What to wait for to get local

[sdt11]

Hi, I am new to the hobby. During these times I am trying to order most of my equipment where I can. I purchased a 170 gallon tank, then reality hit and I can’t go out to look or get my hands on stuff. So my question is what should I wait and get at my LFS or just order everything online.

An example is salt. I looked at it may times at the store but never looked price, as I was getting freshwater supplies. So I see online it is X with “free” shipping.

just get everything on BRS. Free shipping and you get points for everything. I mean livestock I would get at a LFS but dry goods all online. You can spray the box before bringing it into the house if you're worried

You can start online. Most things like plumbing and dry goods are avail. However its easier to make 50 trips to the home depot than wait for PVC parts you forgot to order. Maybe your LFS is doing take out?
