The Reefs Inc., please read

I'm a regular customer at the Reefs Inc. on 22 west in greenbrook. Though a little more pricey, nobody can match their quality. I was talking with the owner today and she said someone has been spreading a vicious rumor saying, "The Reefs is closing down, theres a padlock on the door." She said her business has gone down, while it would normally go up during this time of the year. Well, I just wanted to let everyone know in case you heard wrong. I would hate to lose that place.

I just have to ask... Do you work there?

 

[mkp523]

Think i was lying? No I dont, I just chat with the owner for about a half hour every week. She knows I'm at the forums a lot so she asked for a favor.

 

[Brian]

I never said you were lying about anything.
I asked if you worked there. I was honestly curious that's all.
Saying "vicious rumors" just seemed a bit harsh. People are just saying
that she is never open when they go there. I find it hard to believe that people are making it up.

So Mark,

Will you let her know our concerns? I've wasted $10 in gas going there to find her closed.

 

[mkp523]

I'll let her know all of your concerns. I always go early-mid afternoon and they have always been open. Everything I get from there is healthy and grows fast. Havn't had any casualties. Can't say that about ocean gallery, I don't buy livestock from there anymore. Paying a couple bucks more has proven to be well worth it in my experience. Havn't tried Pet Shanty yet, are they any good? Though its a bit far for me.

The Pet Shanty is a pretty decent place. Thier live rock is nice, and they have some nice fish as well. I may have bought 1 or 2 pieces of coral there, but that's about it...thier corals aren't the best and the price is a bit high for them.

They have a lot of nice freshwater fish though...not that I ever look at them
