I got 90% of my fish from petco, I have a really nice one near me and will order me any fish I want. They have some soft coral and clams as well, I’ve been trying to convince the manager to do a frag tank.

Ours doesn't sell anything marine related. Well, maybe Instant Ocean salt....maybeNot true. I've been buying a bunch of my reefing salt from Petsmart for the last few years.
They carry Fritz, IO, and RC brand salts and have some pretty good sales. Like right now.
Right now you can get Fritz for under $40/bucket and IO for under $30/bucket.
(3) buckets of IO are $85 plus tax right now.
They sell sw related items its all dry goods. Some of the cheapest salt prices is petsmart.PetSmart as a whole does not sell or carry anything saltwater related.
I got a HUGE (compared to my LFS) bubble tip for $50!!!If you have a petco with a good saltwater section, you can get a steal on corals if you pay attention. I got a 6 headed torch for 80 dollars, and a 4 headed hammer for 70. They get pretty nice nems in too. Bubble tips are average priced at 50 each, but the carpets they get can be really nice, and theyre only 60.
Yup. All of the Petsmarts local to me sell salt, additives and other dry goods. Just no fish or anything like that.They sell sw related items its all dry goods. Some of the cheapest slat prices is petsmart.
My LFS has the audacity to literally get BTA from a guy I know, he gets 30 dollars store credit for each, They are just standard RBTA, nothing special. And they re sell these things for 205 a pop. Its the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen from a LFS.I got a HUGE (compared to my LFS) bubble tip for $50!!!
If people didn't buy them at that price point they wouldn't sell them at that price point. It's only worth what a person is willing to payMy LFS has the audacity to literally get BTA from a guy I know, he gets 30 dollars store credit for each, They are just standard RBTA, nothing special.

Oh I agree for sure, I just feel bad that people could buy all the bta's they want on here or even any FB group for less than 50 each. I consider that highway robbery lol. Its not as bad, but close to it, they charge 60 a piece for "ultra" rock flowers, and they got some bigger ones than normal in, and they listed them as "premium ultra" and want 105 each for a rock flower. Thats taking advantage of uneducated reefers.If people didn't buy them at that price point they wouldn't sell them at that price point. It's only worth what a person is willing to pay

Local hobbiest keep that in check trades and such.WOW!
Thanks for the hot tip. I might stock up, moc strategic salt reserve is down to one 25 gallon bag!
If people don't support their LFS, then eventually large corporate chain pet mills will be the only option. Then you will pay $99.00 for a frag of GSP that might not make it home in the bag.
I have a blue damsel from Petco and I love her and what’s all that stuff over the glass? Salt creep?Mine had this little guy today. Really wanted him.

OH NO BAD!!! BAD!!! BAD!!!
Mine sells them for $300! Which is weird because I had a fellow reefer give me two because they spilt like clockwork. I gave him a mushroom and a zoa frag even though he didn't ask. So I got one and then a couple months later he gave me another. Now I just looked in the back of my tank and there is another. I will let one go at half the price of my LFS...My LFS has the audacity to literally get BTA from a guy I know, he gets 30 dollars store credit for each, They are just standard RBTA, nothing special.
