I phoned Toatlpet head office in Kelowna and they tell me that the supplier sets the prices. It's too bad that they are the only LFS in this town that "tries" to deal in SW. Last month they had a small yellow tang on sale for $90.

It would be cheaper to just order from J&L and pay shipping. Looks like total with shipping to PG would be $78 for a bucket. The only way to change price gouging is to vote with your wallet. Don't buy salt from them and make it clear why you won't shop there. That price is outrageous. If their supplier is setting those prices then they are getting gouged by their supplier and should find another source.

Do retailers really take that much of a hit on salt sales?

Im on board with this one too! Its very difficult to buy anything from them. Im all for supporting local buisness, but they have a colony of frogspawn there for $60!! i bought one roughly the same size from whatcaneyedo for $10! And i know his is kept in the best of care. The same with salt, I ended up just ordering one from JL. I think im going to save up and buy a bunch when we go to edm or vanc this year. Its getting tougher in this town i remember having like 3 stores in town that delt with salt when i started the hobby, not sure if the prices were any better then but had to of been better then $110 a bucket. Considering that doesnt last all that long its pretty rediculous. I do realize that they have to cover shipping and other expenses and there is a profit that needs to be made as well but if i can buy a bucket from anywhere online, (ont,bc,doesnt matter) and get it to my door for around $80 i would think they should be able to do close to the same. Maybe $85-$90 and i wouldnt even bother with going to jl. But when were talking $30 i can wait. I also see what people are talking about too that the bigger you are the more you can buy and better discount you get. My only arguement to that is that there are quite a few total pets, and there price is still higher then some of the stores with only one outlet. Per volume total pet would be more for sure but cant offer a better price? That doesnt add up to me.
