Now this isn't something that happens all the time but it still happens and sometimes you get the feeling that they well could really care less. Now Paradise Cove is a great store. But they don't sell much for plants. If your into SW then your in good hands  but the staff is great. It's a mix of ppl that use to work at Aqua Pets and the old pet store that was in Bellevue. It would be nice if they got into some Planted Tank setups. |
The only ONE thing that I don't like about PC is that they are expensive. I have gotten some good deals there. I watch for sales, and I joined their club-thing, which gives me 10% off at the register. I also bring in fish from time-to-time, which gives me a little bit of store credit. I have gotten some really nice crypts from them a few months back. I have always gotten great customer service with a smile and have gotten good advice from them. I also got a few gorgeous pieces of Malaysian driftwood from them. And, yes, they need a mice planted tank, even if it's for display. What's with the cylinder style tank???? It's ugly! I'll have to talk to Jeff or Joe about that. lol

These local pet stores have to mark it up alittle to make a profit but I know all three of them would be happy to order what you need if you feel sketchy about ordering over the net.

I've made a special order with PC before, and it came in fast and on time. I made a special order once with Charlie's Angels, and it took them 6 WEEKS to get my order in, and in the mean time, nearly all the plants in my tank died, and I am just now getting my tank back in order. While I was waiting, I ordered the bulb from PC, and it came in 4 days after I ordered it.
