  1. Scammer in Hawaii & San Francisco - Aquatop USA/Aloha Fish

    Ahh yes, Aquatop, actually more like Aquabottom. A very, very questionable place indeed, a dirty poophole of a shop that is the usual "wholesale to the public" CL mentality (BTW, if I'm being charged sales tax how is that wholesale?). Never bought anything there myself, just glanced around got a...
  2. running a pet shop

    As Gresham said, it's good to have a plan, I wouldn't start any business without tweaking numbers like crazy. If you have limited space you may want to consider carrying livestock and equipment that emphasizes nano reefs, not only are they popular, they are a stepping stone for people that may...
  3. Recession and the Marine Industry

    I looked into the Scion, for me though as an exclusive service vehicle I needed something that can carry a 6' tank and stand, the Scion seemed to have more than enough pep to get the job done. Of course my last vehicle was a ' 91 Toyota p-up with over 200,000 mi, so anything is powerful compared...

    Your word is bond! Educate and start from the source, that's WTH puts food on their table, right? The best part is though, Wayne thinks Obama has a reef tank, that's funny!

    One way that I've found that works in collection is, since customers think we do it for fun and somehow money falls from the sky for us, is to not spend any money on their tanks. When asked why didn't you pick up frozen food, or do you think we can add a couple more corals? the response is...
  8. Recession and the Marine Industry

    I've had to tighten up a little AFA billing, but luckily with direct communication and sympathy I've had people cut back hours rather than get in above their heads [/fingers crossed]

    Don't know enough about the situation to chime in, but I have to say that you made a great point Gresh :D "He's not a watch wearer as goes for most professional aquarists. I know, you wear a watch" -Gresham That's some true stuff right there :lol:
  10. Hawaii Collection Bill

    Wow "oceanfish" you seem to have a tornado of misinformation of staggering proportions, you get emotional and blather yet you seem to not have a solid grasp on aquariology. To throw out numbers left and right that somehow back up you agenda and expect folks who post here that actually give a...
  11. Hawaii Collection Bill

    Wow, sit on your asses? That would mean that we would all emulate you..... You know what, get rid of your tanks and you become less of the "problem", oh yeah , that's right you're in Canada your tank has 100% sustainably harvested animals :lol:
