Roger sold me a Anemone and two clownfish. They were from the same tank. He told me the lighting on mytank was sufficent for the Anemone. I also wasnt acclimating the fish correctly. He told me all I had to do was drift the bags in the water for half an hour and then put the fish in. So I did. I asked a few people in the forum what kind of Anemone I have. I got many answers and was told that I dont have nearly enough lighting for him. I go back to Roger and he isnt in all day and one of his employes sell me a 50/50 20 watt bulb. Still not enough lighting. One of the clownfish dies and I call the store to see if I can return the Anemone. Roger still wasnt there so the guy at the store says just to bring the Anemone in and he will give me store credit. I get a cleaner shrimp and a mandarin goby. I go in the next day to get the rest of my store credit and some brine shrimp for my mandarin because that is what he has been eating. Roger goes crazy when he sees the store credit and wants to know why I returned the Anemone. I told him about the lighting and he literally started yelling at me and telling me I shouldnt be taking advace from a bunch of idiots who have no idea what they are talking about , when it was he who told me to do research in the first place. He was still yelling when I left and gave me the rest of my credit in cash. He said "I dont think you will be buying anything from here again." He is the only one in the store who really know a little about SW tanks, but he was hardly there. I am a nice person and he turned my day to s**t and I just wanted to give up on my SW tank. It sucked basicly.
I will email you about the life rock when I get paid.

Yeah , I have been keeping a close eye on him and he has been eating brine and some worms that I fed him. I know that Roger had that Mandarin for two weeks and was feeding it brine and worms with like two smaller peices of LR. I guess that is what he was use to when he got in the tank.

I could prob. tell u why a clown was dead. That guy right there probably killed him. If no visable bite marks, then probably stressed him to death. Typically, clowns will do fine without real acclimation periods. They are extremely hardy creatures, and someone who has a clown just drop dead from bad water must have REALLY bad water. I have had some SERIOUS water problems in the past that I didnt know about, but my clowns pulled through wonderfully. As for that psycho dude, skrew him. If he wants to be a jerk, then fine. If he doesnt know that anemnes need a lot of light, then fine. Dont spend yer money at his place. Go somewhere else where they wont yell and spit at you for seeking help...

The mandarin wasnt there when the dead clownfish was , but ya know I went to Pet Kingdom I saw 2 other clownfish dead and floating. Maybe it was his water that killed him. The one that died was smaller and the one that lived is bigger. Who knows. I belive my water is fine, just that I need a lil more live rock. We will see what happens.
Thanx!

Hey dj and sandman I live in Sarasota and I have called and talked to Roger before. He really doesn't seem to informed if you ask me.... Have you guys ever tried Seascape in Sarasota. They usually have pretty good fish and corals. If you know that you want certain things they usaually. will try to get it in for you. They have been around for a long time and know alot about swf.
