Times are tough. Tough for us. Tough for your LFS. Let's not let any more stores close. Any thoughts?

I do have to agree...we all like a good deal, but is the guy that you got that product for cheaper in the US going to know your name, let alone what your tank has going on in it? I bet most reefers that frequent the LFS have a connection with the staff, can call whenever something is going wrong, and enjoy putting money back into the local economy rather than the US economy. On the island there are 2 shops going out of business....2! We don't have that many....so shop there when you can...support someone you know locally in all ways possible. ALSO, the more you shop there, the better deals and more product they may bring in to compete more with the US.

Just my 2 cents!
