I wonder if its cost effective.

I have been buying from One Way Pet and having it shipped to my house.  Doesnt get easier than that and it arrives in a couple days.  All for the same price as local... actually, usually cheaper.  Factor in gas and my time, definitely cheaper.

I think oyer sells it for $50, but you would need to verify.

That's where I get it from when I buy in bulk also. Haven't ever had a problem with the company.

If you're asking about quantities greater than the 5lb buckets, I don't believe NLS sells to anyone that way.  The last I heard, wholesale cost per bucket was around  $35.  I've seen it on sale at the OCA Extravaganza for $40-45 depending on the type you're buying.

Now that some of my fish are growing and getting some size to them in my 140 gallon tank... I am a little surprised how fast I can go through the containers of NLS.

Would be nice to by it by the coffee can or gallon jug size.  Even though I would probably have a heart attack at the price.   ;D

I am with you on this.  I go through size #2 and #3 all the time now.  I try to supplement flake food a couple of days a week as well.

I feed flake every day first... then top off with some NLS.  That way its not as bad as all NLS.
