My LFS offers some pretty good discounts on cash deals From the owner not an employee skimming.For equipment, it's too easy to research and buy online, though (for me).

You must own a LFS lolLFS Challenge - Lets see how many of us can commit to shopping first at our LFS
Even if they don't stock what you need ask them to order it for you and pay their fair mark up price.
Without our LFS's where are we ?
Lets try our best to support LFS
If you don't have a convenient one, then that's understandable
I have committed to 100 % LFS first !!!

Then this challenge is not for you. Its ok, not every idea works for everybody.None of them within 30 min carry what I need for the most part. Why would I want to deal with buying hundreds of gallons of salt which weighs about a hundred pounds? Why would I want to spend more on gear when I get better deals from friends? None of them carry live food either.
No I do not own an LFSYou must own a LFS lol
Understandable, Kudos for at least trying.Both of my nearest LFS had the 250 ml for 29.99..I just couldn't do it
so you force the delivery driver to carry all your heavy ****? that's the exact reason I buy all my sand, salt and rock from the store. I feel bad making somebody else carry all that weight. I only buy this stuff online if there is a deal I just can't pass up.None of them within 30 min carry what I need for the most part.

Understandable, the thought doesn't work out for everyone.I wish. The best LFS around me are petco and petsmart. The closest lfs carries aquatop products. 78$ instant ocean buckets of salt. Saltwater fish are basically clowns. Every once and awhile other fish. 0 corals. 0 test supplies. The best lfs is an hour drive. Has all the things listed but tanks riddled in Apistasa. When I can I still frequent but it's a drive that cost as much as shipping. Once the gas and food to drive there cost as much as shipping the choice between lfs quality and online quality comes into play. Do I want Tidal garden, sbb, wwc, TSA, battle corals, and so on. Or do I want frags covered in Apistasa, vermited snails, and all the uglies.
Yes that’s exactly what I do as I pay for shipping. I believe carrying it is included in what I pay for. It’s ease of use and convenience. As a business owner the time and convenience of online is worth a lot.so you force the delivery driver to carry all your heavy ****? that's the exact reason I buy all my sand, salt and rock from the store. I feel bad making somebody else carry all that weight. I only buy this stuff online if there is a deal I just can't pass up.
I have both of them but I hear you. The initiative is great but on my end and I live in LA btw there’s no LFS within 30 min that would even consider doing it… kinda sadThen this challenge is not for you. Its ok, not every idea works for everybody.
1 thought is you could buy an RODI unit from your LFS, and buy your salt mix from them.
I agree that some LFS's these days don't carry what you need, mostly because all their customers buy everrything online. They can't compete, but slow change of the tide will bring your LFS's back around.
Think Chicken or Egg.
It's tough when your stores don't carry what you need, neither did mine, until I sent them a list and asked if they could please keep in stock these items that I always use.
Again, this idea may not work for everyone. But it's worth a try.
I know a few in Utah...... And I'm in fl. Just saying. I understand they might not be local to u thoIf my LFS wants my money, they should work for it just like everybody else. Carry stuff reefers want. Have clean tanks. Don’t sell sick and disease riddled livestock.
There isn’t a LFS around me that’s worth supporting
