Flower, I guess you're misinterpreting everything I am saying today. lol.
I don't believe a LFS would purposely give bad advice to kill their customers fish. A LFS needs repeat customers, and if all their customers constantly have dead fish and coral, then they give up, move on, or find a different LFS. I think though, ultimately, it's up to the aquarist to make the most educated decision for the health of their tank. LFS wouldn't be in business if they A: didn't make money and B: didn't give half decent advice.
Lets just agree to disagree, yes?

True enough, I think we are really on the same page. I just remember walking into a fish store and saying...I want to set up a saltwater tank..What do I need? Yep just like walking into a car lot and saying I want a car...So I'm speaking from experiance.
So that's the reason I tell folks to don't go in and ask what you need....go in and inform the LFS what you are looking for...Know what you want. I don't think LFS give bad advice, but they do give you expensive advice, so they can sell you the hottest new gizmo.

Rainbow,
Please stop saying do not listen to the LFS. It gives reputable dealers bad raps. Live fish stores have to make money or else they aren't going to stay in business, but it is their business to get their clients tanks up and running properly and maintained correctly so that they will be repeat customers. Not a single person knows it all, and therefore every aquarist should get as wide of a variety of opinions as possible about the creatures that we care for and the equipment we use to take care of them. So, please, stop saying that LFS are all about money, when they truly aren't.
Snake in my defense that is the first time i have said do not listen to the LFS.
