Sorry that our clowning around was perceived as whining.
I bet if everyone had to dig deeper to run a reef tank, there would be less pockets to dig and stores would go out of business because reefkeepers simply quit the hobby. The reason why more people are getting into reefing now is because prices keep coming down. This can mean more business to the stores when lower prices attract new customers. Lower prices isn't always a bad thing for the industry or store if the total revenue and profit increases because of it. The market isn't saturated yet. Lots of freshwater hobbiests out there waiting to convert or start up a marine tank.
Try selling computers. I heard that the profit on systems is like 2-3%.
