Well, I did not buy much... I just grabbed a light bulb and a air pump some flatworm exit and that was it.. I wanted to get some corals but.. I held back. Anyone know if its one day only or if they continue for a day or two more? Though I am guessing by tomorrow it will all be gone..

BTW, I was the first "hardcore reefer" there this morning. woohoo.. I thought someone else was but apparently they were working there..

I have been reading a lot of complaints in this thread. I am hoping it was from people who have not occupied this planet long enough to realise you don't always get what you want. I for one am a person who has been around for awhile, and I am very happy that places like J&L, and yes even MOPS exist. , I have always received the best of service (something I can't say about our local dealers) from both these places. When I want something, I order it, and within days it is here. Although I have to put up with UPS. (who, although I only work in the afternoon, invariably show up when i am at work) To those not happy, I say suck it up, maybe tomorrow you will get all you think you deserve.

Hopefully, you don't think I was complaining. Just trying to help people see how things go both ways. J&L is doing the best they can to make everyone happy. Imagine driving 60 minutes to the store only to find out someone ordered all the <fill in the blank> online before the store opened (yes, they could place limits, but the logicistics can be a nightmare).

No, indeed Sam, I was not referring to you.. As to driving an hour to find someone online has snapped up what you wanted, is really no different than saying hello to your buddy, who has picked up what you wanted two minutes before you arrived. Life has a habit of biting you in the a**. We have to live with that, and move on.

Too me its all good. Was so packed in there some people might say the staff was rude but they weren't. You can't expect the world all the time. And they cannot help everyone at once, as it is they had about 7 people working there today. It was nuts this morning.

I have been sick for the last little while and didn't get a chance to go and check out their sale, however all I see in this thread is a whole bunch of whiners. It is pretty simple, the sale on livestock is for here. If you want it then travel to get here. If you think you are getting ripped off, then buy everything from someone in your vicinity.
This is a waste of time thread. If you want to complain to somebody then give them a call, but I am sure they will tell you that the answer you seek is stated quite clearly on the website. If you complain even more, then I am sure they will quite happily hang up.

So,this is all your fault Chad
Seriousely though,did you see any outstanding deals on livestock that made the trip worth while?or were they low on livestock?
