This thread explains why he gave me a very strange look when I went into the shop and said, "I have heard some good things about you on the forums."
I guess my memory was doing its normal mash up of things I had read. I thought I had read it was a good place.
My opinion based on that day was that he did not have a whole lot of livestock on hand, but that he was willing to answer questions and bust his tail for me as a customer. I bought a 90 gallon tank from him, and he was busting his rear to tear down and move two tanks that day already. He added me to the list, and got my tank emptied and ready to go in about two hours.
I do not have enough experience to comment on anything else, but he was all about customer service that day. So just my two bits, and we all know you can not even buy a coffee with that anymore.
