    I just looked this morning and whole systems are going up for $2500 and less... fish, lights, tank, sumps, skimmers, rock... ALL of it. People are liquidating an entire lifestyle. It's terrible but I had to take advantage... going to pick-up an outer orbit pro HQI for $500.

    Interesting.
    Blame "THE LIBERALS"
    The president's buddies are who? BIG OIL.
    His previous line of work? BIG OIL. If you want to throw around blame, try BIG OIL and THIS ADMINISTRATION trying to strong-arm their way into environmentally sensitive areas like ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico.
    Look at EXXON's profits margins last year and the first quarter of this year.

    Then go ahead and blame the liberals for destroying America's "Way of life".

    Just a reminder....

    Any posts, even remotely, relating to politics, religion, or ethnicity (even when in jest) are strongly discouraged here at 3Reef.

    We communist, pinko, religious whacko, and completely deviant members resent it. ;)

    Always sad to hear... a really nice LFS near me used to be thriving... now only family members work there, because they can't afford to hire anyone, and they all work second jobs as well just to be able to keep the place, in hopes that business might someday get better. :-/

    Sure, they cost a few bucks more than some online retailers, but these people spend COUNTLESS hours answering my questions when I first got started, and you can't put a price on that kind of service.

    Has always been just opposite with this LFS...prices for live creatures usually at least half, and often even less then that, of what have seen even cheapest on line dealers asking. Dry goods more, but he can't get them much cheaper then we can get about anywhere on internet.

    Noticed he is having big sale today..."buy one, get another free" --- guess I will be down there spending some $$$ on things I probably don't really need...:p

    (or really have spare $ for...):-[
