I ordered my frozen food from Marine Depot. Their shipping price was better than most of the others and the food always arrived frozen rock solid.

One thing about the consolidation that does bother me is them stating that they're consolidating operations at their MN headquarters; I read that as a lot of people at Marine Depot's operations in CA are going to be losing their jobs. While you always lose some staff with a merger, you almost always keep some too. I would've preferred that they kept the CA operations and warehouse alive; not only would it keep people employed, it would give them multiple places to ship from - less distance to ship to reach most of the west coast which could help them on shipping costs... or what about wintertime when a massive snowstorm hits MN and shipping out of there is ground to a near halt? Having multiple warehouses can help alleviate some of that kind of pain. Also can mean lower shipping times, and being able to ship live goods like chaeto, pods, and coralline from whichever warehouse is closest to the customer.
Didn't realize they also had an east coast operation - in which case, I'd have preferred both were kept alive. The wording about consolidating operations, though, leaves me less than hopeful about thatThis is the biggest loss of the merger IMO. MD had West Coast (CA) and East Coast (GA) warehouses. Living in FL shipping times from MD were always more favorable than BRS. Hopefully, they will keep some of the infrastructure.
I think I noticed that as well. I used to always shop MD and then BRS the past few years. I noticed a few items I searched for MD didn't have and BRS did.I find this thread interesting. I haven't been able to buy anything useful from Marine depot in a long time. I always looked out of habit. At one time most everything I bought came from there and then they just seemed to never have anything I was looking for anymore so I moved on.
I got the email so I must still be in their system.
Do you use rox carbon? BrS has me on the hook for their rox ever since that brs investigates video. They test a few different carbonsI admit, I rarely find what I want on BRS. Things here and there, but they never seem to carry what I want. It is usally obscure admittedly. I used Aquacave, Premium Aquatics (although not often recently) and just started using Saltwater Aquarium.com. They have done great for me and had things I wanted.
Businesses get bought out all the time. Usually not great for consumer for a while, but does usually get better in a few years. Not always though. Job loss just stinks though.
Saltwateraquarium.comI agree man, this feels like monopoly
That’s one of my concerns. I have a buddy that works for MD.One thing about the consolidation that does bother me is them stating that they're consolidating operations at their MN headquarters; I read that as a lot of people at Marine Depot's operations in CA are going to be losing their jobs.
You should get into politics, you've got the wordsmithing for itBRS wasn't bought out. They got an investment from a private investment firm.
I do use their carbon, but have used the new hydrocarbon and it seems good too. One of the few items I have to get there is carbon.Do you use rox carbon? BrS has me on the hook for their rox ever since that brs investigates video. They test a few different carbons
