Jack I hear ya-

Maybe I/O are reducing there salt to cut cost so they can use more funding for there quality assurance statement

, as I saw a new add for I/O that states:
Quote:
The perfect solution for creating the ideal environment. So perfect, in fact, they're performance-certified by Marineland labs-your assurance of superior quality, consistency and value.

As for the King Ed's/ J&L's thing, I would rather go shopping for meat at a butcher than at the supermarket- so as long as there quality, supply, service, and price stay fare then I will keep giving J&L's my $$$. Although time in a day doesn't alway's allow us to go to the butchers, so instead we go to the supermarket for price, selection, or convienence. Hopefully J&L's move to go into fresh won't effect there saltwater focus, if it keeps them afloat then there just staying competitive in a crazy-cut-throat buisness world.
just my two-cents,
