Dr. Foster and Smith website and warehouse to close...

[Jarad]

After Petco purchased them, they now plan to shutter the store and website. Supposedly Live Aquaria will remain. Not sure what to say about that. Anyway, FYI.

Looks like they moved a lot of their dry goods to the live Aquaria site so maybe it's not to bad.

I've ordered from them many times because their minimum order amount for free shipping is only $19. Glad to hear they have moved a lot of the dry goods to Live Aquaria though.

I hope we can still get the deals on LA salt.

I thought the same thing, as I'm switching to LA salt given what I was getting with IO. Since it remains "alive" let's hope so.

What deals on salt are you talking about? I didn't know this.

They were offering like 20% off, with free shipping, and discounted to like $40 already. So all told you paid like 35 with tax for 205lbs of salt.

I just ordered a bucket. Is the sale a sign that they're trying to unload it or does it go on sale regularly? For the price I thought I'd give it a try.

 

[Jarad]

That's a good question. Not sure if they plan on keeping it, but the price discounts does read as an unload. Hope not, as it's had good reviews.

Pretty sure its 205 gallon yield not 205lbs...

It’s pretty close to Fritz RPM. Been using it for a few months and my SPO have never looked better.
