The demand for Tropic Marin Pro-Reef (and All-For-Reef) has risen exponentially in recent months. We are doing everything we can to increase numbers. We do have salt coming into the country on a regular basis. But it does seem that as soon as a new shipment hits, it is sold out in the distributors and the retail vendors. The COVID-19 situation has not influenced the flow of Tropic Marin products from Europe to any great extent. Although there have been one or two temporary slow downs. We have not seen any consistent delays in shipping due to it.
Tropic Marin is always ultimately committed to the quality and consistency of our products. This means that, even with increased manufacturing capacity, we can only ramp up our supply at a certain pace. Please be assured that we are very sensitive to the demand outpacing our supply at the moment. And we are working , every day, to correct the situation and make more product available here in the US.
My best suggestions to aquarists looking for these products, is to keep in close contact with your Tropic Marin vendor, so that when they get new stock in, you are at the ready to get what you need before they are sold out again.
We hope our constant efforts in this matter will bring a quick resolve to this current supply and demand inequality.
