i do agree that supporting a LFS that does care about their costomers is great i also do the same thing although the reason i buy my salt from petsmart is because the only LFS I go to doesn't carry that kind of salt and can't get it in. but that is the only thing I don't get from him. if I was comming to Omaha soon I would deff. be in for 1 or 2 buckets.
just wanted to state my reason for why i get it from petsmart as the closest decent LFS around is an hour and half drive from me

looks like we got it, I am in contact with Bill to see when this order will be ready for pick up at Petworld. I will keep you all informed and it will be soon. Any others????
I would also like to chime in on support the little LFS. I myself run a LFS out of my garage/showroom in Sioux Falls. It is very hard to keep doors open when you have the .com people selling items $2-3 over the cost wholesale. After I pay shipping I am losing $$. Yes I know cry me a river...not looking for that here. I am just stating that Huskerreef has a very good point, here in Sioux Falls there is nothing. IMO, when I moved back from my figure 8 around the nation playing in public aquariums, I tried to get a job at a LFS. They happily said not no but he!! no. They felt threatened. Oh well, they created there worst nightmare.
A guy that will try to sell as cheap but quality as he can. It has been a really rough and bumpy road. Some not selling to me becasue I do not have a street sigh and full on shop. I do however have quality livestock. All quartined 2 weeks, all Monti and Acro's treated for Nudi's, red bugs, and Acro Eating Flatworms...our other LFS have no clue what these are. It costs $$ and labor to do these 4 and 6 week long treatments. I am rambling on but a old dude once said over 100 years ago. SOmeone can always build something a little cheaper but you always get what you pay for. Me it is a little more $$, again a little, but the knowledge you get is priceless. I am a marine biologist with over 5 years experince in public aquaria...and even more as a hobbiest.
Just my long a$$ boring explantion...but you are right a little more $$ gives us a reason to stay open. I have not paid myelf in 3 months...summers are slow...I do this for the hobby/fun NOT for $$
Sorry if I hijacked the thread...just still be connected to Omaha...I was trained at Scott Aquarium by one of the best. Mitch
Thanks for the understanding.

The salt will be ordered on Monday arriving late next week. I have sent a PM to all who ordered with the payment and pick up details. I will say thank you to all that ordered and we will do this type of thing again in the future. Based on the size of this order I would say it was a success for all involved. If you have not recieved my PM please send me one and I will forward instructions. There still are a few more boxes available if anyone else is interested.
