I just picked up this news on ReefBuilders. It's a shocking news to me and most reefers for sure.

Times are tough, and I see it probably getting worse before getting better.

Too bad, but what can you do!

That's too bad, technology moves fast and I don't think they did much to update their products.

I never said that they were deciving me now, don't even know how you got that out of it. They decived people back then. which inturn severly lowered my opinion of the company. there product was good, just not what was claimed, and it wasn't that which formed my opinion it was the companys handling of the issues.
