:sfish: I think we can all expect services from people supplying products from reefs to only get worse from here on in. They will definitely not get better. We have definitely run out of other nations precious resources to exploit. Every where our plundering buyers go to set up business our preservationists and environmentalists follow and set about their business. We have surprisingly been able to plunder Fiji's reefs as long as what we have. :bounce:
:bounce: Marco Rocks is probably a one or two man operation. I imagine he probably wants to crawl in a hole about now. It is doubtful he has had to deal with this in such a fashion before or he would not have tapped the accounts. I know several Aquarium trade people and they google their company name any time this type of thing happens, or any time business is slow or surprisingly heavy, just to see what if anything is being said about their businesses on the different aquarium forums. I imagine Marco Rocks is being flamed on more forums right now than just this one. :^:
:bounce: I would venture to guess, his average demand with no supply. :^:
I agree he is probably a one man operation and that there are marketing problems, but that the problems stem from a lack of guaranteed availability of supplies. Between pressures to cease harvesting rock and the ever increasing demand for live rock rock from so many old and new buyers the availability of his rock, which is live rock that did not get purchased and has since dried out, is only going to get worse.
