OceanRevive Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 just came back from OIAB today. As usual, the owner is super friendly and helpful on all questions. I picked up a few snails and a yellow eye tang. when I was thinking not to buy a brain coral, he said i would regret not buying it ([language filter], I wish I asked myself why he asked me about that:))). As I don't have too much time to take care of my tank recently, I said that is okay, I don't want to lose this beautiful piece due to lack of maintenance. It was surprised me that he told me everything is FREE to me when I checked them out!!! I came out his gorgeous store with questions full of my brain....To be honest, I don't visit his store very often due to its distance. What is going on there? any secret promotion? store anniversary? first Chinese customer? or just because I know his friend? i have no clue....

Toby Flenderson Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 That's really bizarre, he gave you the coral and fish for free? Were they perhaps being robbed and you were talking to the robber while coz was tied up behind the counter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRevive Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 I didn't buy that coral as it has a very rare color (light blue in red) and I don't have time to take care of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish and snails are free , i am not greedy:) It was my first time got gift from LFS. I will definitely visit Coz more to support him.

peligro Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 He's a pretty cool guy. He gets things for low prices like any other LFS, probably wanted a return customer. So make it good for the newbie. Great freebies Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Something is up. Cos doesn't do something like that unless he gets something in return. That's just the way he is. I would be a little leery of this myself. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmike Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok before everyone goes crazy.... I told cos to hook Bo up with whatever he wanted and I would take care of him with corals in return. I didn't tell Bo I did this so it was quite a surprise to him lol. Cos is a great guy though as just a quick txt message and he was willing to hook my friend up! Sorry for starting the rumor mill about the store closing or cos going crazy (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
