I thought I read that before on here, I guess the LFS guy either doesn't get real serpents, didn't want to sell me one or boy I'm stumped on why he would tell me that. The first time I met the guy, probably my inexperience skewed my views, he seemed really knowledgeable and seemed to care, reassuring me that if I listen to his advice, I couldn't fail. That was the same day he didn't suggest a dump instead of a canister, which on another occasion he told me you shouldn't use a canister when I was asking him about tuning in my coralife 65 that he also sold me. Maybe I should just consult with a different person when I go there. It is a really clean store, their forte is fish, not a dog and cat store with some fish in the back, their prices on livestock and dry goods tend to be on par with online retailers, and finally, the other LFS is yucky and overpriced. :frustrat:
