you LFS urban legends or...

[sasquatch]

Tales of utter stupidity!
Thinking back a bit now, my "friend" owned an lfs and convinced us that 27 yellow tangs in a 250 would be absolutely stunning, and it was for about 3 days.

Had a friend visiting from the mainland and he picked up a clam I ordered from a big lfs, when it was an empty shell the next day I called and asked if it was supposed to have a hole from the mantle to the foot area? no they replied,( it was still in their tank)

So what nonsense have you been subjected too?:cursin:

Juvenile coris wrasse stats small and is reef safe. And, this is the best....... Dead fish in the tank breakdown and benefit the corals. Yeah, I grabbed wifee and said we were leaving.

That's what $7.25 minimum wage will get you

Now that most people have smart phones this shouldn't happen anymore. Luis please try and keep your replies in 1 post, 5 consecutive post in the same thread is an eye strain.

"All of our water runs through this U.V. Sterilizer, so none of the fish can be sick."

"EcoTech? Haven't heard of them."

"All 3W LEDs are garbage that burn up coral in the brief period of time in which they work."

"Halide Bulbs don't need to be bright, if they turn on, they're as good as new."

"We get our Moorish Idols to eat all of the time! What do we feed them? Don't worry, if you buy one, we'll tell you!"

"A french and an imperator angel would be PERFECT tank mates."

"That's GSP, and it's worth maybe $500 right there."

"All controllable LEDs are in violation of Patent laws and their companies will be shut down."

"Never quarantine a fish unless you want to kill it. We made that mistake once."

"Moon Landing? Pfft!" (Kidding on this last one.)


Conclusion: LFS owners in snobby areas are, well, snobs!

[foxsavage]

All fish have ich and it only shows up if the water quality or nutrition is lacking. I overheard my LFS owner tell this to someone so I butted in to say that's complete bull and he got all mad.
