Maybe there is a large amount of new people in the hobby with little knowledge of his past and have tried him recently and having had a positive experience find it surprising to see negative posts and feel compelled to respond.

+1... I have to say that if there was a bunch of negative reviews that were being deleted by mods, then who's fault is that? sponsor or not, I think that all reviews should remain!!! whether they are good bad or indifferent! If you would like to "stand up for members" then it would make sense to keep all reviews... this way members can make informed decisions. It just seems weird to me that Burc would basically tell some of you to go eat dirt while he was nothing but kind with me and gave me ZERO hassle with the VERY few mistakes with my order... I HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING ASKED FOR!!! and the couple mistakes became freebies...

If he rly does rip everyone off then how is he still in business and have so many of us that have been clearly willing to stand up and say we have been happy with him, for he went that extra mile for us! hell I have had other orders from supposed reputable online stores and even LFS's that I had doa's and unhealthy items received and got the oh well it is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it... hell I have had more issues with sponsors on here then I have had with this "non sponsor" (although the LFS one would be my own damn fault since I was new to the hobby and trusted the employee of the store that the corals and fish were healthy when in deed they were not.)

But I feel that Burc has been very professional and even gone that extra mile to make sure I am happy! so to me that speaks volumes about his character and I will continue to use him.

sponsors have the ability to delete posts in their own forums. We didn't delete them, he did.

You misunderstand. Burc deleted the negative reviews himself. We did not.

how many orders have you done with him??? how much value??


i recently had a good experience but ive also had bad, bags of water with zero frags whatsoever.....try arguing that.......that one was a loss....

its hit or miss its that simople yours was good many others arnt and they still arnt, do a search on canreef alone and watch the overwhelming bad reveiws they are there for a reason.....hell google fragalot and see the reviews on other sites its the same everywhere....hit or miss....like i said my last one went 100% good.....they are not all like that ...its like the weather sunny today raining tomorrow:P

Not from me, I haven't bought from him in over two years but a couple of weeks ago when I saw he had WYSIWYG LPS colonies I was all over it. I bought teal hammers and frogspawn, yellow Octos, gold hammers all at very competitive prices. I did have one DOA colony due to a leaky bag, not a hassle getting it dealt with.
