I don't know, maybe it's a good business model, we'll see how the cookie crumbles.

Saskatchewan may very well be different. But here in Edmonton more and more hobbiest are going online due to massive increases in prices in Edmonton.
The difference in a lfs in Edmonton compared to a online or lfs(online) in Ontario can be 250%.


I've seen lfs here raise prices 25% days before a sale, raise prices due to decrease in sales and to cover lost livestock.
While I understand the dollar has a big effect on rising prices. The few examples were prior to the collapsing dollar. Lfs here are literally pushing people to shop online

That's crazy! Not here, nor at any of the shops I visited while in Ontario, nor BC.

I know hey!!

Lots of group buys happening lately. Though I would also be willing to bet that prices will be directed buy the population of hobbiest

I read some reviews online and have decided to give Aquaforest Phosphate minus a try. It supposedly looks and performs similar to Rowaphos, but is less than half the price. I'll let everyone know how it goes! Only about $30 on Amazon for 1 L, vs. $68 for Rowaphos for the same amount.

For those of you who either tried out the AF or switched complete, what are your thoughts?

Also, where do you buy AF Amino Mix and AF Build in Canada? I can't see them on Amazon.ca

I only use the salt and one thing that is of extreme convenience is that I don't have to plan a day ahead to mix the water. Whenever I feel like changing water, I mix the salt for 15mins and all ready for the tank.
