Alamo Aquatics sold me a ton of them a while back, nice and cheap, though they did give me a lot of funny looks and told me they probably wouldn't do it again.

lol
the lfs here is a buncha ignorant tightwads, i "donated" a 100 gallon glass tank to them for a live rock tank because they can never catch their fish in theirs, i told them to just hook it up as a sump for filtration or just use it for curing then storage.... the actual trade consisted of 4 bags of live sand on their part, and they didnt order it the week when they said they would, then the next week she told me she couldnt get oolite white sand and now i got four bags of brown stuff with sea shells all in it, which im gonna use in my new 120 anyway but still, what a buncha shiesty people.... ooh yeah and she made it a freshwater tank and still has all her live rock mixed in with her fish where it takes 1 and a half hours to catch 4 green/blue chromi's rotfl.... whatever i never am gonna shop there again...

ooh yeah and she still charges me over 100 percent markup on everything they've got.... all im asking for is mabe a 50 percent markup on the prices she pays for my good deed lol, for a small bag of salt that mixes 55 gallons she charges 35 bucks plus tax..... a 20lb bag of carib sea live sand = 70 dollars to her lol.... people these days, ooh well she just missed out on over 2 grand of business from me that i spent online...

I hear you Noob. It seems like saltwater stores choose one of two selling options. Reasonable prices with bargains mixed in = lots of customers. Or insanely high prices = few customers. I'm not sure who makes the most money in the end, but I would think it would be the store that has the reasonable prices.

Depends on location and competition. If you're in a busy location and have a high-profile store front you can prey on n00bs and businesses that don't know much and pay out the nose to get setup. If you're tucked away in a low profile location it's high repeat customer volume that you need.

Big bird: Thanks man that looks like exactly what I'll need, that would supply me for life for seventy usdollars...

kyle and josh: If I opened a shop here I could easily wholesale from an online fish store, not even a distributor and do 100 percent markup and beat most of their prices everytime.. not to mention if i bought some quantity of tanks from glass cages.... On their perfecto tank setups, with the cheapest pine stand and no overflows, they charge more than an online retailer charges for the high quality stand and tank with the over flows plus shipping... its pathetic, cause they dont have to pay shipping on it and their distrubitor buys mass quantitys and has their own big trucks....
