Ok fellas hears wat went on:
Last week saturday i went by them to purchase a siphone hose & the whole system. It was a resun brand, the one with the lil lock off tap at the tip of the hose. i paid $80 for it. I bought it went home & wanted to do my normal water change but that weekend i got tied up so it placed it in my cabinet where i does put everything pertaining to my fishes like food etc.
Keep in mind its still in package & i didnt open it eh.
It so happened that i didnt get the time that weekedn to do any water change (bad on my behalf, usually dont do this). Low & behold this saturday now i decided to finally open it up & use it for my tank wasnt looking too good & needed alil water change, & as i opened the package & go to place it inot the tank & aout to siphone the water.........................
the entire tip of the plastic cylinder tube broke. I thinkin it jus needs to be re-connected but when i looked properly i see like there's something sticky & the plastic is literally broke. (if allyuh know how super glue does look after it was used & then gave up on the bond & gives the kinda dry old look) I smelt it & it smelt kinda old & you know how plastic does smell.
& mind you i aint even take out any water as yet eh!
I got so pissed thinkin to myself wat kinda cheap sheit is this! & decided to throw on some clothes & didnt even bathe & jumped in my car & headedd straight for chais as i live 5 mins drive from em.

I know the last time i had equipment porblems or deffectiveness...Chris the Austraillian guy upstairs (he's really cool) think he's Donna's husband...
he always helps me for i remember a time i bought a JEBO508 & the motor was noisy & the blade was kinda twisted 7 was deffective & he replaced like normal & aplogized & i was ok with that.
Now this time Chris wasnt there & Donna was in the shop & i went & told her the porblem & wat not & asked for a exchage or refund or something so....
Then then turned to me & said "this looks like it fell down & break & EPOXI COULD FIX IT"""
I was WTF?????
I really wasnt satisfied with that answer of course!
She said she would give me another one for half price (which means i can pay $120 for a $80 item)
I reall was disappionted & told her i dont even want to purchase one like it because i am already discouraged of its deffectiveness.
I knew if Chris was there he wouldve changed it for me.
I am a regualr customer & i always goes there...
Dont know wat you guys think but its my exxpirence with em & i wasnt happy & i taut i deserved to be treated abit more fairly as a customer.
I left ehr with the item & walked off saying "ok never mind it ok"
she then rushed outside when i was about to jump into my car & hailed otu you forgot it...i told her its ok i will have no use for it as itis broken & i am not gonna spend 40-60$ to buy epoxi...
I then started my car & sort of ripped tyres to get out of there but still had to slow down on the nice smooth ruff track to come in by them (low profiles again!)

I must say she is helpful & i can depend on her to get my fishes when i am buying, but this one really surprised me & disappointed me.
They wouldnt be seeing me for a long long while even for fishes as the last set of tetras i bought ($300 worth) died in one week one after the other...& my fishes that were there before still alive at this moment & i mentioned it to them when i went & i felt like i was talkin to myself, she jus ignored me!

Anyone else had any expirences in the past/present & willin to share in details like me?

thats my lil expirence with em....
im not bashin & sayin for you'all not to go by them eh....im ju sharing my story!
Regards.

JoeZwalez · Postby **JoeZwalez** » June 28th, 2009, 11:33 pm

i have gotten that indifferrent type of attitude from Chai in the past. I summed it up to the fact that they possibly dont value the small "retail" customer as much as the wholesaler. I have gotten vastly different service when i spend $100 as opposed to $1000. It isnt right though, a customer should get value for money and good quality service regardless of how much they spend......far less if you are a loyal customer!

TriniVdub · Postby **TriniVdub** » June 28th, 2009, 11:39 pm

TriniVdub wrote:^^^na wasn't intentional, it started off with only 2 or 3 cichlids and now they just multiplying. Had a similiar problem when we first got the koi, in the bag had 2 guppies after a couple months they were literally thousands of those lil suckers running around, eventually had to drain the entire pond to get rid of all of them (tossed them in a river).

As for the depth its in layers kinda like steps, on the left side of the pond where the two plants are located in the pic is about 1.5 ft, then from there it drops down to almost 4ft in depth, then back up to another ft or so.

I really like that set up there and that's a good depth as well , how do you get the oxygen down to those levels?

Hilaries also do that multiplying thing quickly as well, Iused them once as food for my koi , but i was not sure wht was happening i did not mind seeing them go down the drain as they would eventually end up in a river 150 meters away.

RORO hooked me up with some lilies and the gold fish love them and no more algae water thanks RORO and Mayaro man
