Is it a new shop?
I quite going to the west side cause the shops are dying out.
I went to barrier reef for the longest time till the merged and customer service went down hill.

Newtosaltwater · Jul 25, 2015

This shop is been open for a while now. Customer service is amazing, they ship for $10 dollars.and their live stock is always in very good shape.

twilliard · Jul 25, 2015

Right on nice to know there is another shop around.

Well I have these hundreds of eagle eye's that I need to prune back but don't know how lol

Newtosaltwater · Jul 25, 2015

Haha if you figure it out I'll take as many as you can give me.

Newtosaltwater · Jul 26, 2015

If they are stuck to a rock and you don't mind sending me the rock with it I can reimburse you for the rock.

twilliard · Jul 26, 2015

I'm curious, who do you think they merged with?
I've been going to Barrier Reef since they opened( even before when they were in a garage) and I have seen nothing about a merge.
Got a problem with customer service, all you have to do is ask someone for help in the store. As long as they aren't helping someone else.

There are several stores on the westside that are excellent fish stores.
Barrier Reef
Oceans By Design
Saltwater City
Sharks Reef

Didn't Cy buy blue sierra? Or blue sierra bought them.

on blue sierra's site back several years ago it stated "we are now barrier reef"
I too have been going there since they opened.
The chick that was helping me and my wife didn't like me asking how Cy was and didn't care for me asking. (Just last year) she said " he is living somewhere in Canada, who knows"
she treated us from then on with the biggest snotty attitude also made us feel dumb.
so ya..

poor customer service

Blue Sierra and Barrier Reef are 2 separate stores.
Not sure what the problem with " the chick" was, but Cy did go on vacation to Canada last year. If I remember right, he has relatives up there?

Problems with customer service remain problems, until they are brought to the attention of managers or owners. Both Cy and Tim would have gladly answered any questions or done what was necessary to take care of any problems you had.

The only merge that has happened in the past couple years of local stores was when the Issaquah Blue Sierra closed and combined everything with the Renton store.
