I agree that it is a great thing that ***** did and it does show some integrity because I have NEVER heard an LFS do such a thing. Some LFS here have no guarantee at all, meaning you walk out the front door and the fish dies, sorry...ha ha.
So the question(s) of the hour is/are:
1) will you go back to ***** to blow the $800 on fish :scared: (please say no)
2) will you be reading the book Beth mentioned and asking more questions on fish before buying them?

We are actually all here to help, even when you don't like what we say
But the expertise here is
(and we are freeeeee)

this can be said of most big box stores though. and i don't want to start a new conversation, but if you go to *****, homedepot, lowes, etc, you shouldn't expect the highest amount of quality help. if you get it, you can be pleasantly surprised, but just don't expect it.
ask the experts (or those that think they are :) and second guess anything that seems wrong. you, your fish, and your wallet will be happier in the long run.

ophie.... all my lfs have the money back if the fish dies. i guess some lfs are just smaller than others. i just don't buy from ***** because they never have what i want
. and my lfs are jam packed with corals and rare fishes that i just have to have. Im spoiled...... i think SD is a really good place to have a salt water tank.

Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake
Recipe By :Cheesecake Factory
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecake
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

[hr]

[hr]

[hr]
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons butter -- melted
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
24 ounces cream cheese -- softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
whipped cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the crust by combining the graham
cracker crumbs with the melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl.
Stir well enough to coat all of the crumbs with the butter, but not so much as
to turn the mixture into paste. Keep it crumbly. Press the crumbs onto the
bottom and about two-thirds of the way up the sides of a springform pan. You
don't want the crust to form all of the way up the back of each slice of
cheesecake. Bake the crust for 5 minutes, then set it aside until you are ready
to fill it. In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and
vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the pumpkin, eggs,
cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice and continue to beat until smooth and creamy.
Pour the filling into the pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The top will turn a
bit darker at this point. Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool.
When the cheesecake has come to room temperature, put it into the refrigerator.
When the cheesecake has chilled, remove the pan sides and cut the cake into 8
equal pieces. Use dental floss to make a clean cut. Serve with a generous
portion of whipped cream on top.
