so i went to a lfs the other day and bought a 6-nano for $100. got home and looked and it wasn't the same tank that the owner sold me on, so i went back to exchange it for the display. to make a long story short, got home and figured out that the display is actually a 12-gal nano. so here's the question, should i say something to the owner about it and offer him some more money for the deal, or is it their bad and they should know thier inventory better? any advice?

well, if they were trying to sell you the 12 gal. to begin with you should bring it back and tell them they gave you the wrong tank.

I'm all for being very honest about anything... when I was at my LFS getting live rock once and saw on the computer register a product name that didn't really look right, I mentioned it. Of course, the product that was on there was a $2 container of fish food, which is a lot less than the $80 worth of rock that should have been there, and although knowing I would have saved some $78 if I had kept my mouth shut, I definitely feel more zen about it all. The fact that you're actually asking about it means you have it weighing on your conscience. That being said, you're already home with it so it's really up to you what you do at this point. You could always mention it next time you're there if you want, but they sold it to you at that price without being more diligent about their sales.

well, apparently I cant read.
Honestly, I wouldnt bother saying anything.
But I'm going to Hell anyways, so it doesnt matter.

Are you sure you actually did get the wrong tank? My LFS has the 12g nano for $100 on a special offered by Oceanic right now. So maybe the 6g was the mistake and you got the right one after all.....

humm. i never thought of that. he said that he got them at a "close-out" price. so i don't know. but i'm sure that he thought that both tanks were the same.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
You know the right thing to do.

it's over. i went there yesterday and told the owner that i got a 12 for a 6. he was glad that i told him so he didn't keep sending the 6-gal back, that and he said that i ended up with a good deal. so, no harm no foul. thanks for the advice everyone.
