DFS buy

I need salt in the next couple of weeks and plan to place an order with DFS early next week.  Anyone else want to go in on an order to DFS and split shipping costs?

 

Absolutely! I am in for a bucket of RC. I will have to think on whether I need anything else. I am always happy to place the order as well and folks can stop by the office to pick things up. You just beat my post by a day. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

Does anyone order from Big Al's?  I just placed an order with them earlier today.  Also, I found another site today that has some fantastic prices...I was able to get a $10 discount on my order (over 10% off) by having Big Al's price-match this site  http://www.aloha-aquariums.com.  I've never ordered with them as I always try to buy from Big Al's on Wednesdays to get the double reward points.  Yeah, I'm a victim to their marketing  ;-)

 

I order from Al's every once in a while but you can't beat DrF&S's shipping for salt that I can find. They don't charge extra for salt, they just charge their regular rate based on the dollar amount you buy.

 

That is a good deal on salt.  I'll keep that in mind next time I use it.  Since I only have a 12g, I figure it will probably be about 9-12 months.

Let me know when - I will get a bucket (maybe two) as well I am going through salt like crazy right now and want to change over to Reef Crystals.

 

I think this is what I need so far:

CD-517501 Maxi-Jet Powerhead/Pump Model 400 (106 gph) $11.99 x = $11.99
CD-967078 Florida Crushed Coral 40 lbs $28.99

CD-16882 Aquarium Systems Synthetic Sea Salt Reef Crystals 160 gallon mix $31.99
CD-29816 Nature's Ocean Reef Sand and Reef Substrate 16 lb Reef Substrate $24.99 x2 = $49.98
I may change this around a bit. I'm strill trying to figure out how many bags of sand I need for an 8inch bed.
Already have 2 southdown and 2 aragonite bags at home.
I also wouldn't mind a few filter socks. Can anyone recommend a type to buy from DRFS

 

Chris,
I will post a new thread for filter socks. The ones I get are very high quality for a low price. I think they are $10 at DFS.

 

Use coupon code 3658576 during checkout to save $10 Off an order of $100 or more at Drs. Foster & Smith.

I was thinking of placing the order early next week - lets say end of day on Tuesday.  Here's what I have so far:

               CD-29816 Nature's Ocean Reef Sand and Reef Substrate 16 lb Reef Substrate $24.99 x2 = $49.98
jtesdall:   1 160 gallon mix of Reef Crystals $31.99  - maybe something else ????

beckerj3:   1 bucket (169 gallon mix of Reef Crystals - $31.99

Joel and Brandon - if you could confirm that would be great.

 

Please remove me from the order - I had a change, I will keep my eye open for the next order and see if I can get in on that one.  Thanks

 

Jeanette, I will get:
CD-118775           Tetra Flake 7.06 oz       $10.19
CD-16882          Reef Crystals 160 gallon mix $31.99
CD-117535           H.O.T. Filter Sleeve 3 pk       $3.99
CD-908900           Magnum Filter Sleeve 3 pk       $7.99
Total = 54.16
Thanks Jeanette. Do you want us to pay before you make the order with Paypal? You should be able to put everything in online in Dr Fosters and Smith and calculate shipping (and save the order). Then we can pay you before you order. I always add about 5% to cover paypal fees, you shouldn't lose on the deal.
Thank you very much for organizing this. It can get to be a lot of work.

 

Joel, Can you add the following for me to the order;
2 RC buckets
10 CD-19328 pH 7.01 Calibration Packet
10 CD-19329 pH 10.01 Calibration Packet

When do I pay you Joel, are you placing this order?
Thanks
Cagri

 

If its ok ill take one Red Sea Coral Pro 175 bucket item #CD-34928 =$45.99 pm me your paypal info. Thanks Dave!

 

You will have to remove me from the order. Paypal locked my account for some security reason and I'm waiting to receive a letter from them so I can unlock my account. So I won't be able to PP you the money. I'll just order myself with a CC.

Thanks,
Chris

 

Chris, I am actually going to place the order. So if you want to drop by cash or check by tomorrow night at my office that would be fine.
I will put together this order to calculate shipping tonight. Everyone on the order please paypal me (plus 5% paypal fees or is it 3?) or drop payment by my office by tomorrow night. I will order tomorrow night.

Hey Joel - I did a cut&paste from my Word doc.  The post looked fine - but after submitted, all those '?' showed up.  They weren't intended to be there.

 

Jeanette, Do you have a phosphate reactor for that media?
Total shipping is $17.99 - I went ahead and calculated shipping based on how much we bought. Since it looks like the Paypal fees will be about $12 or more on this large of an order I would appreciate adding that in if you use paypal to pay me. No reason for anyone to lose money who does the order. The fees are different depending on how you pay, I have a Business account that comes up as Mid-Iowa Equine but the email is jtesdall@mapcon.com . I have no volume so the rate is 2.9% + .30 per transaction. The paypal chart is here:

You can also stop by my office to pay if you like. I will plan on ordering tomorrow night so payment is appreciated before then if possible.
Chris, coupon code had expired.

Thanks
