Well....it's been a long time since anybody's started a thread bashing Scott's pet shop......and I'm not going to start one now.
GOTCHA!!
I've posted in a few threads that I've been looking for a few tangs. This morning I took the drive over to Deep Reef in Downers to see if I could get my "tang fix". No such luck....nice tangs, but not what I was looking for. From there, my wife wanted to go to Tinley, so just for kicks, I headed to Tinley, by way of Scott's pet shop....thought I'd give it a try after all these years, and wondering if folks inside had changed for the better. I walked in and started looking for tangs. No Achilles....no powder blue.....Wait a minute....there's a pretty nice looking Red Sea Sohal....sticker says $99, just like most of the others I've seen, but this tang is a little larger and nicer looking than the others. I was trying to decide whether I wanted to part with the cash or not when I looked up and remembered the signs that say 20% off saltwater fish. SOLD! I walked down the aisle, saw an employee and asked if he was busy. He said no, and asked what he could do for me. I told him I wanted the Sohal. He then asked one question and made a statement. He asked what size tank I was going to put him in and I answered 180 gallon. He then stated that the Sohals can get pretty aggressive....I told him there were no other fish in the tank, just sps corals. At checkout, he also told me that the salinity the fish was in was lower than I might expect so acclimate the fish slowly.
All things considered, I'm pleased. The fish looks good (pics to come later) and the employee was pleasant. I suspect he is langchin that has posted on the "Scott's bashing" threads.
I just want to say Thanks.....nice job.
