It's a decent store, you'll make your crystals back plus some. The key is not to only run the 9 hour recepies, you need to mix in some 20 hour recipies to maximize efficiency. If a 9 hour recipie is going to complete 2 hours after you go to bed normally, run a 20 hour recipie so the store is not sitting idle for those hours you're sleeping. It's only a 2 hour different (2*9=18 or 1*20=20) so anytime you know you won't be able to collect in 9 - 11 hours run the 20 hour recipie.

So it does take some basic math and logic to run this store efficiently, but I figure when it's all said and done I'll have made at least 100 crystals on each store I have. Which I still consider a very good return.

I do agree with Digonto, the waterfall collection cycle is very nice, relatively easy to get 3 a day.
