Upscales has some nice stuff again!
As usual, nice stuff and good prices at Upscales. They've been gettin in some amazing acros lately.
AND, let me just say that although I DO have access to wholesale fish through my side venture, I still go out of my way and buy fish for my tank at retail from Upscales because they always seem to have the healthiest specimens.
I know they may not have the bedside manner of a pediatric physician, but as a low-maintenance consumer, I'm more interested in the livestock and the prices than anything else...just IMHO

I won't set foot in Upscales anymore.  Bought some chromis when I first started up the reef and didn't notice till I put them in the tank that one of them had some type of "rot" and I was going on vacation the next day - lost all the fish. They don't care what shape it's in, just sell it to make a $.

Thanks for the heads up -- I have noticed that they have had some nice corals lately.
AND, let me just say that although I DO have access to wholesale fish through my side venture, I still go out of my way and buy fish for my tank at retail from Upscales because they always seem to have the healthiest specimens.
They may have a good supplier but they have more dead fish in their tanks than any LFS in town - on par with Petco. 4 weeks in a row they had dead fish in their tanks - too busy reading magazines up front vs paying attention to their tanks.

I know what ya mean Kevin1000. I was there a little while back looking to spend a couple hundred dollars on corals and I could not get anyone to help me. I tried for about 45 minutes and finnaly got so frustrated that I left. Whoever was working that day was having a personal phone conversation and wouldnt even look my way when I tried to get his attention. Actually, he gave me so much attitude like I was burdening him by trying to make him do his job that it was ridiculous. Never again will I step foot in Upscales.
