MCF was a very cool store but it was the employees that made it great. Without Blake, Reed, and everybody else(sorry I'm not good with names) MCF would be just another fish store. When I got the email I was upset but wanted to wish them well because I've always had great experiences.
how so wrong of you to say that. the owner never once deviated from trying to create the best place for all of us..there never was previous management..the original staff went off on their own and never saw the company become what it became. whatever you hearded was misinformation...the blogs are so misinformed..i worked with these people they cared more about their customers than any company i have ever done business with and now in their time of suffering its so hard to see them be trashed when so much went into building that business. kind of selfish to hear such mis information when in fact that was not what really happened..

You took the words right out of my mouth! If it hadn't been mainly for Blake and Reed as well I don't think I would've ever stopped in there.

I have been going to MCF exclusively since I discovered them last year. I am saddened that they will refuse to sell to the retail customers. If they are there anyway doing the wholesale, then I do not understand why they can not keep open. Unless they plan on clearing out the tanks and sumps and making the retail spot available for another company / business to rent the place. MCF WILL BE MISSED!!

I only kept going there because Blake did such a great job representing the store and Reed was great and very knowledgeable at the store. The employees made that place great!
sounds like blake is the only one talking about what happend to the employees...word is he wasnt there when all of this happened and the owners couldnt get him to respond to their emails so they could talk to him and offer him a job under the new company umbrella..so sad to hear all of this gossip when it is not true..ive a feeling the owners will eventually respond to some of this and clear the air..so sad i cant believe what im reading here...im new here..just got on to see what happened to my friends at mcf and im finding it filled with bad information..seems like blake is the spokesperson here..and im guessing he himself doesnt know what truly happened just yet..

So why all the deleting of pages, no more FB out of nowhere and the mis-communication with their employees? They're still keeping one side open why didn't they offer them something there. To me it sounds like there's ALOT more to it than that. I'm not trying to bash on anyone because in all honestly I loved MCF and their employess but imo, cmon!

Knowing Blake, he isn't that kind of a kid. Not many like him you can find out there. He is dedicated, responsible and has a LOVE for this hobby as well.

it's just odd that everything was shut down all of a sudden, and employees wont' talk? and you all of a sudden pop up to defend them?
I think people are just mad that a great place like that would close down without adequate notice.

I just think they could have gone out like some sort of hero from an epic poem if they handled this differently. A simpleton could see that all of this angst could have been avoided if they simply had a last-hurrah-going-out-of-business-thanks-for-all-the-memories-party/sale weekend. It just boggles the mind the more I think about it. They could have profited greatly but instead they just anger the masses. You almost have to believe their has to be more too it. Perhaps Coralking has heard more through the grapevine. . .

I'm curious about this new guy that came out of nowhere with all of this amazing insider "heresay" about what is really happening. Who is really behind that mask posting all this info trying to justify the companies decision to the customers that are all offended by that decision????

Havent gone there alot but everytime I have the service and the product was great. I loved how they updated facebook with new corals/fish it really made me want to head all the way out there to buy new stuff. I cant believe they would just do that to their staff, not cool.

Gary, I did respond to Sara's email. It took a 4 hours but after the cold voicemail I got from Steve it was hard to pull myself together and send a more dignified response to the slap in the face I received this morning. If the owners really wanted to get a hold of me they would have tried calling again if they needed a response so quickly. Don't bullshit me about a job as the emails I read and the words spoken to me explicitly said I was out of a job but you would be happy to supply a reference. No thanks for my 2 and a half years, just a cold informative message. And I was there when this was going down. All last week there were chances to talk to me and fill me in.
