wow i got kicked out of my lfs today. i was looking around i do this 1-2 times a week i usally buy something or other but i like to keep on the lookout for something special ya know i was about to get some snails and the kid who was helping was called over by a customer with a question about a light for sale a coralife 4x65pc for 349.99 i didn't say anything i know they need to make there money too and if someones dumb enough to buy with out looking into it its there folly. when the other customer asked that he could keep any coral with this light and the kid says sure...then leads him over to a tank of sps/lps coral under t-5 and mh lights and said u can buy any of them with this light. well when he started picking out coral to take home i had to mention that he should look into it and read up online i told him to check out saltwaterfish.com before he did any thing well he said thanks and left the kid went upstairs and the manager came down and asked me to leave i asked if i could but the snails she told me to find somewhere else to shop. so to make a long story short ill have to start buying online im kida worried never done this before..is it as easy as it seems? any thing i should know before i place my first order?

thanx oh well i guess the funny part is i know that lfs have to mark up and over the years i've still bought a lot of stuff from them i avoid petsnotsosmart and deathCo at all cost. i guess my money will be spent at swf.com

That is why i love my lfs i all most work at it, i have had the manager ask me to help customers if thay are backed up.Yes and thay will and have not sold a fish and corals to some one that cannot take cair of it.As for swf.com pick out what you need and buy it that is about it... they will stand behind what you buy...

well im glad i found swf.com when i mention i have a saltwater tank most people just say ugh and have tons of horror stories about the whole process cost and failures and how hard it is. without swf i would have quit along time ago. if u have a good lfs then your pretty lucky in my book.

i'd go back there and confront the owner tellng him that his/her employee was steering a new customer down teh wrong path.
