Low Ball Vendor?

[sen5241b]

If you want to take the time to read this whole thread I think you will agree this was a rather low ball tactic. I have not used Crystal Reef Sand but apparently it is perfectly good.

Haha, that was a funny read.!! That reminds me of certain people on here who tend to battle it out ( i hear there partners now).. Nice post.!

good thing reefmaniac backed off. it looks like he was walking a very thin line potentially exposing himself to legal action.

I don't know exactly who to believe but I never like seeing a vendor posting personal information like that. With all the other sand options out there, I think I would just stay away from both of them to be safe.

Interesting. I still want to know, though, if the CR sand meets the testing standards for common aragonite sand (bubbling CO2 on contact with an acid such as vinegar).

Agreed.

I think the way he was being attacked and the manner in which he was being attacked warranted telling people about the guy's many aliases. The guy's aliases are an important part of the story (to me).

 

I can't even watch the video, he has removed it.

 

I certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy the CR sand based solely on anything in that thread.

Let's add to the fun... Here is an RC thread started that didn't last nearly as long...

As if we don't have enough drama here already let's bring it in from other sites.

 

For all we know the threads were started by CR as a PR move. I for one had never heard of them until now.

Now that would've been very very clever!

I watched the entire video (before it was deleted) and the funny thing is I did not think the video was very convincing when I saw it. The aliases and the fact the CR critic has his own sand to sell says it all.
