I have to say, that I like the staff at JL and they have always been very helpful when they have time. They do spend quite a bit of time with their customers, you just have to have patience... most times when I visit, I stay at least an hour. Mostly because they are on the phone taking orders or answering questions or taking care of another client.
When they are finished I get great service. And knowledgable service. I like that and will wait for it.
As for livestock, they have flat out told me that ALL the good livestock is shipped. I was specifically referring to corals at the time (sps) because all they have in their tanks are BROWN.
Anyways, I stopped by today at 11:30 -12:00 - trust me, you missed nothing by not getting a deal on livestock. Did you want the 1 madnarin dragonet in the store that was missing an eye (but otherwise healthy) or the 6 sharknose gobies or the few tangs and couple of chromis?
Their tanks were empty today. The dry goods, I picked up a few things (and some extra live rock at $3.99 per pound). I was happy I could save a few bucks somewhere. Would have loved a great fish (I am still understocked) or a great piece of coral, but I am not whining that there wasnt any livestock in... it's just a fact of life.
