Mass Order

Post by snoopdog »

Thinking of getting started on doing a mass order if I can get enough people interested and get the ball rolling. Anyone need anything or have any interest in this. I am not even set on a vendor yet so need input there. In the past had the best luck with FF express. I am talking livestock for me, just need to replace some stuff that has cacked over the year. I went to B&B today and god there stuff will never change. Most everything was a skeleton or horribly overpriced for the size. Orrrr.......we could go to P'Cola and pick up stuff but we may do better mail order and all split the shipping. Just a thought, lets get some feedback.

I'm sure I can find something I need or want from a group purchase. :? I might even be able to get a coral or two if I ever get my tank up :twisted:

Depending on when and if I can find enough used equipment I might be interested. Where are you thinking about ordering from? Does Marine Depot have livestock that you are interested in?

I could use some hardware for the 20. The only thing besides zoos i'm looking to add to my 7 is maybe some more xenia (i'll never learn :wink: ) or encrusting anthelia, but I don't see paying $25 a frag for the stuff.

I have wholesale accounts with some full line pet suppliers and SW only suppliers. I can get IO delivered to me for less than $40 for a 200 gallon bucket.....only problem is I have to have a $300 minimum order. This is the same supplier that B & B buys from....sells other supplies for birds, dogs,cats and small animals too.

I would love to do another order.....

Let me know!

How do you pick what you can order ? Got a web page with prices ?

Well, I have catalogues.....pricelists.....kinda just let me know what all kinda stuff you want and I will look it up for you. Pretty much, if B&B carries it I can get it. I also buy from a SW specialty wholesaler out in California.....they have the lighting, skimmers, etc.

Let me know!

Haven't seen any movement on this... just thought I would get this ball rolling again. I am planning on placing a livestock order from http://www.petsolutions.com wanted to see if anyone else was interested in getting in on this to help split up the shipping. It looks like the shipping will be $39.99 from looking at their web page. They are pretty limited in coral selection , but great fish selection.

I ordered what I needed a couple of weeks ago... I tried multiple times to get more people onboard with the order I made, but ohwell. The prices were stupid cheap, and the livestock all made it... I lost like 4 snails, and the other 150+ animals are still going at it, almost ALL my algea is long gone, nothing but coraline left.

I'm mostly just wanting fish. I'll worry about getting some more snails,crabs when I have more algae.
I want a purple tang, but the prices around here are high.. very high. It would pay for the shipping with this one fish for me.

So far what I want: Purple tang, leopard wrasse, blue linckia starfish, and haven't decided on what else.. maybe another royal gramma, or a blennie of some sort, I'll probably throw in some more stuff also, would like a hammer coral.
