Aquaforest is shooting themselves in the foot then. The only Aquaforest sales you vendors are going to get is from people that don't know they can get it cheaper on Amazon.ca and/or people that are willing to pay more to support to support you.

I'm wondering from a business perspective, why would you want to promote a product that will always run the "risk" of someone discovering it on Amazon.ca and ditching out on you? Why not promote similar products like Fauna Marin, Zeovit, or Tropic Marin where all vendors are on an even playing field because those salts are not available for a stupid low price on Amazon.ca?? From a business perspective it makes more sense to promote products that you can a) get a good margin on, b) be competitive.

For these reasons, I think Aquaforest is shooting themselves in the foot by not ending the relationship with Amazon.ca (and Amazon.com) and relying Canadian (and US) reef distributors instead. You don't see other brands doing this - like Tunze, Ecotech, Apex, etc. I'm interested to see how it pans out in the next couple years for Aquaforest. However, I'd much rather support our Canadian retailers than Amazon.

But Amazon's ecommerce platform is closing, supposedly in July 2016. They've been transitioning to Shopify, which if I understand it, works entirely differently. Anyone know if this is still happening? Here is one of the articles about it:

Anyone know of any Canadian source for probio f or np pro? Amazon.ca doesn't have np pro and they have listed the probio f as unsure if it will be restocked... Got everything else I need from Amazon.
Cheers

I just picked up 2 bottles of the NP Pro as well as component strong from salty supply and got it delivered to my PO BOX across the line. They do however also ship to Canada.

Wondering how long it will be until we see a Canadian distributor...
