Big Als carries Super skimmers and they will match prices with JL Aquatics. Just print off the Item from jlaquatics.com and bring it in to big als. I did this for a super skimmer and my coralife PC's. That way you dont have to wait. Ohh almost forgot.... You have to spend over $200 or Big als with charge you the eqivalent shipping you would have to pay at JL (jlaquatics has free shipping on dry goods over when you spend $200).

Default Big Al's

Why not support J&L, their normal pricing kicks Big Al's? By forcing Big Al's to price match we take away our support from a supplier that gives us better pricing constantly.

I agree with the statement completely and admire your loyalty. You shop like I do. However it is the customer that is the deciding factor in pricing. If enough people demand that their pricing reflect going market value, a responsible retailer will adapt accordingly. Or we could hope anyways.

I have no credit card to shop at jl with...so it makes life difficult. Plus i can not always be around at the right times to recieve livestock etc by courier, whereas local shops i go when i can...i have a busy life..i certainly can't fit it around my fish unfortunatly.
