I've finally given up the ghost and left the aquaria retail industry but
will be going into wholesale where my overheads are lower. I think that if
this trend continues in the long run, most LFSs will have a really hard
time.

Yep, that's the way I see it. So did you own the store?

Was just a minority share holder there. Sold off everything. Besides, the
main partner's priorities were all biased towards planted tanks. And yet he
roped me in knowing full well that I only do marine, and always try to
convert planted tank hobbyists to marine
