2003年初是海洋水族馆行业的牲畜sling脚的好年份。珊瑚礁水族馆的爱好正在膨胀,新的收集地点左右开放。买卖双方与卖家的比率极为偏爱市场,似乎每周都会弹出新的在线供应商。2003年4月,Reefer Madness发起了,可以说他们单手重新发明了高端珊瑚舞台。他们拥有最好的Wysiwyg,每隔几天就会使用任何人见过的最令人震惊的珊瑚。对于SPS爱好者来说,RM Wysiwyg是一种与SPS Nuts共享的痴迷。Even if you couldn’t afford to buy their top-shelf corals (at top-shelf RM prices), at least you could see what kind of corals were being imported from week to week and you could be on the lookout for species from certain regions. Additionally, the RM staff had an eye for the most unusual coral species and NO ONE could touch their selection for the sheer number of oddball corals that they could pick out from the more commonly seen species. Also, RM didn’t invent the珊瑚名称的营销but with a different colorful, descriptive name forevery single coralfor sale, RM took the goofy naming convention to new heights. For about two or three years RM was the top dawg in the online coral vending world but beginning around 2006, the markets began to saturate with corals and prices for even the choice colonies were going for much more reasonable prices. Early in 2008 the company was sold to owners which very poorly managed what was left of RM into the sand bed. We are unsure as to when the site was officially shuttered, but RIP ReeferMadness and Monty, Poseidon knows we still have some of your corals and even more of the crazy pics you used to share with us every week.
Reefer Madness is gone for good
