Big Al's Richmond has Clams

[mikeb]

I am responding to Ians post . I've known John for a long time and had to reply. Ians post was wrote in the wrong context. Ian was i'm sure trying to say that all stores get complaints.Some maybe just and other posted by people that have had a tank for a few months and now think there the formost authority on reef keeping.There is a big difference between having a tank at home and looking after a store full of tanks.I feel the better the stores out there the better it is for everybody. As for suppliers I can only speak for ours and i havn't seen much better. Everyone gets a rough shipment once in a while ,but in four years i've only seen a couple and thats because of airline problems.Our last bali shipment had one loss out of 5 boxes.Ian has never been there to put away a shipment so i don't know if he had a few many drinks before his post.I havn't talk to him yet but will be doing so. Thanks Mike
