Lol we love to criticize and complain lol
I have been to Max Reefs a million times, yes, for the past few months the pricing on tanks has not been accurate but who cares at the prices they sell at.
It happened to me, price said $20, was told it was $28, internally I was like "damn it" but still at $28 it was $35 dollars cheaper than anywhere else.
Every time I go I have to wait for service bc most people don't buy just one thing. I wait and bammm they take care of me.
News flash, every single pet store goes through ich, velvet, etc.
I have been to very expensive stores and have seen sick fish and dead fish.
Fish stores do inspections or rounds to remove dead and ill fish but sometimes they miss or don't get to it.
Stop complaining, learn how to shop, accept that QT is the best thing to do and appreciate their pricing.
The Max Reefs tanks have been prestine for many many many months. With the quantity of fish they move occasionally they will have a sick one.
We complain like there is a perfect store when most of us don't realize that it happens at every single store, every single store!!!!!!!
Some stores, very few but I have seen them are very poorly maintained but max reefs is not one of them.
If you don't like max reefs you are free to go any where else and pay 200% more, sometimes over 300% but god stop complaining and go pay $70 for your flame and $90 for your blonde and $250 for your emperor and $35 for your cleaner shrimp
