hey meowser,i just sent aqua vitro an email asking what the deal is with nobody selling the salt online at a decent price.i will see what they tell me.
Well I called them a while back and got some lame story about local stores losing business to online dealers...SO to PROTECT local business.....they are NOT allowing their salt to be sold online...and when they find it.....they have it removed
Let's see what they tell you....LOL
OH YEAH......I also told them that they were discriminating against the people that live in rural areas

 

[deejeff442]

really? that makes no good business sense.

This is from a website for a fish store that is carrying it, but not selling it online.
aquavitro™ is being marketed in order to drive traffic through local fish stores. Therefore it is not available for purchase "on-line"

I can see that eventually, the entire hobby goes online. In Mississippi and Louisiana, I believe there has been 10+ LFS that have closed in the last few years. Sure, there are a lot of people out of business, but you have to sell to where there is a market...

I live in a suburban area and no LFS carries it near me. The closest store is 3 hours away. I was going to go to that store, but they are going out of business.

SEE....LOL....I did not make it up.......SOOOOOO those of us that live in "small" areas......are just out of luck I guess

I don't think that by only letting their product be sold in a live fish store that they will single handedly save live fish stores everywhere. Eventually they will sell it online because there won't be many live fish stores even left!

I don't know if it was mentioned yet but I've heard good things locally about the H2Ocean salt.

I can't imagine your coral being any more colorful and gorgeous, but please let us know if you see a difference (I also use Aquavitro).

Will do I am only into it for about a month but I will keep you informed on any significant difference.

 

[deejeff442]

i still dont understand why a company these days would cut sales by doing this.just stupid with the competition out there.

 

[deejeff442]

well they emailed back.yup they said it is not to be sold online and give them your zip code for the nearest store.i told them i dont get it why no online? seem to be cutting sales.so who knows

lol, not as easy as that. Usually requires a business license and tax ID number to buy wholesale from dry good suppliers.
haha...... I've got that!

 

[meowzer]
