Thumbs down Does RMRC need a sponsor like this?

Some of the RMRC members got involved in a group buy on diver direct Hawaii fish See Thread Here . That order didn't turn out so well and Steve the owner of Front Range Aquatics (Ft Collins) went about his way to make sure that we the hobbyist were unable to place that order See Thread Here .

Is there a reason that RMRC needs Front Range Aquatics as it's sponsor? I don't understand how someone who sponsors a Denver reef club would go to such lengths to screw over those same people who support it.

Some of us are not members of RMRC, this does not help us want to join. Some of us are members, donate things at frag swaps, and spend there time helping RMRC. RMRC was better before Front Range Aquatics, they have not helped RMRC help the hobbyist, which is what I believe RMRC's main goal is. Quoted from RMRC description "The Colorado Rocky Mountain Reef Club is dedicated to the endorsement, education, and fellowship of captive marine systems hobbyists in the Rocky Mountain region."


Christina I am sorry, but it is hard for me to support anything affiliated with Front Range Aquatics. I am sure others feel the same way. I suggest picking up a new, more local sponsor that Denver reefers can relate with. One that will work with the hobbyists and not against them.

Ok I have kept my mouth shut till now I have my own opinions on the whole thing but the lot of you are starting to sound like a kid that doesn't get the shiny new toy at Christmas grow up also mods I have no interest in any of the stores here but I would suggest the mods close all of these threads and possibly this forum before things get out of hand.

Grow up? Not getting a toy for christmas.....

I ordered 20 somthing fish, set up QT tanks for all of them, and spent over $100 just preparing for these fish to get here in the case they should come. This is not a toy at all and I don't feel you are in a place to tell anyone to grow up, nobody has gone off on pointless off topic rants but yourself up to this point. The point needs to be made regardless if you don't have any interest in it.

Youve got my vote. And I will never spend another dollar at FRA. Talk about sleezy.

And I thought Frank Azar was the only Strongarm!
