I would like to defend Rainbow for once, and its my own experience. While I agree most of their stuff is overpriced, I did however, bot my cabinet for my 2.5 ft tank from them at only $270. Custom made. I went many places and couldnt find it cheaper. 1 particular shop even quoted me $400! :o

So they do have their good points!

I've spoke with the auntie b4 and she's so proud to say that she have been in marine for 20 years..... live stock wise, i recommend that you should know the market price b4 going there... after all in the west, there's only marine life and this shop... can buy their seachem pdrts also, coz the auntie dun even know what she's selling~!!! hahaha... :lol::lol:

Well, other than Hong Leong, I've never been to an LFS that gives good service and advice. <_< I just blacklisted SeaLife yesterday due to their crappy story about how their coral sand is more expensive cos its cleaner.

But I must admit, their livestock is quite good.

LCK that fat, almost bald guy? Yahyah!!! He's loud and rude and very insulting when you ask questions! :angry: The skinny old man and the young guy are total opposites. Very nice and patient. I actually stayed there for a good 45 mins chatting with the young guy... and the skinny old man joins in from time to time...

Sam's kid? The "######" girl? She's friendly... she so funny... she laughs and tells the other uncle she's so embarassed when I asked a question she could not answer... :D

Actually, thinking about it, Rainbow has some things that are ok priced. Their test kits are quite ok.

Not unless you got their discount card. Even then it is still much expensive after discount.

yazid: i dont have discount card at rainbow... :)

i tot they were ex too...so I had a nice surprise when they quoted me a good price. And I must say the cabinet is up to standard...

U may be surprised, but they do give good service. My air pump which I bot from them was faulty after a week, and I brought it back to them and asked for a replacement. They didnt have any stock then, so they gave me my money back. IMO, they are not the worst of the lot :fear:
