As much as you guys want to protect the store and i realize what "big" store it is. We should not be afraid to simply come out and say the name. Only then will those stores realize that when the Salt water community speaks and stops shopping there, that they need to adjust there business practices. It does not do anyone any good to protect those stores. Theirs not a store out there that i would not come out and state there name if this was the advice i received even if it were my locally trusted ones. Its about holding retailers to a standard of service.

I'm quite sure that someone who represents that store is a Canreef member and this information is something that should be brought to there attention.

I am extremely lucky to be so close to OA and J&L's.

How about gluing him to a toilet and supplying a feeding tube for a few days lets see if he likes it? LOL

I really wish that employees were just trained to say, "I don't know, I will try find out for you." This should be one of the things they are trained on first. Otherwise you get crap like this happening more and more often. There is nothing wrong with not having all the answers and putting in the effort to find out the correct answer.

LOL! I'm trying to UN-superglue my LTA! It will NOT move. It's in the exact same spot I put it - which is where i wanted it to be, but it's grown sooo big, I need to remove it and it won't move, no matter what.

A little hint to keep a Nem (at least an LTA, or Carpet, anyways) where you want it. Corral it in with rocks and it is less likely to roam around. Doesn't work for BTA's, mind you.

I use a powerhead and aim at the LTA and it moves

I don't want to hijack the thread, but, I hammered it with a powerhead for hours on 3 occasions, tried ice cubes, tried yanking at it, tried covering it with rocks, I even got frustrated and handled it a little too hard and poked my finger through the flesh on it's side (gross). It still won't budge. The thing is 14 inches across now and endangering a couple of expensive corals. I need to get it out! but I don't want to kill it, of course.

Its not gonna just get up and walk around leave the power head on it overnight, aim it at its base and you'll find its not were it was. You have to realize that its base could be 6inch inside your rock work. My 18inch anemone had a base that was at least 12 inch inside my rock work. It could completely disappear if it wanted too.
