Aquarium Illusions (this is where you bought your Zoa's was it not) has thier own coral farm and sells their frags pretty cheap. Even if you bring your frags down to 5 or 10 dollars whats that going to accomplish? People are still going to go there because of the convinience plus whether you want to admit it or not eventually your going to need a LFS sooner or later.

I assume you bought the bigger piece. I seen it and almost every polyps was open when I was looking at it. Its too bad you killed it, that was a nice piece.

You must be on AI's payroll! I support all the LFS in Edmonton but to say that there frags are cheapis simply not true!

I buy 90% of my frags from other canreefer's and they are always cheaper and in great condition.

Paddyob I'm sure you didn't KILL IT as Ryan put it but we have all had thing that died and I'm sure you did everything you could to keep it alive, sometimes it's just not meant to be!

I know how it feels to lose an expensive zoa frag, my PPE frag i got from wicked frags didnt make it, it never opened for me in any of the 3 tanks I put it in and then developed an infection. I dont blame dave though it just part of the hobby.

It is partially my fault for buying it in the shaPe it was. They Should not have sold them. and dude i got a green bubble tip on here. $20. No retailer would sell that low. plus the free stuff on here for trades. can reef is great.

After a discussion with somebody i respect, i admit my frustration has gotten the best of me and that the retailer in question took alot of the brunt. i apologize to anyone who was indirectly, or. directly affected. they know who they are and there is no reason to list them. any comments? PM Them to me. i will respond .
