      Exclamation Dr Foster and smith is closing their website.

      Petco just announced that they will be shutting down Dr. Foster and Smith website. Petco bought out DFS not that long ago, and have now decided to close the doors to their facility, and lay-off 279 employees. This won’t effect live aquaria, but DFS will be gone in the next 120 days.


      Maybe this is why Peck who had that huge sale on Tropic marin salt? Maybe they are getting a jumpstart on clearing out the DFS facility.

      Yeah, super crazy!

      Petco said something along the lines of them wanting to focus more on their core, and core customers. Essentially saying, they only care about the petco name

      Wow that's a real shame!

      I was bummed when Petco bought them out as Drs F&S has been my go to for other animal needs long before I was even reefing but I was somewhat ok learning (at the time) they were going to keep everything as it was...I'm not too surprised to hear this, just extremely disappointed ='/
