That or you can support your local shop that hires local people in the community and pays them a decent wage. Or buy online and when you have a problem deal with shipping it back to the vendor and waiting for ever and paying shipping both ways. Most small lfs have to buy from a middle man(distributor) and pass the cost along to us. If they are a big enough fish store and order enough to by directly from the Vendor, the prices will of couse be less. You can make your choice of who to support... but my lfs brings me in lots of goods that I can't find anywhere else. I also trade in plants and fish for credit. I feel that more than offsets the added markup from the wholesaler to the lfs.
Cheers, Whitepine
