J&L Aquatics Liverock. Wanted Opinions on it

[VFX]

I got my LR from King Ed's & also from a fellow Canreefer's large sump setup.

All LR was fully cured & my cycle happened really quickly.

Everything was nicely full of life & the only uncertain thing being a purple crab. It looks like a mithrax crab so I'm leaving him be... for now!

King Ed's had a good selection & I took my time to hand pick some pieces.

They've got Fiji, Jakarta, Cuban mostly cured but have some partly cured & non cured.

I bugged them for a discount & paid $5/lb for Fiji

how much do you usually need to buy in order for King Ed's to cut you a discount?

ill be looking for roughly 50lbs for my display or possibly a bit more (can always chuck it in the sump)

I only bought 20lbs from King Ed's.

talk to the nice old guy that works in the saltwater section, mention your buying 30 lbs and see what he says, he'll probably offer you a dollar of per lb, then tell him you'd buy more if he offered you an even better price, that's how it worked for me and I bought almost 70 lbs....

Robert/Bob is the name of the friendly older dude in the sw section I think.

I spoke to Ron & said I only wanted to pay $4/lb and we settled on $5/lb.

I think it probably helps with bargaining if they know your face.
