I was thinking about purchasing from here if you want to split an order.

All 16 oz products it says, So if we do a 16 OZ combo pack then get one free. Each are $40, we need to order $80 to get free shipping. So , if we order 2 combo packs at $40 each, then get 2 free ( get 4 combo packs) , for a total of $80 ( free shipping), then split it up?? Sounds like we have 3 people ( Acer, Drone, and Loui) - that would be hard to split up evenly. Need a fourth person to make this easy. If we get a fourth then it would be $20 each and each get a combo pack that normally sells for $40 plus shipping.
Edit- well it would NOT let me even do that on the website. So it must be for one Bogo only. Reduces the first 16 OZ combo pack to $20, allows me to get 2 at that price. Totaling $40 - and shipping is $15 for 2 day air.

Do you need greenwater? I don't think the combo pack is the best move unless you're thinking about culturing phytoplankton.
The pods should be able to survive and multiply in our refugiums but the phytoplankton part doesn't last long in our tanks.
I would be more interested in the pod startup cultures for $25 per 16 oz. If we could get 4 for $50 plus $15 for shipping. I would take two portions for $33 if 1 portion each for $16 is good for you and loui.

I am OK with just getting pods as well I was trying to get the best deal , but again - I don't think I can get more than 2 on any given item for the BOGO coupon - as they just decrease the price by 50% on the first 2. So in order to get 4 we would have to pay full price on the next 2. So for just pods= first 2 (16 oz bottles) for 12.50 each, then 2 more at $25 each = $75 plus $15 shipping = $90.
or we could do 3 pods only ( $16. 66 each) and 2 combo's ( $20 each) for $89.98 and since we are over the $80 mark the shipping is free. So we end up with 5 portions of 16 oz pods, and 2 portions of the phyto - nutrient product. A bit of a nightmare to figure out costs and portions to each person ( even if it is 2 or 3 people).

OK - so if we went with option 2 = 3 pods only and 2 combos for about $90.
Drone= 3 x 16 oz. pods only = $50 or 2 pods only for $34
Loui = one combo = $20
Acer = one combo= $20 and possibly and addition pod only $16.66
Drone - let me know if you want to have 2 or 3 pod portions - doesn't matter to me.
Pick up at my place in Gibsonia ( Loui - I may be able to meet you at Elmer's- depends on which day,etc. )
Is that agreeable for all?

looks good to me I am a little confused with 20.00 being my total, figured it would be 40.00. Just making sure.
I live about 5 minutes from elmers, so when ever you are in the area should work. let me know if that will work, maybe we can meet somewhere else. no big deal if it sits at your place for a little while.
