Why don't you order from a vendor who is easier to locate???

I called Hidden Reef today...they seemed dazed and confused when I asked them about T5HO bulbs. I didn't end up ordering anything, especially after I asked for what choices they had in 39w Actinic and the person asked me what that was.

i go there about once a week mike is never there anymore he is too busy paying bills seems as though not many people support the small lfs everyone drives out to the big stores which have more on display. hidden reef will do their best to find what you are looking for. pm me if you want me to leave mike a message though.

Mike is usually only there early in the morning, he has taken on two jobs to try to keep up on the bills. He is still open and doing his best. You will find the best times to get him are on weekends at 9-10 am. I wish him all the best...it is tough to be an independant owner and deal with some of the staff issues he has gone through....

Mikes a great guy, I have never bought anything from him and not gotten an awesome deal. probably part of the reason things are the way they are. We gotta support the little shops. You wont get deals at other places -- not naming names, and when you ask mike or his staff something, they dont answer with resentment and a look of "why are you even in this store if you cant remember the name of every wrasse that ever existed"! Come on people-- there were 400 people there when he has a huge sale, how about the rest of the time!

On a totally unrated note........ I was watching the news and someone got shot & killed in the mall the Hidden Reef is in.

25 year old victim who is known to police. They think it was a targeted hit.

Cheers,
