So they reformulated the product and didn’t notify anyone?
Well, except for liveaquaria, RedSea, tropic marin salt, vibrant, instant ocean, hanna checkers, Neptune salinity probes, hahaha yeah. I’m just poking funAnyone else laugh whenever BRS gets sharted on by people? It's just funny to me because it seems like bullying BRS is a side hobby of some reefers. I can't think of any other company that people in this hobby like to crap on more even though there are companies in this hobby way more deserving of attacks than brs.
There’s a place called Texas Donuts that’s a little further away and I’ll hit them up once or twice a month. KK is still better than most supermarket donuts though. It’s something I’ll get 2-3 times a year when I’m craving a donut but everything is closed.The egregious thing is that people call Krispy Kreme, a donut store. It definitely is not.
Small mom and pop donut shops are the way. If you can find one that bakes with potato flower, even better.
Krispy Kreme are an abomination.
how about this one

its also the same thing as the hydros wifi that cost 39.99.
I have been shopping more at salwtwateraquarium.com/premium aquatics anymore as they have gone from good place to shop to now corporate greed
You’ll notice that month over month increases in CPI and PCE are actually pretty low now so that’ll hopefully continue.Everyone and everything is going up in price. Companies are getting greedier and greedier. Something has to change, or the future is bleak.

i dont know anything about the focus tronic. but I have that amazon powerbar on my Hydros and it acts 100% same as the unit that comes with the hydros.Can you get the amazon product to work with the focustronic ...
"The Powertronic is a smart power bar made to wirelessly control your devices from anywhere in the world. Use the Powertronic in conjunction with a Focustronic Mastertronic or Alkatronic in order to gain complete control over your aquarium system. Use the “Auto” mode to set rules that will trigger your equipment to turn on or off for any duration based on measurements taken by your monitoring devices. For example, when NO3 is too low, it can turn off your filter or skimmer for a couple hours or days to allow nutrients to raise up again."
the amazon product is OEM, that allows you to develop to its API...
Like you said on the hydros...this would be a better comparison.

It's my own fault if i dont shop around. not the vendors.
Agree on the rest
And this is why I went DIY.
Good point.. its not the powerbar hardware its the controller connecting to it, that is making the API calls to the powerbar.i dont know anything about the focus tronic. but I have that amazon powerbar on my Hydros and it acts 100% same as the unit that comes with the hydros.
If we only held ourselves to the standards which we hold others to. That would be a fine place indeed.
Give them an inch, they will end up taking a mile over time.I completely agree that many companies change as they grow larger and what was once a great niche business becomes the “evil corporation.”
However, unless you live under a rock everything has increased in price. The last couple years have seen massive price increases in many materials. I don’t doubt “questionable” business practices but as the global economy changes so do bottom line costs.
In a hobby where people will drop $2000 on equipment that will do what a $15 test kit will with 5 minutes of time it seems silly that we get so wound up by 100g of chemical.
Yup, totally possible…as long as we hobbyists keep walking that mile which is unlikely in the long run.Give them an inch, they will end up taking a mile over time.
