    My LFS charges 50 cents per test, not for a full work up but per reagent that they use!!

    we do free tests, but if we didn't people wouldn't be in the hobby any more...

    "my fish died"

    "how is your water"

    "clear"

    "have you tested it?"

    "..."

    "we can test if for you"

    "how much"

    "insert amont here"

    "oh thats okay, i'll just take 14 fish home today, it will be fine"

    "..."

    some people are really good about understanding water chemisty others... well, they hurt my head

    When I worked at the pet store, when I asked about the water and they said it was clear I said "so is vodka but fish won't live in it" conversation over, water tested.
