What happens when they damage items, your spare stock holdimg would need to be high I think, i.e. broken heaters, fish die and customers blame you because the equipment failed!! INSURANCE COSTS!! Soz to be negative but I have my own business and believe me customers in general are great but there are those that make you wanna give in or just plain batter them!! On a positive, its great you wanna promote fish keeping.
