bump...make an offer on any of these and if it's not beaten you get the sale.

yeah all good points guys, although I'd think an lfs who can test water and interview customers might have an advantage there. $17 ocellaris $25 small copperbands $39 blue tang $44 flame angel I'm not seeing a big price difference, a small one perhaps... and honestly I'm not taking shipping/boxing charges into account and I haven't bought anything in ages either so maybe I'm off. If/when I ever purchase a fish again though, it will be locally most likely. Lots of people swear by mail order but I agree still like a shop where I can poke things with sticks.

I think the impact will trickle up if there is increasing demand for better quality product at the retail level. The bar has been set high by Liveaquaria, and it's up to everyone else to see if they can match it. If your customers demand the same guarantee to shop in your store, then store owners will be more careful about what product you buy and who you buy it from. And the wholesalers will need to do the same of course, but the demand to drive that reform will come from the consumers I think. Creating incentives like this for businesses to be more careful about the reef life they consume is a good thing overall I think. It's very rare to find a market/business force that works towards positive trade reform from the perspective of the reefs. Maybe it's a good thing that a market force is finally emerging that actually encourages more responsible consumption of reef life.

interesting...Race Foster is challenging the LFS industry to offer 14-day livestock guarantees. Definitely makes the LFS more careful about the stock they sell. This may help accellerate trade reform if it becomes popular. 1) Original Post on Liveaquaria.com forum of RC: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1221073 2)Post on Industry Forum where Race stirs the pot. I'm not really a fan of his verbal approach, and he seems a bit too excited about pissing off competitors on forums, but can't argue with the guarantee and his business model is obviously working for him. Liveaquaria.com has grown enourmously since it began. http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=111915&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 thoughts? Ask your LFS if they can match it. If I were an LFS I'd probably require a water test and pics of the system or a consult maybe for the 14-day guarantee.
