Come on, people!

Learn about the corals you are selling or trading!! If you plan to make $$$$ from your hobby, you have a responsibility to be informed about your livestock. Don't keep corals too close together. Don't balance corals on rocks or flimsy frag racks above your favorite giant acan echinata colony. And DON'T cut frags of sensitive, notoriously receding corals so small that they have almost no chance of survival - if I have to measure the frag in millimeters, it's too small!!

End of rant. :bigsmile:

i agree 100% this should be common sense, but i guess if it was common everyone would have it right? lol

Oh, and if you are going to claim lineage, at least take the 10 minutes out of your day to PM people and confirm it's correct :crossedlips:

 

[Azurel]

Take it you got burned?...I agree with said posts.

 

[amore169]

Reading that that was my exact thinking, spill the beans Peter what happened?

 

[wicked demon]

Ya man, TESTIFY!!!

And one more thing... if you don't have the funds to refund money, or the stock to replace something with, then you are NOT a business! You're a person.... with a tank.... in the garage. Nothing more. Learn how to keep corals before you go trying to brand yourself!

OK, seriously, now end of rant :sure:

Some people just lack common sense ...

 

[Pellaeon]

Sure cant argue with those points.

 

[FaviaFreak]

I've found common sense ain't so common!

 

[mike_dani]

Common sense is no more than loose change on a table

 

[SDguy]

I don't know that it is just common sense. IMO, It's experience; it's knowledge; and it's a business ethic (regardless of whether we're talking about a hobbyist or a vendor). If you don't have these things, you shouldn't be making dealings which require them.

Please tell. I just caught the Chalice bug and placed my first order a few days ago. It would be nice to know who to avoid ordering from.

 

[JNye]

did you discuss how a refund/replacement would be handled before you paid? i usually do... +1 on the tiny frags, i hate those, but if people keep buying them...then

You can see vendor feedback in the vendor feedback forum.

Personally I only purchase from reputible vendors (or reefers) who have done business with people that I highly trust in this hobby. I purchase from a select few business and don't stray.
