I finally had a chance to visit today. Very nice, very clean (both shop and tanks!). Quite a large selection of both coral and fish. Thanks for showing me around and thanks for the coral :)

I forgot to drop off some Reef Frontiers cards for you in case you wanted to hand them out to your customers. Let me know if you would like some and I can get some to you.

Thanks guys for the comps. It was great to see you make it in Chuck. BTW we would like to have RF cards to put on the counter.

Great store

I agree, I also stopped there yesterday. Very nice store, even my husband, a somewhat reluctant captive in this hobby, commented on how nice it was to go to a LFS that did not have dying fish in many tanks.

The only complaint I would have is that when I left all the cash in my pocket was left in their cash register :lol: But I guess that is what you get when you ask somebody with the handle of skimmerwhisperer what he would suggest for a new skimmer for your tank. Thanks Mark for all the time you spent with my husband and I to help us choose a skimmer, I cannot wait to get it hooked up.
 
Two Thumbs up for Barrier Reef!

I just wanted to offer my 2 cents here as well...we were in the store a little over a week ago, on a Sunday, and we also spent way too much but we happy to give Barrier Reef our business.

The day before we actually did a huge circuit of stores in Western WA...it was a long day with nothing to show for it in the end. We hit four stores covering at least 150 miles and either saw crappy tanks filled with death and doom or met with poor customer service (or even worse silly prices on top of that).

The next day we found out about Barrier Reef purely by chance and only wished we have known a day earlier so we could have avoided all that driving.

The store was filled with brightly colored tanks that all looked healthy and their prices were very reasonable on what we bought. They spent a healthy amount of time with us, answered every one of our questions, even gave us 10% off for spending too much :))).

We've decided that we would prefer to give our business to them and only one other store on this side of WA...all they rest really left a bad impression on us.

Good luck to these guys...if they can maintain the level of experience (personal, store condition, etc.) we had on our first visit luck won't be necessary!!!
 
wowee, wowee thanks again for all the kind words.......i think we are well on our way to our goal of providing you all with the best stuff around(fishes, corals, etc., etc.) for as reasonable a price as we can. please, please keep the comments comin' even if there might be a bad one here and there('sides thats the only way we know what we're doin' wrong). dont forget we are always happy to do special orders for livestock or products.

p.s: also the more you guys spend the more we can bring in.......:D

That is a perfect description of most stores in wa I have encountered. Either crap melting away in a tank or if you do happen to find a store with good specimens the prices are so ridiculous it is insulting.

I stopped going to other stores after I found barrier reef.:)
