50 and they donated how many? Lol
We bought 110 in august/2018, then 50 in June/2020, then in may/2021 they donated 300 kits, we gave away free about 270 of those at reefcurrents. The club also bought triton test kits at a group buy rate. Had ATI offered us a group rate we would have gotten some of those as well. We didn’t buy any of these test kits to make money for cody or the club. It was done to try to get a group price so you and the other members could benefit from the price break… your welcome by the way. We didn’t buy the tests to make money or to promote a specific product.
Cody has no incentive to push one brand over the other.
This came up after a conversation we had about if the tests are accurate or not and he volunteered to buy some kits and run a test.
If someone chooses to use one test over the other it in no way effects the club, there is no conspiracy here. We could not care less what test people want to buy, this was just to see if they are accurate or not.
Marsh is a non-profit and the board members volunteer their time for free and get nothing in return. As long as I’ve been on the board we have never once had a conversation about how to raise extra dollars for the club. Even reef currents is budgeted to try to break even. We manage what we have and give back to the members every chance we can all in the hopes of just breaking even.
This experiment has nothing to do with making money for cody or the club, it could have come back as not being accurate at all.
Buy whatever test kit you want or buy none at all… we don’t care.
