Have you ever wondered the differences between organic and non organic foods? Does it make you feel better to eat organic foods? Does paying a higher price for organic food make you healthier?

A lot of those discussion points above relate to hobbyists now paying for premium grade additives for their corals. It’s a classic marketing techniques to consumers. In turn, the retailer has a higher margin while the consumers feels better about their purchases. Win...win, right?

No. The consumer must push back asking for purchasing options. Retailers can offer both options. A premium and a lower premium additive option for the particular consumer. We can argue the benefits to the animals until we turn blue..similar to organic foods! Again, Push back on these retailers for purchasing options! Don’t let the retailer shove the premium organic banana in front of my nose and say it’s the best option for my health.

My two cents.

Thanks
 
I normally dont buy from fish stores online or local. I look for deals on chemicals where i can find the best price. As long as it's food grade I am ok. Dont care for premium.
