Not trying to start a revolt just stating what's obviously fact

No need to toot your own horn Denny , that's what were here for.

I couldn't agree with the statement above more, never even meeting me Denny SHIPPED me a Nuc. Green frag free of charge. It's people like this that act as the proverbial glue here at Canreef, remove their ability to provide help and you have a house built of sponsors, not a home built for us.

In addition most of these sellers are providing something very few vendors provide, actual aquacultured frags, grown in their own home systems. Not a single store in Calgary at the moment has an actual propagation system. What option does this give us besides wild caught?

Please Canreef, stop oppressing the little guy before its too late!

Lol...

guys, this website is a business and like it or not, we the users are it's commodity.

This will not be the last change created to stifel the "black market" we create for ourselves as lets face it, the easier it is for us hobbysist to communicate, trade and sell at fair prices the harder it is for vendors to make their margins.

He who has the gold makes the rules.

We fear change

If vendors are worried about loosing money to guys like Denny then maybe they should one up him and bring in new exciting pieces we all drool about over the web
