Go on! At least you'd know there was no theft happening from the staff right?!


I'd like to see a certain regularity to some products specifically Calcium reactor media. I'm finding except for a few niche places a lot of the daily maintenance chemicals are kind of hard to find with any regularity. I know 2-part is all the rage right now so product is pretty easy to obtain, but older methods like reactors that aren't so in favour anymore is what I'm refering to here. And it certainly could be a supply AND demand issue, but I'm noticing this often.

I also buy a lot of stuff in bulk and I really like the option to continue to do so. Bringing 5g pails to fill with chems is both cost efficient and a little more environmentally friendly when you're reusing old salt buckets. I usually buy chemicals, pellet food, and some other dry goods this way and it translates into some huge savings for me and continued business for others.

There are plenty of places like that, but hey....I guess you know them all already. The only fish they have in there are the customers....

Level pricing on livestock and hardware etc. too many price differentials between stores.
Selection-livestock and hardware: seems like they stock up on the common goods and name brands. Would like to see some variety.

I look for different things from different stores. Some have low prices, and others may have nicer stuff and higher end corals and fish, or have more knowledge. But they all need to have something that stands out and they do well, or I won't be coming back. And good customer service is a given.

It's often what stores don't have, or bad things they do that drive customers away. In retail, it is a well know fact that it is much easier to lose customers than attract new ones.
