Ya, it's ridiculous I acquired a small jar somewhere, the sticker on it was near $20. Maybe half a pound??

People always seem to complain about how expensive this hobby is, but then make no attempt to keep the costs down. There is often alternate bulk chems available and lightly used equipment, trading coral etc. Sometimes I think that the cost causes people to leave the hobby when it really doesn't have to be that way.
