Good LFS in Vancouver??

[Coffeeman]

Well I pulled the feather duster out after I noticed a greenish grey liquid oozing from the tube,it smelled very bad so I'm quite sure it was dead.Your probably right though,after watching him kill it my gut instinct was to run away and not buy it,but being a newbie I assumed this guy new what he was about.

Christy, thanks for alerting me to the rock price. I've been wanting to order a box for a while now. I placed my order after reading this message today, and had a reply from Allen in short order. I do not deal there personally, I know they set up retail in the recent past, and know nothing about their day to day operations in-store.

However, if I visit there, I will be carrying a large electric eel.... :D

I enjoy all the local fish stores. I spend many of Saturday’s or Sunday’s down at some LFS just to browse and see what people have. I see an interesting coral and I take a mental note of the type and go home and read up on it.

I like J&L because they do have some good stuff. Sometimes I get instant service and other times I could be waving a $100.00 bill and I can’t get any satisfaction. The same holds true at any LFS or any other non-fish store. We shouldn’t base our opinion on 1 or 2 visits.

I do know that you should not bring your kids into J&L when some staff is working (won’t mention names as I don’t want to be flamed). Not cheesing just telling my experience.

But over all, J&L is my number 1 with everyone else #2.

Cheers,
Patrick

Troy seems to be the only Flamer [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

J&L is still #1 on my list, I just go there last, so my livestock doesn't have to wait in the car :D .

Nope, I'm definitely heterosexual and I resent the implication, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Look, you're slinging hash at a couple of businessmen that did nothing worse than let you in on a joke with one of their employees. This is their lively hood. Throwing around the kind of stuff you did can ruin a business.

Now if you want to get real personal you can send me an e-mail or PM or even meet me for a coffee [img]smile.gif[/img] (because I generally believe people are a hell of a lot more polite and don't throw around insults in person).

LOL, Troy that is not what I meant.

Troy, obviously you did not read my other post, they have done plenty to my face and behind my back as well (I caught them).

I ain't out to take away from there business. They are still #1 on my list as i've already stated many times. If you look through my other posts, you will find nothing but good about them,
I post once on just one of several bad experiences, and you jump all over me, calling me "A backstabber", " A cheese spreader",and "A child". And yes you were the only Flamer. I'm not alone out here.

Yes, coffee one day would be good. To clear this issue up [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Post has been deleted. If you or anybody even thinks i'm out to get them and ruin their business, then, @$@$ that !%#@. It's gone.

[Troy F]

What, did you think your comments would be good for business?

[BCReefer]

Lets everyone relax and understand that we all don’t have the same views.

This was/is a good forum on peoples opinions on what LFS that they like. No one should totally destroy a store nor should anyone be flamed for their opinion.

Lets all remember we are in this hobby to enjoy it not tog et in a ****ing contest.

Cheers,
Patrick

I've had my poor moments at King Ed with some of the staff too. I noticed though that a couple of the staff members there remembered all the pets I have and my tank specs after just one conversation. Now when I go there I always get a friendly hello and a quick report on their new stock that they thought might be good in my tank. That kind of stuff I appreciate.
