Are we talking xxxxx by Mr lube?....they dabbled in sw a few times only to shut it down again. They usually have awesome plecos there if your into FW. There used to be a guy there Nip Wah or however you spelled his name he was very smart when it came to fish but I don't think he works there anymore

This store has been there for a while, not a bad in pricing, except their frags were a little out to lunch, or so I think... I also found them very arrogant.

I've had to remove a GBTA from a rock once that never did let go. I tried hanging it upside down, massaging the base, pointing a powerhead at it, prying at the base with a credit card, leaving it un-submerged and even rubbing it with ice cubes. In the end I had to smash the rock and remove it with the fragments still attached to its foot. Anyone keeping anemones in a tank for sale should know to only have small rock rubble with them or should be prepared to grab a hammer and a chisel.

BUT remember... this guy is VERY "EXPERIENCED" (in selling his customers huge chunks of rocks at $11/pound). He says he does not, and I quote.."rape his customers" but he sure tried to bend me over.

I think "the bald guys" prices are low because he has no service skills at all. Something has to draw people in.

I am gonna name drop.... his name is Shawn. I don't care. He was really insulting. Insinuating I do not treat my tanks well. In most cases I would have lost my temper.... but instead.... I have CANREEF to vent!!!

Thanks guys and gals for reading.

There is a saying.....

"You get good service you tell one person. You get bad service, you tell everyone."

I kind of wish nobody posted the store name.... it is free advertising for him in any way.

I went to that store not too long ago. Never really had any encounters with that bald guy everyone hates. Asked a couple questions when I was there to see if the stafdf had any knowledge. Not impressed but not displeased either. Did not like the selection when I was there and prices on livestock arent too bad but anything else is pretty much the same. All in all I drove to calgary for fish shopping and I wont go back to the store in sherwood park. It is the only one in sherwood park I know of that has saltwater. And yes I agree that people in this hobby NEED to hear to bad with the good too or this **** will happen all the time to other people.
