Just buy the rock from wherever you want and let the vendors do what they want. It's the same as buying anything, if you don't like a product, don't buy it. Simple.

How annoying what people bitch about on here and I wonder why I go on and off Canreef. I get especially annoyed when someone thinks they know best about everything. *rolling my eyes* Poor vendors. You can't paint every store with the same brush. Perhaps you should take a drive to some stores in Edmonton and Calgary. Otherwise thats just not right to say that. As said already...If you don't like the product, dont buy it. Simple.

What I find really amusing is how someone will complain about a vendors live rock but then later state they buy used rock and wouldn't buy new rock anyway because it's too expensive. Now that's funny.

Have to agree with the recent turn this thread took, what vendors do will always vary and in the end who cares! If you have to cure some stuff a little longer, so what, and I really have a hard time understanding preserving everything on the rock, most of this would be problematic anyway. Wipe it out and start over but to each his/her own which is why no vendor will ever be able to satisfy the believes of every customer. So quit complaining!

I can't believe Myka that your local vendors are not doing exactly what you want to get the business that you cannot find second hand somewhere for a better price. I think they are missing a major revenue stream from this "can't find elsewhere cheaper" business!!!!

Why are you guys all getting so caught up and peed off by this thread?? I don't understand why it's a big deal...?? Maybe I should have worded it differently. Sorry I thought you guys could be my bitching coffee buddies. I guess I will have to keep it to my bitching coffee buddies. Seriously though, you guys are way too serious.

everyone take a deep breath and take a step back.

It's rock.

Unless you're lucky (or unlucky depending on hitchhikers) enough to get some TBS rock into the country the live rock is all pretty dead. You want the bacteria basically. All the rock you buy live is going to have that. The rest has already had plenty die even if it's house a bit better than the next LFS.
