows what type of business they really are, and in fact, i think those tactics are at best petty and juvenile, so here we go back to the he stole my crayon and broke it thing again

Wow I think that 93foxstang just killed any potential customers from ever going to MS again. Seriously why would you want to shop at a store that employees people with such a bad attitude.
As for the stores that I currently shop at. I praticullary like the guys at nemo's pets. I helped him on opening day. I really like what Dan and Tom have planned for the future. It is going to be sweet.
Also I have never been told any bad or false advice by anyone that works at CPE. Jan is one of the nicest ladies that I have ever met.
As for the other stores in the area I have nothing bad to say about anyone. Draw your own conclusions and keep them to yourself.
And MS may want to think about some new employees.

The policy for this forum should be pretty easy to follow: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." We were all taught this in kindergarten. If you have something bad about a person or store, then PM people with your thoughts.
This "thread out of control" stuff is happening way too often and it's driving nice people from our forum and preventing them from an opportunity to learn from experienced reefers.
There has to be a forum on the net for people who need to blow off steam or rant about their life. Go find it. PLEASE let's keep this forum a freindly place to learn and share about the saltwater hobby we all love.

My experiences have been as follows:
CPE - I love that store! Always have clean tanks, very little/no algae, great coral and fish selection. They were the ones that gave me my first coral (a red mushroom) and I've never looked back after that
The only downfalls that I can forsee with this store are the parking problems. They're a little pricey but I think that's due to the location and their track record...I don't know about you guys but I'm willing to pay a little more for something that I know isn't going to die on me or bring in some nasty bugs!
Andys - I have mixed feelings about this store. I think it could be a little cleaner in general and I agree with the hit and miss statement. I bought a green and purple frogspawn there and I couldn't be happier with it. However, I bought 3 seahorses from them and one died on the way back to my house...
TWP - They've got some good deals and nice coral. However, most of their fish only tanks have major algae problems (or at least they did when I was in there) and they seem to have a slight problem with pest anemones such as majano.
I can't comment about the others as I haven't been there yet, but I will continue to shop at CPE and TWP.
