Hirocks group buy?

[rick051074]

Anyone interested in a Hirocks base rock group buy. They sell it by the ton (2240lbs.) for $1700 shipping included. Thats about $.75 a lb. With enough people its pretty cheap. You can check out the site at www.hirocks.com

I would be interested, if we can get enough people!
I bought some awile back and was pretty happy with it.
I could use a little more, and their rubble is great for frags.

Ok I figure it will take a while to get it organized so I figured I would start it now. If you know how much you are looking to get please post it as well,

I would hope to get 10-15 ppl involved.

 

[CH]

I probably am only looking for 40-50 pounds or so.

 

[rick051074]

Sounds good.

 

[nebraskareef]

I would want about 100 pounds.

Will they do less amount of rock and we can still get a decent deal?

 

[rick051074]

Not sure. I would want about 100 also. I am just going by thier listed deals.

 

[rick051074]

Are you guys still interested???
I emailed them yesterday and got an email back today. If we order 300lbs he will give 10% off. So we would be looking at $404 for 300lbs. Let me know.

I don't think I can right now, had some expenses come up, and we are going on vaction next week, so I will be short on extra money for awile!

 

[rick051074]

No problem. I may rethink what to do then. Thanks for letting me know.

Rick

 

[CH]

Just bringing this back up. I may be looking to get some more rock, and thought we could see if we could get a group buy organized again.
Rick, are you interested in heading this up again, since you started it, or have you already done something different?

 

[rick051074]

I would not be interested at the moment. Im in the process of moving. I will be down the road, but it would be 6months-1 year away. Sorry.

Rick

 

[CH]

No problem, I totally forgot that you were in the middle of moving and all that! All these threads tend to blur together over time!
Anyway, I just thought about ordering 30 or so pounds of rubble, and remembered this thread!

I will take 100 lbs if you do this just let me know.

 

[Fantasy Reefer]

You can put me down for 30-40 pounds.

 

[Willie41]

I could use 10lbs.

 

[abbalahdun]

i could use 25lbs or so

Looks like we have some interest going here. Just so everyone knows, this is dry base rock. It is great stuff, I have about 30lbs in my tank now. It's pretty white when you first put it in, but in 6 months or so, it dissapears (if you have good coraline growth)

Here's the website if you want to take a look.

I personally want to get the smaller pieces which range from golf ball to baseball, which are great for attaching frags, but I also wouldn't mind a few of the bigger nice pieces.
If everyone wants to let me know which type you are looking for, I can see what we can put together. Maybe we can get a couple of different boxes and do a mix and match.

Hey Chris, when you figure out how much you want email hirock1@adelphia.net (pretty sure thats the current email) he will usually give you a better price if you buy more than the normal 30-60lbs.
