Curious about this. I wanna get a thread going talking about some of the worst advice you've gotten from an LFS
I have roughly 4 stores within an hour drive.
some are better than others but they all offer something different. The one closest to me is also the oldest standing. Great for quarantined fish, dry goods, and moderately sized aqueon and marine land tanks. The owner is an old head stuck in his ways. He doesn't say much but you can tell he's seen some sh**. his employees are goofy
I went in this week for some salt. As most of us do, I try pick the employees brains.
I bought some Red Sea blue bucket.
once I got to the register I said to the employee, "yeah I'm switching to this from instant ocean. Instant ocean mixes too high for where my alk likes to holds. Right now I'm running it at 9. And worst case scenario if I get a spike I can water change it out with this."
he goes "yeah Red Sea has two salts. The pro is made to be used with RO water cause it has all the extra stuff. This one is for tap"
I just said ok and walked out.
