  2. IS reefs.org aiding the sale of cyanide caught fish?

    spawner, Thanks for the answers. I am now going to reach them more and see what they say. I did look at the site and beleive that it impossible to have all net caught fish. I also think that it may be hard for the board to tell them to take their banner and go, for legal reason. Right now word...
  3. IS reefs.org aiding the sale of cyanide caught fish?

    spawner While I agree with your . I have some questions for you. 1. What proof do you have that they are selling cyanide caught? 2. Do you think that it is impossible to have all net caught fish? 3. How do you know that they are buying from the wholesaler you claim? Now I have not had any...
  4. IS reefs.org aiding the sale of cyanide caught fish?

    Retailer stop lying. Now I agree that this happens often. It may not be all the retailer. If I place a order to a wholersaler tell them that I will only buy net caught. They reply that they can handle that order so I buy them. How can I tell if it true? Most retailer will trust the wholesaler...
  5. Cyanide, the Philippines, Reviving a Proposal and JMHE:

    dizzy, I do not belive that I have questioned Peters integrity. I only question how he may handle Horge's concerns depending on what he does. As far as your statment of NO NAME COWARDS. That is a bunch of crap. You can put any name you want at the end of a post. That does not mean that is the...
  6. Cyanide, the Philippines, Reviving a Proposal and JMHE:

    Peter, That fact that someone does not what to use the their name IMO has nothing to do with their concerns or who they work for. If Horge is a hobbyist, exporter or middleman should make no differance on how his concerns are addressed IMO. There can be many reason why some does not use their...

    horge, I am turely sorry that you feel this way. As I have been lurking for years your insite has help me many time. As I cannot disagree with your reason for wanting to leave.

  9. Retail operating cost's?

    The answers you are looking for are hard to answer. Most of them you can figure out. ie How much salt? How many gallon of SW are you going to have? How often and how large of a water change are you going to do? Answer this and you can figure out how much salt you need then add some for...
  10. Problems finding new wholesaler

    Mary, While do agree with it is your business as you want. You ask how can you tell who is legit and who is not. That is up to the State that gave out the business license not you. I do agree that some hobbyists will go through the hassle to get a license, I don't see them as being a big...
  11. Problems finding new wholesaler

    Maybe where you are from you can go to the courthouse but not here. Here there is 1 wholesaler that handles SW and my reef is better stocked than his outlet. If the hobbyist down the street has met their states requirement for a resale license then I have no problem with him buying from the...
  12. Problems finding new wholesaler

    As odd as it sounds I think that it is good to have the MaryHM point of veiw. While I disagree with her she has the right to run her business her way. I beleive that she did not know that *** was home based. What I disagree with is the fact that her policy hurts me and my customer. What I would...
  13. Problems finding new wholesaler

    If a wholesaler cherry picking then who ever buys its does not matter. A no pick rule that is great. Your not knowing of any garege based businesses may be where you live. Here there is 1 store that carrys SW in 25 miles they have about 200 gallons of water there and no one that knows anything...

I have to follow the same state registrations, licenses. 3. I pay SALES TAX 4. I have alot of the same legal...
