The industry giants finally buckled under the pressure and ceased their price fixing schemes. We forced these bullies to back down and let independent shops compete on their own terms. Stay alert because we will keep watching them to ensure these illegal tactics do not return.

The big wholesalers are still manipulating prices because they think we are too divided to fight back. We need to hit the two hundred fifty mark right now to prove that our hobby is not a playground for their corporate greed.

The price of salt and corals is getting out of control. I want to support my local fish store but its hard when they are forced to overcharge me.
Ridiculous. I have seen the same tank equipment marked up 30% more in one shop compared to another just down the road and they told me they had no choice. Let the market be free.
Total scam. We pay enough for shipping and electricity as it is without these big guys squeezing the small shops dry. Stop the bullying.
So obvious what is happening behind the scenes. If a shop wants to run a sale they should be allowed to run a sale without losing their supplier.
Finally someone said it. Getting sick of paying premium prices for gear that isn't worth half what they charge. Greedy wholesalers need to stop.

TRUTH. The big brands think they own the hobby.
