I guess I should clarify. I agree, that when buying fish/inverts, you can easily rack up $75. But what about when you are happy with all of your inhabitants and all you need at the time is a Ph test kit (or pick your dry goods item). What about the newbie that asks "where do I start" and everyone says buy a good book. That newbie can't just buy the good book that everyone recommended from this site because of the minimum. The point I am trying to make (obviously not very successfully) is that I would bet money that most people wouldn't mind spending a few bucks for shipping to support this site and buy the little items that are needed in between the big purchases. In my previous post, I mentioned that I bought $35 worth of stuff from a competitor. It was three different test kits that I needed, but couldn't buy from here. I wanted to support this site, but I couldn't because I didn't meet there minimum. Basic economics, a $35 sale is better than no sale. the guy/gal that works in the fulfillment center still gets paid whether he is boxing an order or reading the paper waiting for the next one to come in.
