MAAST Sponsors...

[Mr Cob]

Really appreciate all the comments, especially from the old timers who have much to offer. I know everyone has very busy schedules so thanks for taking the time to comment and network a little.

Feel free to send me your business cards or anything you would like to include in our orders we package. We will add them to all orders we ship (good benefit for those of you that have online shops) and we will include them in some of our local pickup orders especially the orders that we think our customers may not know about you or might need a reminder for local support (good for the brick and mortar sponsors). We are already including MAAST business cards in our orders.

If anyone wants to send us anything please PM for our mailing address, I don't want it indexed in the search engines because we are an online vendor and not a brick and mortar.

Below are our media account links...just click the images, our YouTube channel has over 1100 subscribers which isn't exactly easy to come by.

I like the concept very much. However, down in Houston, some stores just do not like each other. Some talk mess and some tell consumers bad things about the other, my goal is to keep my business afloat. There are way to many things to worry about then just talk. That is why I like maast. I haven't seen much bad talk at all, and everybody here is nice and respectful.

We are all here for the same reasons; love for our hobby, advancements in our hobby, friends, love for MAAST and love for the reefing community and of course to make money.

Well said

Ill get some right out also John my adress has changed please note... 8034 Culebra Rd. #502 San Antonio Tx 78251.. Thanks man

no problem i send a lot of packages around texas, but no corals or fish...so....? it wouldnt hurt for us to network to some extent, i think everyone has their own niche anyway and hobbyists would get bored with only vendor, no way to keep up with them. i am not local though...but I can send list of stores as part of like an info packet to customers, letting them know of local club and stores in their area. people down the block probably know of you, but maybe not the guy 45 minutes away, but will make a day trip out of it...

[Mr Cob]

sent you a PM John with my address.

If anyone else wants us to include information about you in our orders just PM me for my address.

Networking is a great thing and I am all for it. If retailers stay motivated it helps the hobby grow! When things get stagnate our hobby tends to do the same.

I think it is great that we can all agree to work together for the best of this hobby.. but and let me apoligize first for going off a different direction for a moment .. I think its very cool for each of us to maybe be able drop business cards or other info about each others place of course with each other permission or understanding of what is to take place.. Its another thing for me to go onto a fellow LFS website and find that not only did they use my name but all LFS names from here to Austin as search engine tags on the front page of website..i dont remember being asked and maybe you dont have to but maybe with some type of morrals.. I dont like it and im sure other store owners would not like it either.. Antics like that is why it seems like we owners cant seem to get along.. once again sorry Rob for going off I hope that the few of us that have the same goals can climb many mountains.....

Way to go guys... It's awesome to see businesses work together than try to cut each others throat's. Who knows, maybe a partnership is in order... Perhaps get together and make one BIG fish store? No?

Wow. That's desperation, to mooch off someone else's good name. Take it as a compliment, since it assumes you're the one being searched for. In this hobby people learn quick to look for quality in the product and kindness in the staff.

We would just argue about which side of town to put it on ;)

I vote northeast
