Errr, well, MSRP on that stuff IS more than $30. IO's insane sell-at-a-loss price structure is a result of a loss leader gone out of control, lol. Valley stores aren't crooks, they just aren't necessarily subscribing to the "f--- it" sales strategy that the larger mainland stores can afford.

It still does not justify those out here taking advantage of local hobbyists. And if I can help a fellow reefer save a few dollars im in every time.

There are a couple shops. The one local shop here "dabbles" in salt. Their coral selection is 90% leathers stuffed into a couple shallow 40 gals and a few 20. Gallon tanks of low maintenance low end fish. Although they did think it was a good idea to try selling some Moorish Idols not too long ago. The same ones who want $60 for a 5 gal pail of instant ocean.
I have nothing against supporting local business. In fact I wish I could, but I work way too hard for my money to stomache paying that much for a pail if salt when 5 mins from my shop I can get same for $29
