Default Wai's going down hill?

I was at Wai's yesterday as I was itching to buy some corals, so the family went for a trek (I am near Spruce Meadows) we hit peters for Lunch, then hit Wai's. WOW has it changed there the corals did not look like the normally do.

Also he has such an outbreak of Aptasia it isnt even funny Some of them had heads that were larger than a toonie, pretty much every rock I saw had some


Its sad when there is only a few SW stores in the city and really only 1 that is worth hitting (not going to mention names) That has reasonably priced corals

I can see more person to person trading/selling

I will get off my soapbox now.

Jim

dont agree I was also just there I think his coral tanks look really good.I did notice a few giant aptasia but still they are so hard to control.I just hate his prices.2 high that is why I go there and just look.Might buy a hermit crab when im there.

I have never had any aptasia, but I understand that it would be a major undertaking for a small lfs (with huge turnover) to prevent an outbreak of something or other. I think most of us know that Danny tries really hard to keep his tanks clean and healthy, and wants to sell good products.

Yes, I am defending him, and I will continue to shop there. Just know what you're buying, and inspect it first. Quarantine if need be. I have never been to a store and not found something undesirable in one tank or annother.

I'm not picking on you, Jim, but I think we should be a little more understanding of the efforts such a one-man operation puts forth.

I was there yesterday and I picked up a few fish. They are doing good. Wai's is a great store.

This almost looks like one of those vendor ratings threads we don't allow.....

Reefers are a very loyal bunch when they like who they're dealing with!
