You know, it's that forum you go to if you want excessive off topic ramblings, and to belittled for anything unless you have Dr. in your name.

im very glad to say that we will have a full line of frags,mini colonie and mature colonies to choose from at affordable prices among many other great ideas we have planned;)

mrhasan 10-30-2012 03:36 AM

A sneak peek perhaps? :)

No spoiler but just an appetizer I guess? :mrgreen:

this is tempting and exciting at the same time,:biggrin:
I will free up some time tomorrow so Denny let Dave know I will be visiting:biggrin:

As most say its always nice to visit LFS and see helpful and experienced staff for whoever needs it.And not only care for making a large sale (preying on the beginners) as I seen this in stores many times over...

ah eli you read my mind lol

as most of you know ive built a name for myself that has expanded to just about everyone both new and advanced, and dave has done the same with concept aquatics and their custom tanks, while we want to succeed we know that we dont need to tell or sell people things just to get extra business, we have both built names based on honesty and quality first. one of our goals is to make concept a friendly place to just come and hang out , talk it up and if you see something you like by all means its available and we will do our best to make everyone happy and accomodate everyones needs as best we can

we are going to be working hard to price things fair and we are working on always having a good supply of livestock both on the floor and out in the growtanks;)

if youve dealt with concept before you already know dave always gives the best deal he can , and our livestock will be no different and we look forward to becoming something new and different in calgary:)


eli , im there all day tomorrow as is dave so drop in for a chat eh;)

You, by no means, is going to let me save money!!!!! First you got me hooked with zoas (got 11 different types in a month time; which I would think is pretty quick for a newby) and now you are dragging me into going to LFS every single day. Atleast make sure a bus goes directly from UofC :mrgreen:

It will be announced once its finalized, wont be long though:)

And absolutely buddy this store is for everyone, we will try our best to make sure those living outside of Calgary has access to an updated website and as always shipping is available and group orders are welcome.

For the record we ship everything from 500g monster tanks to small accessories and livestock right across the country:)

Looks like ill be in Edmonton Saturday if anyone wants to join me at red coral for a coffee;)

i hate not knowing the darn prices of stuff..

i hate even more when a price is just thrown off the top of someones head...and more than likely is different the next day lol

seriously...mark the prices!!

yup agreed...I am pretty new to this as well so not only listing the price but also having a picture would make my life soo much easier.

I hate being lied to (you dont know something, TELL ME! dont pull cr@p out of your @$$ to make yourself look smart), and I also do not do well with attitude! Oh gawd, thanks Denny now Im on a rant.

I also like clean spaces with staff who dont smother, seeing an inch of creep ontop of tanks makes me want to barf (if you cant take basic housekeeping care what makes me think you take care of your livestock..)

OooooOooo oh and being able to bring stuff in is reeeeeeeeally nice! I really dont mind waiting for something if it can be brought in, its also a great way to gain more business cause I know for me I will return cause I know you don thave what I want you will bring it in for me which I totally appreciate!

Clear merching with clearly printed/typed labels also makes me (and especially my OCD) happy.

Speaking of which, I really need to come in and pick your guys brain and see about getting some products.

BC564 10-30-2013 03:40 PM

Ok...so I read all 19 pages of this since I have no life......and then realized its a year old or the date is wrong. Either way its a great thread...no I have not met Denny either so Kien you are not alone however if the date is accurate I am sure you have met him by now. I will have to stop by and see this new store since RC has been out of business I have been laying pretty low. Time to get back into this game and apparently spending money goes along with it. Look forward to the new faces to meet. Oh also....I haven't met Kien either but read countless pages of his room divider build....very nice set up.

lastlight 10-30-2013 03:46 PM

Agreed Kien's absolutely fantastic. Don't even need a pole to determine that.

I would rather we talk about something more meaningful, educational and constructive. 'Designer corals from Fragalot grown with LEDs from Zeovit tanks'. Discuss..

BC564 10-30-2013 04:45 PM

It also kind of embarrassing to ask price of each livestock one by one and its even more embarrassing when the price is way out of the league of the wallet and one have to say "oh well I will pass". Its always better its have the price posted on so that one can silently pass along with something like "oh well, maybe next month!".

Like once I had to hear "man, you are cheap" when I kept on asking price and kept passing on :P

Me too

hfp75 10-30-2013 06:24 PM

It's a consumer world... If you want my cash make it worth my while.

Doesn't bother me to ask and not buy.
