Frustration of buying equipments locally

[chrisyew]

Wonder if you guys/gals ever experience the frustration of buying equipments and be told that "No stock" and don't know when have stocks. These usually for smaller tank size like 2ft; not so sure same for 3ft and 4ft though.

Even things like skimmers, light tubes, light set are also the same. Believe such things are commonly used by new reefers and also hobbyists who wish to upgrade or change. Also it seems that the lfs may not be replenishing the stock so soon.

I'm not talking about slow moving items and unknown brand. I really hope that our lfs can have more stocks and replenish more frequently.

Share your thoughts and experience on these but no flaming pls.

Think in marine LFS we will see more of such problems??? Cause light sets and all this not everyday got pple will buy.. sp bring in less. And most of the equipments are from overseas(not our neighbouring countries) lo. Need to wait for shipments. Esp. marine stuff.

Anyway hi chris, i'm a member of sgguppies club. Heard of your big name but never seen u before. Glad that u are into marine too..
