Boy, what has recently happened on the planted tank is just disgusting.

First off most of you should know by know that it isn't the JBJ regulator thats for sale, its a Milwaukee. Still a good deal yes, but not for me for being mislead. - http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10576 I find Olav's post to be perhapes "manipulative?" I don't care if he thinks the Milwaukee is better...I want to get the regulator that was for sale.

And then this happened. Boy, if I ordered from AP my soul might not rest so well.

BTW, the controller from AP is not really that hot of a deal since it doesn't come w/ calibration solution. If you order from glass-gardens, he includes a FREE 220 mL of 7.01 buffer solution. These normally cost $15-20 + shipping, and you must have it to calibrate the probe. Plus glass-gardens is a sponser of this forum.

If anyone ever needs to order pH calibration solutions go to Omega.com.

475ml bottle is $5. 1 gallon is $18. I ordered some 7 and 4 solutions from them a few months ago. Shipping is reasonable and they send along a nice catalog of tubing, fitting and metering pumps.

Nice! That is a very good deal. Thanks for sharing, I put my order in!

Interesting, the thread was deleted.

I will just tell you in short. A lot of cursing, smart a**ing, and insulting. People who had a problem with their order or the business ethics were treated like trash.

Yep, it's down for me too...wouldn't be surprised that it is linked to all of this.

I've been following that thread very closely the few days it has been up. The moderators of Planted Tank made the right move. There was a lot of trash talk and bs (by the sponsor) and absolutely necessary to pull it. Nothing positive was coming out of it and pulling it was the best for the community.

But dang...at the same time everyone should have the right to know what happened! I wish all had a chance to witness themselves the depths of how low human character can fall and the such disgusting business ethics!

This whole case isn't about "what ifs" and a sponsor being dead, incapacitated, mother is sick...it even doesn't concern the sponser. They are still doing well and are answering the phones and taking care of customer orders. The problem is this one individual and his nasty smart arse attitude and swearing that was unleashed on the members.

No one is getting revenge. No Webmaster is writing a condemnation letter on him and AP is still a sponser on the PT. He obviously wanted everyone to see is remarks, and that why he himself publicly posted his replies in a forum for all to see.

If anything, the sales and tech associate should be on his knees thanking the moderators for pulling his trashy ranting. That thread was heading nowhere but to be a free for all melee. Editing his posts is a huge favor.

And of course in the end...he has completely authority over his posts. All he has to do is delete them.
