Frozen Food...1lb Brine shrimp $6. ORDER IS HERE!

[Bill S]

OK folks, it's time for my semi-annual frozen food purchase from Drs. Foster & Smith.

I'll probably buy $100-150 worth. Shipping is a fixed $19.99. And, since we will meet the mix/match discounts, the price is reduced further.

Here's the catch. PLEASE, only jump in here if you are buying a bunch. It really isn't worth your while to buy 1 lb of brine shrimp to save $3. I'm thinking $40 minimum unless you are a Charter Member. Then it's $25? Something like that.

I won't order until the Hikari Plankton is back in stock, which is due the 15th. MIGHT be able to make this work for the January Meeting, but not sure.

Hint: When you look at frozen foods to compare prices, be sure and click on the "more information" button. A product that's 86% moisture (Hikari brine shrimp) has almost twice as much in it as the 92% moisture (SF Brand brine shrimp).

Once we get everyone's input, I'll figure out what it will cost.

[BigKGlen]

Bill,
I'll take 5 of Brine and 5 of Plankton.

Thanks Bill

David

[Bill S]

I'll add you to the list, David.

BTW, the Hikari blood worms are a much better buy, as they are 89% moisture instead of 95% moisture like the SF Brand.

Also looks like the Cyclpeeze is out until January 15th as well. It's been hard to get in the past...

[Bill S]

Oh, and just checked the Marine Snow... 99.6% water!

[Bill S]

BTW, SOME of the requested items are NOT frozen food items. I'll see if I can put together a dry food order separately. But, please let's not jump in here ordering a bunch of dry goods.

[Darth-Tater]

Thanks Bill I have adjusted the order


David

[Bill S]

Both the Cyclopeze and Plankton are on backorder until the 14th... So, I'm still holding off.

BTW, our order is now over $700!!!

[Bill S]

Update: The dang plankton is now out another week (1/23). Everyone want to hold out for another week? LMK.

The SF brand has only 1/2 as much plankton (90% water instead of 79% water) and it's more expensive...

[hobogato]

im in no rush.

[tony]

bill if you dont mind one more tagging along i would appreciate this:

2 @ hikari brineshrimp flat - $12
2 @ hikari mysis flatpack - $16
1 @ deepfrozen cyclopeeze - $40

if im too late ill just catch the next order as i too am in no hurry

[Darth-Tater]

My fish are not going to starve waiting a while longer. They are just happy I am buying this much food. Beside by then I might get to order more. :bigsmile:

Thanks Bill


David

[Bill S]

Not a problem Tony, we haven't finalized the $$ yet. So, anyone else wanting to jump in, it'll be at least another week before we order.

[ismvel]

I think I am gonna jump in.

CD-13005 ... 16 oz flat pack Hikari Blood Worms (1) - $8.29
CD-18831 ... Deep Froze Cyclop-eeze (1) - $39.99

Thanks,
Ismael

[Bill S]

OK, folks, here's an update. The Cyclopeze is now in, but still waiting for the plankton. I'm thinking I can probably place an order on Friday or Monday.

Since our total is OVER $800, AND I don't really need that much money in my paypal account, please be prepared with cash or check when this comes in. Everyone knows I hate Group Orders, so please let's not make me regret doing this!

For shipping, I appropriated the $19.99 for frozen based on frozen order total, and then did the same for the $13.99 on the dry food.

Here are the totals. PLEASE review the spreadsheet. OTHERWISE, IT'S YOUR RISK THAT I ORDERED RIGHT AND CHARGED YOU RIGHT (I'm always right...).

P.S. If the quantity changes for whatever reason, I reserve the right to reapportion the shipping...

[tony]

add 1 hikari mysis to mine (for a total of two) and it will be accurate

thanks again for doing this

[Bill S]

Sorry, Tony. Added. I'll wait for other input, then re-post the totals.

[tony]

i can live with one too if you dont want to bother re-totalling everything, really

[Bill S]

Already done...

[Darth-Tater]

Bill I adjusted my order: Added Deep Froze Cyclop-eeze and dropp to 5 packs of cyclops.

David

[hobogato]

mine looks correct - thanks bill!

[erikharrison]

Bill if it's not too late I'll take 3x1lb mysis and 3x1lb bloodworms...

3x1LB Mysis (Hikari) @ 7.79ea = 23.37
3x1LB Bloodworms (Hikari) @ 7.99ea = 23.97

total= 47.34

I can pay you cash at the meeting. Let me know... :)

[Bill S]

AAARRRRGGGG! OK, here it is... THANKS ERIK :shades:

[erikharrison]

AAARRRRGGGG! OK, here it is... THANKS ERIK :shades:


Thanks Bill!!!!! you forgot a couple of faces....:bareteeth::at_wits_end::Timeout::angry:

[BIGBIRD123]

Ours looks fine, Bill

Steve

[BigKGlen]

My order is OK, I'll pay on Sunday.

[Bill S]

OK, bad news on the plankton. They JUST pushed it back to mid Feb. I don't think I can wait that long! Unless someone objects (BigKGlen, Ace, Mrs. BB), I'm going to change the order to twice as much SF brand plankton (it's in 4.75oz packs instead of 8 oz). As soon as I get the thumbs up from you 3, I'll place the order. Here's the current spreadsheet:

[BigKGlen]

Bill,
The revision is ok with me.

[Bill S]

OK, just waiting for Steve...

[Bill S]

Order placed this morning! I'll let you know when it's scheduled to ship/arrive.

[Bill S]

Received a confirmation that the frozen food order was shipped today, and will arrive by 3pm tomorrow. For those that also ordered dry food (marine snow, coral frenzy), it is supposed to arrive on Thursday. I have NO PROBLEM holding food until then - we have plenty of room in our freezer. At least I hope we do, it's FIVE boxes of frozen food!

[Bill S]

Order has arrived:

210.663.8079
bstreep@satx.rr.com
19414 Encino Summit, SA, 78259

No hurry, it's in the freezer.

[tony]

whoah, just saw this ill give you a ring most likely tomorrow night if thats cool

[Bill S]

Sorry. Already fed yours to my fish!

No big deal, I know some folks are waiting for the dry food to come in on Thursday.

Bill

[tony]

Sorry. Already fed yours to my fish!



that food would feed my tank for a year or yours for what? a week? lol

[Darth-Tater]

Bill, are you going to be around this weekend? I will swing by and PU. If not can it wait til Monday night?

David

[Bill S]

Yes, I'll be around all weekend - believe it or not! But Monday is also fine!

[erikharrison]

Bill, it was great talking to you! Let me know about some houses and if you have some contacts in those areas, it would be greatly appreciated. Your tank looks great! I really like the coloration of those bulbs too, it looks just right! :) Thanks again for putting this all together, I know we are all thankful!

[Bill S]

OK, folks, dry food is now in too! Come and get it! Actually... No hurry.

[BigKGlen]

Bill, Thanks for taking care of us on this bulk order!
Wonderful tank, and thanks for the extras!!

[Bill S]

You are more than welcome. I love visitors, and I always try and make sure they leave with SOMETHING from my tank!

[BIGBIRD123]
