I wish we sold out! It kind of been my major "to-do" since we started the online department
If you'd like to do the math however, dont forget to include 30 families we have to feed, electrical, water, supplies, and all the rest of the overhead that many people overlook, dont forget the 400 hours of labor that went into it. That 150,000 very quickly becomes enough for a pizza party haha
for sure thats just the gross pay after all of the deductions, the net pay is way far down.

We always tend to forget that its not just a HOBBY for all of these guys. And can't imagine the water and electrical costs associated with 10,000 gallons of high end tanks not even considering the investment in equipments which are nothing but some of the top of the top line you can get . We are just fortunate and forever grateful to have amazing LFS like TSA to help us fuel our passion .

if Tsa sells all of these corals there looking to make $150,000+ in 2 night
doesn't matter how much they make/made but how much they saved us making this hobby more affordable.
I owned a retail full line pet store for just shy of 12 years and cant count mainly during the summer how many times I dipped into my own paycheck as I also held a full time job and borrowed for the store.
All those tanks = all those lights and pumps = all those utility bills not to mention insurance, payroll, workmans comp , telephone, supplies for shipping, gasoline and many more.

I shut the store down because too many asked for deals and didn't care how I paid the bills and thought I was getting rich off the store. . .ha-ha. . . . . . and now they get to pay PetSmart Prices. Just irritates me when finances are brought up.
IT TAKES MORE THAN A SALE OF 10-12 FRAGS TO PAY THE BILLS !!

Well said, no one ever realizes what it costs to properly run a business.

@TopShelfAquatics any idea what the mystery drags are gonna be? Sps, lps, softie?
It depends on your order so if you bought all LPS its going to be LPS.
We try to make it as similar as possible to the other types in your order
