BRS aquires Marine Depot

Just got this email.

 

[Waboss]

Yep, I just got it to. It's not April 1st is it? Haha

 

[AdamD76]

It will be intresting to see how this works out.

 

[PeterC99]

Will they stock all inventory from each place?

 

[Adamantium]

That investment firm sure is throwing money around to make BRS a monopoly.

Did you just announce your engagement at my wedding? Lol.

 

[NShirke]

Same.. Got the email.. Made a recent purchase with Marine depot. They're closing doors on 30th july.

 

[NShirke]

Is BRS now the "Amazon" of reef world?

 

[old salt reefer]

well, one less supplier, BRS sold not long ago too. AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO SALES PAY TAX.

I know I’m gonna be the outlier here cause everyone LOVES BRS soo much, but….
Boooooo
Monopolization sucks. This will only hurt the industry in The long run IMO.

I'm a BRS fan, and I still don't like this. Too much centralization of power. Next to nothing good about that.

Nothing against BRS, but I'm marine depot guy.. Great service, and faster shipping.

its time for Saltwateraquarium.com to step up their Reef game!

Man…..I really dislike BRS and really like MD…

I second this. I also feel Marine Depot had a decent amount of stuff I couldn’t find on BRS

They do a good job! I ordered a couple times from them.

BRS is about to become a reefing superpower and empire. Next thing is going to be other smaller sites and then they might start buying coral and fish retailers.

I bought my RODI from Marine Depot because they had a deal that so long as you purchased the unit from them, you got 15% off of the replacement filters, etc. for life. It was a nice deal. They also had amazing service when one of the elbows broke. I'll miss them as a vendor. I wonder of @Bulk Reef Supply will honor that program?

I do think BRS is a little to picky on what they carry on there site.
