crimsonvice Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Sure is. Marine Depot seemed to have much better customer service. Not to say I haven't shopped at BRS, but they were not my go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 They will ruin them just like Petco did Drs Foster and Smith. I hope our friends that were still there got a payday out of the deal at least. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishoutofwater Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I’m sure Bertram capital put forth enough $ to make the deal go through. I get stuff from both but I’m not a fan of losing other sources. I used to order exclusively from Drs foster smith back in the day. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 To me that is a bunch of BS...Not to be confused with Bulk Supply. They have pushed and pushed Neptune for years. Encouraged everyone to buy it, and now they own the whole market. How will this effect other retailers like Saltwater aquarium.com? They carry Neptune products, but I bet there will be better incentives to buy direct from BRS now. Maybe nothing will change, but sounds bad to me.

Fishoutofwater Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I can see many of the other supply companies ditching Neptune for hydros maybe GHL if they don’t carry them now. Why would you sell something to help your competitor? 23 hours ago, Muttley000 said: As an apex fanboy, I doubt they could hurt the company more than they damaged themselves in the last few years! They are hurting their own credibility with this for sure. A ton of people live by the BRS videos for info and testing. How can you believe they are not bias with anything? Honestly they have been somewhat bias from the get go but this just puts it over that cliff. Neptune has been living on their marketing alone for awhile now.
