  4. How Is Business In Your Area?

    Seems normal, people likes to fix up the tank a bit for holiday guess then focus on gift shopping instead of hobby shopping after thanks giving. You'll probably get some last minuets desperate shoppers in a few weeks. Christmas was never a huge season for us; it generally picks up a few weeks...
  5. Dealing with being undercut

    Generally fish are a lost leader, if he’s under cutting he’s going to take a lost in the long run. Unless it’s a preorder out of the bag deal then tell your customer the cons of buying from such a seller or match their prices with the same policy. Pre order pickup same day… that way you don’t...

  12. Broken package

    Is this your first Acro shipment? I've never had a problem with newspaper ink. If its only 12 pieces you likely ordered through a transship company so I could just notify them.
  13. Ice Cap suspends operations.

    From my perspective IC has been dyeing well before the turn of the economy by failing to trend toward new technology. I don’t recall but do they have a presence on the horticulture side?
  14. If you had $500 to spend on lighting...

    4 bulbs Sunlight Supply Tek HOT5 with good quality bulbs would run you under $500 if you want something out of the box. But I would personally spend the money on a DIY LED light kit.
