I have never been there, and I should go, but I am hanging around, as UPS might come to deliver Alan's new ballast.

I gotta agree with KGB, I am never excited when I walk into that place.
I believe Ross said that they have a great SW fish selection and I agree with that but that's IMO the only thing they got going for them.

Well one thing about riverfront..I can say I like that fish and that fish...and then I can say I'll pick them up next week, and that is OK with them (I have been dealing with them for a while). And when they are picking out fish from a tank for me...they will unually pick the nicest ones without me asking. As for the display ... it doesn't do anything for me either ... but try that at LSO? (not specifying and store in particular).

Oh and they only lie 38% of the time

You know that X used to supply (what does that mean....send over what he didn't want ??) the SW stuff to Riverfront ?(he told me so). I know he was backpedalling on that a lot a year or so ago.

I don't mean to imply anything by that of course. It's just the frenzy of contagious truths.....

yikes...at least the last shipment came from the airport...sombody Yu enterprises

They are definately working on their image. They have some new staff (which are not teenagers ...mostly), they are in the process of replacing all of their tanks and they are tying to increase the amount of SW stuff they have.

On the really really down side is the sign "try feeding your snake baby bunnies" and then they have a box of cute little bunnies ...

I have to really not look at that
