hey i only say what I think.....plus look at this link at big al's site.... http://www.bigalsonline.com/cgi-bin/...ting&inSub=234 i dont know about you or perhaps I cant read but I dont seem second most expensive lights that I see on their catalogue is the coralife 175w 10000k for 219.99....so perhaps the lights that you bought were these

hey its not like i m saying things out of the blue without any evidence or anything...i did check bigal's website and they didnt have anything about 175w radium light.....perhaps the reason justin thinks they are could be because the sales person didnt know what he was talking about but hey i wasnt there to witness anything...I m only saying things base on my seach on big als website and base on how other website and places sell radium 250w for 119.99

namscam, it's more the way you said it than what you said. This thread (and others) have taken on adversarial tone and I'd just like it to cool off a bit. You are entitled to your opinions, but please think about how the other person may interpret your comments before you hit submit.

Well if I say things without any proof or if someone has proof to prove me wrong then I ll apologize for it,but I stand by what I say because :
1: I have not been proven wrong yet
2: I have proof of what I said
3: Although they maybe harsh but it is only my opinion and not others....People should not get offended by opinions of others. The only reason why people get offended is when they know it is true...If it is not true then why do you need to be offended by it.

I'm not saying don't stand by what you say. I asked that you reconsider how you said it. Thank you.

[Namscam]

well ok then....I guess I was wrong in saying that big als ripped him off....But I for one have found big als prices to be a little bit on the steep side on some items when comparing them to king eds or J&L

Yes, you are dealing with a random group of reefing hobbiests in Canada (predominantly from Western Canada and who have Internet connections). A few members are also business owners. But we're pretty much the typical customer of the Local Fish Shops with the difference that we share data amongst each other. As we move into the future, more customers will be "connected" and businesses will have to adopt (in my opinion of course). Businesses in competitve markets really are price takers (driven by supply and demand) http://coba.shsu.edu/micprin/EcoGloss/mq.htm#P-taker

A lot of us bump into each other at the stores on a regular basis. Sometimes, we are oblivious and don't realize that. There has been occassions where 3 or 4 members happen to meet at the same time at the same store, who have never met each other before, and introduce themselves.
