You know those digitals you can get for about $6-$9 online? Check how much this place is selling them for, lol.

That's about what my lfs sells them for. Shocking isn't it. It's also $49 for a Visi Therm Stealth 150W heater around here too.

That is robbery. I guess if no one checks around they will order it at that price.

my lfs sells cascade and whisper power filters for about a 60 bucks for a small one that'll take care of a 20g tank....

 

[severum mama]

that's insane. Even Petsmart here sells those for under 10 bucks! And don't you love how they say that the list price is $29.99, like they're giving you a deal!

Big Al's really opened my eyes when getting back into this hobby. I had been pricing around and was discouraged at the amount of money I'd have to spend to get a nice 20gallons setup, and then I came across this site mentioned on AA. I was shocked (and angered) that those other stores were gouging people so badly.

What upset me even worse was how around the holiday's the prices suddenly went up in-store, while the store's website kept the same price (or went down to compete).

Those CL digi thermometers are great btw. I don't keep them on and just check my temps once a week at ~5pm to make sure the weather isn't requiring a tank temp change.

I used to use one to perfectly match temps during my 50% weekly PWC, but found out my hand gets within 0.5 degrees and is much faster then the thermometers!

Exactly....

Yeah, I use that exact model, and I think I paid $7 in the LFS. Great little device, but that's robbery.
