The owner LOU is nothing but an A**HOLE and con artist. I recently moved to westchester and have a 90 gallon reef setup. A friend of mine brought my attention to this store, but warned me about dealing with Lou, saying that he'll sweet talk you and be your best friend as long as he knows you are spending money, otherwise he's your worst enemy when you're not. Well nothing could be more truthful. i recently bought about $600 worth of corals, fish and inverts all said to be 100% reef safe. My tank has been up for over 2 years, with no deaths in the past 10 months. What happens next, the fish are eating some corals, some of the crabs are eating some of my polpys, and a red rose anenome crapped out in less than a week. I understand the hobby so i can take a death or 2 whatever, but not the rose anenome. Lou specifically sold me the particular anenome that crapped out for $150, saying that it was his best one none of the others were eating, whatever. So I come back in and he has 2 others that look great. So I ask him what he can do for me and then he erupts. He orders me out of the store and says, "Get Out!!!!!, I'm sick and tired of this SHIT, fuck all of you customers."**** Edited , please no personal attacks **** I am going to contact better business bureau, but I ADVISE EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM JAWZ!!!!! How's does anyone shop at this store?
