SRC Member aquagem Posted May 4, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2018 My flame hawk is from them.. And its very fat and healthy .. Had the lil guy for a few months alrdy. Happiest purchase ever.. And staff are very friendly. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app No doubt, it was because it's a flame hawk they are generally hardy. I'm sure any LFS will provide their upmost presentable best CS prior to purchase. But the question is will any premium justify to these? I've purchased a couple of livestocks from Specialised Aquatic Solutions in different times. The second purchase, being the similar fish and size with the first purchased, I was quoted a hefty 25% increase in fish. I wonder why? Perhaps a spur of moment where I wanted the fish . Bearing in mind they are in excess of the hundreds for the particular fish. Ultimately it's my choice though clearly their business model that fishes prices ain't as fixed as it seems to be. (May even be the case for blue tangs) These are just my experiences and choice. As for equipments and after sales, I'll wait for others to chime in, if any Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else is selling it at 400? That's if you're kind enough to share If you're willingly to spend on livestocks, any LFS will give you their upmost best CS , especially when one is paying a premium. just choose them wisely and buy what's you're comfortable with. Wonder how about after sales for equipments? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The trade is changing due to possible rising cost in everything. While the lfses are struggling to survive, we reefers are adapting to the new changes. Every shop has their own business strategy, so reefers have to wise to make their choices in purchasing unless vitamin M is unlimited. Hence, give your supports to those reasonable priced lfses as they are adopting fast turnover VS higher margin per sale. However, this can only go on with another few more years. 1 Tank : 4 X 2 X 2 with low iron front panel and external overflow Skimmer : BK SM200 with waste collector Return Pumps : Red Dragon 6m3 and Ehiem 1262 FR : 2 X Deltec 509 & powered by AB2000 Nitrate Filter : Deltec NF 509 and tee off from AB2000 Calcium R'tor : Deltec PF 501 with RM secondary chamber Kalkwasser R'tor : Deltec KM500 Chiller : Pansonic 1 HP Compressor with 20m titanium Coil Wave Makers : 4 X Tunze 6055 with 7096 & Vortec MP40w Controller : GHL Profilux Lighting : ATI Powermodule 10 or 8 tubes Water Top-up : Water Top-Up tank powered by Tunze Osmolator External Monitor : American Pinpoint pH and Temp.

Solo77 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The lfs has to justify their strategy. Still remember there was a lfs selling good stuff and premium price. When ppl feedback, they will reply can export. A mistake will just make the shop history. Anyway, willing buyer and seller.

Solo77 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Their setup is very nice and staff are friendly. If I were to pay premium, I will go to them. Lol. Farm will slowly disappear and reefers may need to choose to go lfs that is like one stop centre. Meanwhile, the trade is evolving and unless reefers move ard to understand price, one is likely to go one lfs and buy from them. Just enjoy when the farms still ard. This hobby is likely to be mean for certain class of ppl and no longer affordable for some. With carbon tax coming, one has to think for this hobby.

SRC Member Patrick Posted May 4, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2018 That's an understatement. Are you suggesting that the other LFS livestocks which serve the community are with a lower quality? hence the inflated prices? Truth to be said, perform your own due diligence in conditioning your livestocks.. bearing in mind, all livestocks are perishable... on another note anyone care to share their customer service or after care experiences it's nice to hear some feedback!

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted May 8, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted May 8, 2018 I’m a newbie, just chip in abit about SA. I bought 2 fishes from them. No doubt some of their fishes are priced more, I bought willingly, knowing they have been there for a few weeks and eating pellets. Too me it’s like sort of a quarantine in their tank(of course nothing is guaranteed, QT is best is we have an extra tank) Maybe it’s for convenience sake, maybe for the service. As mentioned, everyone has their business model. While price is an determinant for hardware, it may not be the same for livestock. Im not related to them in anyway. Just my 2 cents. Please don’t bash me. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
