Justin. I dont want to cause bad blood here, but your arguments fall flat.
Sorry. Logic, common sense and economics betray your points.

Easy... the price of the euroreef is based on what the market will bear. Not the price of salt or the profit made from sale of salt.

I did read the thread before I posted. I see no evidence of this. Perhaps if salt prices suddenly went up at the LFS or certain brands of salt were removed from the sales floor, I could MAYBE make an educated guess that the salt manufacturers were ****ed about low prices, but without the salt manufacturer making a public notice about it, I wont know for sure.

Smooth dodge. Entirely avoids the thrust of my point. So, with $200 of equip to support this tank, what is the long term health of the tank? Continuous replacement of livestock?

No. Yet I am a small biz owner. But what does that have to do with the discussion at hand?
