Last year Reef Builders published an article that touches on this subject. One paragraph illustrates this discussion well:
"One thing which is sure to change is not necessarily how Bulk Reef Supply does their various product reviews, but how ‘independent’ they are perceived by the public. It’s going to be much harder to take BRS’s messaging about various LED lights now that they own the SKY LED light, it’s going to be taken with a grain of salt when BRS has things to say about Sicce pumps now that they own the COR pump, so on and so forth with dosing pumps, auto top off kits, refugium lights etc."
Whether the change is immediate or gradual, it's sure to come.
I'm so glad I can DIY almost everything in the tank.
It is widely known that reef builders has bias towards Neptune.
