  1. LFS' - Special orders from customers on drygoods?

    I also do a lot of special orders on drystock for customers. As JennM said it's a win/win situation.
  2. Another one bites the dust.

    Sorry to hear that. Good Luck to you. I don't know about everywhere else but this summer has been very bad for stores in this area.
  3. Sumps supplier?

    It's a decent skimmer. I think you'll like it. It's not a top of the line skimmer, but not all my customers can afford top of the line skimmers. IMO it's a good skimmer at a very reasonable price.
  4. Sumps supplier?

    I've sold quite a few of them, with no complaints from anyone. They seem to be a nice skimmer. Here's a pic of one in action.
  5. maxima clams

    Thanks Chip, I order from ORA every two weeks. The last list I got from them only showed 1 1/2" maximas available. I've been waiting for bigger ones to show up.
  6. maxima clams

    What's the deal with Maxima clams? I haven't been able to find any except the small ones for a long time. Plenty of croceas but no maximas.
  7. Did ORA survive the huricane

    That is good news.
  8. Did ORA survive the huricane

    I just heard some disturbing news. Another store here in the area called me and said ORA was destroyed in the huricane. I tried calling them but couldn't get through. Has anyone heard anything from them?
  9. Do you still get excited?

    Wayne, I usually ignore you, but I'll play along this time. You have zero knowledge about my store or its policies. Reform is fine, REEFORM if it has anything to do with you I'll pass. Why should I be worried? If your eyes aren't brown they should be.
  10. Do you still get excited?

    One more time, so maybe you'll understand. It is only a bill it isn't a law. To answer the question that was the reason for this thread. I still get excited when I get in a shipment of sps. I really don't get excited opening box after box of fish. I don't dislike it and I still enjoy this "job"...
  11. Cyanide: What it does to the reefs

    I can't remember the last time I had to file a DOA claim with any of my suppliers. I don't even keep track anymore. This week I recieved around 100 fish with no DOA. In fact I've only lost one fish this week. It was a bangaii cardinal. It came in Monday and I lost one Friday. I would say my...
  12. What's going on with seahorses?

    They stoped about a year ago.
  13. POP displays

    Shelving signs and ceiling signs work best for me. I have no space for counter displays at all. Free standing floordisplays have to be small for me to use them.
  14. Role of the Internet in the Marine Ornamentals trade.

    No, but the way books are sold sure has changed. I couldn't stand to try to read a book on the internet (although some of these threads are like novels) :lol: Wayne and Steve, You are both correct in the case of livestock. There is a lot of merit in a united group of LFS, but the truth is...
  15. Role of the Internet in the Marine Ornamentals trade.

    Mitch, Great post. We can't all e-tail and we can't all sell premium stuff. I've only been in business 2 years but I've found a way to compete without e-tailing anything. Here's an example. Price on 30 lb. Carib Sea sugar size aragamax. DFS $17.99+ $4.50 shipping Other...
