That is a LOT of refractometers! Probably easiest to buy from JL, their shipping rates are really cheap.

just giving people some options
I only bought one becuz it was so cheap.
I think JL is a great store. Their prices are hard to beat. The only bad thing about them is that there isn't one in edmonton.
They are probably definitely the way to go with a group order for people
3 people get one and bam..free shipping.

Edmonton could definately use one, I have thought about asking if they would be interested in a Franchise venture, but I would want others to start up with, share the risk. I don't think the pricing could be quite as good either, because of the extra shipping costs, but would be a heck of a lot better than any other store in Edmonton.

I have been to JL, it is a surprisingly small store, the tanks looked very well maintained, and their display tank with a tunze wavebox is amazing to watch the water flow, mimics tides very well.

Yeah I was kinda shocked when I went there also I was picturing something huge like Home Depot. I was also shocked going to King Ed's I didn't know you could pile so much into such a little place.

Yes, I'm the guy that brought it up at the meet and set Ed off. I'm sorry. I checked with my old boss to find out exactly how much the beast was, and it turns out it was the test end that was around 50 bucks. The body was about $400, but tha'ts because it has to survive a mechanic's TLC. I called J&L, and the gentleman I spoke with said that if there was a large order (10 or more) he should be able to do something about the per unit price. An order of 4, and shipping is covered. anyone? anyone?
