GCReef Update on store hours.
We appreciate all the interest and new customers that have been at the store. We consistently hear how the store is immaculate like a lab, have the best quality and cheapest coral in South Texas. I welcome anyone to come visit and see this for themselves. Our store bred onyx clowns and Bangaii cardinals are a testament to the quality and conditions and attention to detail we follow. Cant be succcessful any other way, IMO. As you know the store is run by hobbyists, hence we are able to treat each coral, fish, egg as our own........and any loss as our own loss. Because it is run this way, we occasionally have trouble with the store hours due to people's schedule changes. I apologize for this a few good customers were effected and we hope they will understand why.........to staff the store full time 6 days a week would increase our costs and we are trying to keep our costs low......to keep your costs low. On the average, my bet is our coral is priced 30-60% lower than competitors......freebies are a plenty also. The combined knowledge of the owners and staff is exceptional, advice is always free and eagerly offered when asked.
Ok, having said all that, we are making some changes (not to our quality or prices) to benefit our important and loyal customer base that is growing everyday. We have hired another staff member who has been interested in helping us for a long time, he has a great knowledge base and many of you here will know him.
