A LPS has a new section opened up devoted to fish. I went in to check it out. Nice selection of your average fish, special order "oddballs." Tons of hard goods.
I was excited because they sell XP's and their media. Figured I wouldn't have to mail order supplies anymore. Then I saw the prices...
$200 for XP3, $150 XP2, $112 XP1
$15 replacement carbon pouch (pack of 1)
$15 replacement foam
$15 three pack micro filtration pad
Truth be told I have no problem paying 10% to 20% (if I really need it) above net prices in a store just to "get it now", but those prices are insane! A Penguin Bio-Wheel is $60 ON SALE!
