bulk reef supply

[dark8nge1]

Anyone interested in doing a BRS group order? Everyone makes their orders seperately and all orders get shipped directly to you. You also get a discount on most items. We have to have at least 10 people to get it going.

[allan]

I was scouting them last night. I'm in, I can be your Number Two.

Count me in.

Yes.

I would.

Good idea, sure.

Ooh oh, yes me!

Okay.

Yeppers.

[Big_Pun]

I was just going to post this today, I did the last group order. I'm in! if you have any questions on how to do it let me know. it's easy just need at least 10 people. prices are very good for group orders for anyone wondering.

[dark8nge1]

Stangchris - thanks for the offer. I'll let you know if I run into any problems. 7 more and we're good to go.

[jrnannery]

Is there a dertain dollar amount overall, or on each single order that we need to meet?

[Big_Pun]

Is there a dertain dollar amount overall, or on each single order that we need to meet?

no min dollar amount on total order or individual, orders usually start on a tues and you have till mon to place your order. also you need to make sure you have a BRS account setup

[BSJF]

I can help out. I got in on the last one too. Good prices on the group buy, and you can continue to get a discount in the future, but not as good as under a group buy.

[ReefCube]

i am interested in 1 gallon of GFO

[BSJF]

Oops, I meant to say I could help out.

[allan]

So, dark angel, you need five more?

[Europhyllia]

How do the group buy discounts differ from the preferred customer discounts

[BSJF]

You get a bit more of a discount. Depending on what you get it can be a lot or a little.

[jrnannery]

So, do we have ten yet? LMK

[Gseclipse02]

im in

[allan]

By my count we have seven, karin will be eight if she jumps in.

I notice that their gfo is out of stock though. Doesn't matter much as I need bulbs anyway.

[Europhyllia]

Okay if there is no minimum I am sure I can find something. Count me in as number 8
I've been wanting some of those rubber coated magnets anyway :)

[delrio]

I can be number 9

[TaknByD]

How much of a discount would we get? The wife loves a good sale... ;)

[Big_Pun]

the lowest price I believe, so you don't have to order in bulk to get discount. if you look at prices some stuff has bulk price. also for those of you interested send your name and email(associated with BRS account) to dark8nge1 so he can start the list to send over to BRS. hey who's in charge of this order lol.

[jrnannery]

Also, can we get one reply going that shows what everyone is ordering? I may be interested in magnets, too, if I know we can get a better price on them.

[ReefCube]

I am interested wondering how much of a discount /free shipping?

[BSJF]

My info has been sent to him. Please send PM when we are ready so I don't miss it.

[allan]

I've sent darkangel my email addy.

[Europhyllia]

I sent my last name and email as well

[BSJF]

Wow, anyone looking for an IceCap retrofit lighting kit or ballast - they are on clearance right now at BRS for like 1/2 price.

[Europhyllia]

Also, can we get one reply going that shows what everyone is ordering?

I am looking at these items:
mesh screen (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/clear-1-4-screen-netting-7-x-3.html)
magnets (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/rubber-coated-replacement-magnet-for-n52-mag-rack-oceans-wonders.html)
Salifert Test Kits (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/products/test-kits/salifert-aquarium-test-kits)
glue (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/brs-extra-thick-gel-super-glue-20-gram-tube.html)
GFO Pellets (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/2-pounds-half-gallon-bulk-gfo-pellets-ferric-oxide.html)
Calcium Chloride (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/1-gallon-bulk-calcium-chloride-for-aquariums.html)

[BSJF]

Why do you need to know what everyone is ordering?

BTW Karin, I have 1/4" black mesh screen if you want some for free. I might try their clear stuff sometime though.

[Europhyllia]

So he can know what he wants/needs ;)

I am not saying I am ordering all that stuff. It's just in my considering stage.

Thanks for the offer Lorraine but I really like the light friendly clear mesh. Makes me feel like it impedes light penetration less.

[allan]

I'm looking at 400 watt 15k MH bulb and the GFO pellets... In the out of stock size. And a small pump for my reactor.

[Big_Pun]

ok not to step on any toes but has anyone heard back from dark8nge1. the paper work needs to be sent today to start the order tue. I sent over my info.


I'm looking at a bunch of ro/di filters, maybe some koralia 1400's and t5 lights.

[allan]

I haven't heard from him. And it seems we are one short as well. If he backs out we will be two short.

What time today?

[allan]

Btw, do you still want the canopy?

[dark8nge1]

Get guys. Sorry I was on a plane so I could reply. If everyone could sent me their email that they registered with I will send in the paperwork. I know some already have so only those that have not sent it to me slready

[Big_Pun]

Get guys. Sorry I was on a plane so I could reply. If everyone could sent me their email that they registered with I will send in the paperwork. I know some already have so only those that have not sent it to me slready

thank you for putting this together

[dark8nge1]

FYI only 4 people have sent me their info thus far. If I don't get 5 more by today I will set the date for next ties if that is ok with everyone

[dark8nge1]

Ok here is who I got emails for so far:
Stangchris
Europhyllia
BSJF
Allan

I have PMs out for emails for:
Jrnannery
Reefcube
Gseclipse02
Delrio

If everyone sends mr the email we are still one short. So if you know anyone that wants to jump in have them send me their email.

[ReefCube]

email sent!

[dark8nge1]

We're still three emails short guys. I think this might have to wait for next week. If I get the three in before the end of the night I'll still send the form in but I don't if we already passed the deadline for this week. I'll post if we hit 10 tonight

[ReefCube]

im not in a rush so it does not matter to me. Let me know

[BSJF]

me neither, next wk is fine.

[Big_Pun]

no rush here

[Gseclipse02]

pmed you my email

[allan]

Hey,

A buddy of mine will be signing up with BRS today... or maybe tomorrow... but he will be our 10th so we should be good for next week.

[dark8nge1]

Going have to be next week guys but we're still missing 3

[dark8nge1]

Sorry 2 more

[Jolly]

Hi there, I have never bought by bulk nor do I have an account. My e-mail is trainmaster73@satx.rr.com. I see that you had to wait till this next week to place your orders, perhaps I can jump in and set up an account with them in time. thanks , jolly ps just saw on bulkreef that someone might get some reward points for referring me. so since dark8ngel is doing this, if you give me your e-mail I will say you referred me.

[dark8nge1]

Jolly- I pm'd you my info.

One more and we're set to go guys

[Joe31]

Im in... I need some new t5s lights

[Big_Pun]

Im in... I need some new t5s lights

joe with the save

[samd]

I am the one Allan mentioned above. I sent you a PM.

[allan]

So,

The form gets sent in and we begin ordering our stuff on Tuesday?

Shipping and handling is still applicable?

[dark8nge1]

I'll send the form in tonight. We should all get an email tues saying we can all start ordering. Just use you account when you order and you will get the discount.

[Big_Pun]

I'll send the form in tonight. We should all get an email tues saying we can all start ordering. Just use you account when you order and you will get the discount.

when you log in your status will say group order somewhere by your name if you dont contact them right away, but this wont take into effect till the group order starts. yes you pay yor own shipping and handling.

[allan]

Reckon they will let us combine our orders to one ship address to save cash? Scot and I live about 8 houses apart.

[BSJF]

If you do, it will only count as one person. If you order separately, even to the same house, it will ship in two shipments.

[Big_Pun]

Reckon they will let us combine our orders to one ship address to save cash? Scot and I live about 8 houses apart.
i believe when you order your account becomes prefered customer, which gives a discount on most items next time you order(doesnt have to be group order)

[BSJF]

The discount you receive on the group order is more than the preferred customer is.

[markgsa]

Is it too late to get in on this?

[dark8nge1]

Register and send me your email and last name. I'll send and email and see if they can add you.

[markgsa]

Thanks for the reply dark8nge1, I'll just wait till next time.

[Europhyllia]

I bet they would be happy to add you! :)

[dark8nge1]

Yeah, nothing has started so I don't know why they would say no.

[jrnannery]

I'm so excited...I love group orders
!!

[allan]

Yeah, I've got my order already lined up and my right index finger is already poised and decisive action will be taken once confirmation is received.

Better hurry... my finger is cramping. :)

[BSJF]

Must be getting something exciting, spill the beans.

[allan]

Who me? :)

I don't think I am, but I am going to start up a phosban reactor so I've got the granules inbound, and then I think I may even do the bio pellets as well... but I've got to get a reactor for that as well.

And I'm getting a new bulb for my MH. Going 14k-15k, can't wait to fill up my tank with overgrown SPS. :D

...and I have to get a pump to run the reactor.

[BSJF]

amazing how one purchase leads to another.

[Europhyllia]

Not kidding. We should get special tax breaks since we are so efficient at reviving the economy!

[BSJF]

I'm with you on that one karin.

[allan]

Hey, if not for stimulating the economy certainly for home improvement.

Karin, since you work at home I would imagine that your aquarium is a business write off. I mean, how can you possibly hope to entertain potential business associates without office like decorations?

[Europhyllia]

I hadn't thought of it. That would be great though. Especially my new LED office lighting...

[delrio]

Are we set for Tuesday my wish list is hot and ready. Also is it me or is bulk reef supply the slowest website ever ?

[allan]

i've not had a problem with their website. Looking forward to this purchase as well. What I really like is that they ship out the same day that you order. I believe we begin ordering tomorrow morning though. Definitely not until they issue you the 'go ahead'.

[Europhyllia]

What I like about it is that they send lightweight items via First Class Mail so if all you need is a few pieces of loc line you pay $2.50 for shipping, not the flat rate $9 a lot of places charge for anything even little stuff like an o-ring!

[allan]

I order big stuff :D

[SoLiD]

count me in... I will see what I'd like from them.

[SoLiD]

am i too late?

[allan]

first thing is do you have an account with them?

[SoLiD]

ok account set up with this email address davidvllrrl -at- yahoo -dot- com .... who needs the info. I have some stuff in my wish list already...

[allan]

I haven't received an email from brs, did this fall through or does it take a minute for brs to send out the notification?

[BSJF]

Must be patient. 4:50 am is a bit early for them to be sending e-mails to you :)

[Europhyllia]

well maybe they have to wake up, get dressed, shovel their way out of the house, go to the office, hit the send button, etc. That sort of thing?

[BSJF]

At least wake up and send.

[allan]

Well, you know I can get a bit excited, and as you've already pointed out I am just an over grown kid... and this is kind of like a christmas.

But, it is already 0712hrs. Let me check my email. :)

[delrio]

Haha its glad to know I'm not the only one logging into my brs account at 4am... Hey karin I finally got that 75 you sold me up and running

[Europhyllia]

I've been waiting for pics delrio! :)

Their site says they open at 9AM. And they're in MN. Brrr... (doesn't really affect their opening time. I just thought I'll throw that in there ;) )

[delrio]

I know I need to get some as a matter of fact I need to update my profile I have stuff from god knows when. I will send you a picture when I get a chance my tank isn't thread ready yet :)

[BSJF]

I hope Allen doesn't buy everything that I want and they end up out of stock by the time I get to order.

[allan]

Tick Tock, Tickety Tock

Lorraine, Lorraine.... Lorraine, of course I would not order everything and leave nothing for you. I have, however, a cart full that they are already sending me threatening emails over. :)

[allan]

I haven't heard anything. Did the form get submitted?

[Europhyllia]

Okay it's starting to dampen my excitement as well now. If we didn't get on the list this week I'll send you some reef supply stuff and you can send me some and we can still do the whole 'got something for the aquarium in the mail' thing...

[Big_Pun]

aww booo!!! no email from BRS, im sitting here looking at my list. well if this doesnt happen today im sending my order, so count me off for next week.

[allan]

Hey, if we call them up will they work with us on a last minute basis to get an order in effective immediately?

[Big_Pun]

Allan is trying to get info on starting a new order so if you want to send him or i your email info and first and last name we will try and get this going

[allan]

I think we can do this, I'm waiting on a reply from them now.

[allan]

hey guys, I need your email address right now so I can fill out this form and get it in. They have given us the opportunity for a late submittal.

Please hurry!

[allan]

I have a total of nine folks, just need one more person to get this off the ground

[allan]

bump

Just need one more willing member to sign up for the BRS group order.

[BSJF]

MEMEMEME PM REPLIED TO

[BSJF]

Yeah! I got my e-mail!!!!!!

[Europhyllia]

Nice. 20% off GFO, Calc,Mag and Alk powders :)

[BSJF]

Well, there goes the food budget.

[allan]

Thanks to a couple last minute folks coming in in the eleventh hour we got it off the ground.

I had my email before I got to the house.

And the discount is NICE!

[jrnannery]

So, what now?

[Gseclipse02]

wait for the shimpment :)

thanks agian allan

[SoLiD]

Did this fall through?

[allan]

Okay, short story. Yes it fell through.

Long story. When we discovered that this dark dude had dropped the ball we went to BRS to see if we could put in the form late and go for the group buy.

Since only dark had your information we started getting everyones information. By COB I had 12 folks and put in the form. One of those 12 was added after I submitted the form.

So if you have not received your email explaining the process send me your information today and I will send it to Jon and we will see if we can get you added.

They've been very accommodating.

[SoLiD]

Thanks Allan. I just got their email a couple. Of hours ago. I got it from here. Thanks again.

[Europhyllia]

Guys, don't forget to get yourself some GLUE!

The glue has good reviews on other sites and at $5.40 (our discounted price) for 20g it's really a good deal considering LocTite at HD runs around $4.70 for 10g.
You can always use more glue...

[BSJF]

It is great glue, I should have gotten another bottle. The tip doesn't clog either.

[allan]

shoot... I didn't even look at their glue. But I did get a couple of those floats for my ATO set up. No more turning on and off switches. I can finally just watch the tank... wow, that sounds boring. :)

[ReefCube]

I just placed my order. Thanks for setting this up.

[samd]

Just received my order confirmation. Thanks your setting up the buy.

[allan]

No worries guys, it wasn't a hassle or anything and dark had managed to get you all on the same thread.

[Europhyllia]

Got my stuff today. That glue is awesome and plentyful. It glues fast and and strong even my upside down corals and heavy oysters.
Rearranged some stuff in the tank like it even better now.
Worked out great. Thanks for making it happen!

[Gseclipse02]

i left a Voice mail for them a week ago today and have yet to get a returned phone call

[BSJF]

They didn't ever respond to mine call either a while ago asking about when they expected something back in stock. I guess they are too busy shipping things out quickly. Did you have a problem with your order or just need to know something?

[allan]

I got my stuff sometime last week, or maybe the week before. Everything came in good shape. I did go in with Chris on the glue and that stuff is awesome. Now I fear I'm using it too much.

I'd not call were I you... their email response is stellar.

[Gseclipse02]

kind of ....a part i got in 3/4 only fits 1/2 inch so im trying to see what they want me to do

[Big_Pun]

I did 2 orders and both came in fine. i ordered a couple new t5 bulbs and they shipped it separately in a heavy duty tube, bulbs wrapped in bubble wrap tight. I appreciate how fast they ship

[falcondob]

Is it too late to place an order on this buy?
