Marco Rocks Group buy

[LarryW]

hey guys I am going to order about 140# of base rock from marco rocks. right now it looks like 100# of Fiji base, and 40# of Tonga shelf. If we do a group buy and order 200# then we can get 10% off shipping, if we can get 300# then we get 10% off shipping, and 10% off the rock total. So is anyone interested? I will set a close date of Next wednesday by noon. The way this will work is, let me know what you want, I will contact them to setup the GB, and then you will contact them to pay for your portion.

here is a link to their prices, and products.

Yes! I was going to order next week. Ill go in with you. 100# of base for sure and maybe even some tonga shelf. Ill chat with you at the meet. Thanks Larry!!

 

[LarryW]

ok cool. I will give them a call, and let him know we have about 250# so far.

 

[Deuce67]

Actually, Im gonna go with 125# of base and 25# of shelf so thats 150#.

 

[LarryW]

ok, Sweet.

 

[Deuce67]

So do we need someone to order 10 more lbs?

 

[LarryW]

yeah, but I have someone looking for 15#, so I think we will hit the 300# minimum for the 10% discount. worst case I will just order another 10#.

 

[LarryW]

ok, so right now this is what we have

Me
100# of Fiji Base ~ 2 50# boxes
40# of Tonga shelf ~ 1 15# box, and 1 25# box

Deuce
125# of Fiji base ~ 2 50# boxes and a 25# box
25# of Tonga shelf ~ 1 25# box

JinxXx0085
15# of Fiji Base ~ pulled from at least a 25# box, We will order 50# and split 3 ways as of right now, with 25 going to Deuce, 15 to Jinx, and 10 to me if we need to.


5 50# boxes of Fiji
2 25# boxes of Tonga Shelf
1 15# box of Tonga Shelf


That puts us over the 300# mark, and gives us the 10% on the rock and the 10% on the shipping.

LMK i need 20lbs if no one get's the 15lbs

 

[LarryW]

Lin, you can take the extra 10, from the 50# box, and we can order an additional 25# give you 10 to give you 20 total. I will take the extra 15 for now until someone else needs it. you want Fiji base and not tonga shelf right?

Sound good?

 

[lfduty]

That good if thats what you want to do

 

[LarryW]

yeah that's fine with me.


Did you want the fiji base or the tonga shelf?

 

[lfduty]

it dont matter to me its going in my 50 hex

 

[LarryW]

ok. Fiji it is.

 

[Deuce67]

So, is all the rock gonna be shipped at your place and we will just pick it up over there? That would be cool, I dont think i live too far from you and I can check out the 120 in progress!

 

[LarryW]

yeah, it will be shipped ti my house, ad you can pick it up. we only live 10 min from each other. I have a digital scale so we can pick out 20# for lin, and 15# for jinx from a 50# box.

 

[JinxXx0085]

Wow, it looks like that everything is moving along smoothly!
I'll be looking for the PM from you, Larry, regarding costs :rollface:

 

[reefkoi]

I'm pretty set on rock but I'm curious is this rock dead? shipped dry? it all looks white so thats what i'm assuming?
Chris

 

[LarryW]

Chris, it's all dry base rock. I plan on making my structures outside the tank and placing them in once ready. The tonga shelf pieces will go on top and I plan on drilling holes for frag plugs.

here is a pic of the shelf

 

[Deuce67]

Yah, its all dead dry rock. I have no problem with it. Thats how I started the current 90. 100# of dead dry base rock (not Marco though) and about 20# of seeded live. The advantages of this is no hitchhikers and since its dry, its about 1 1/2 time lighter. So a 100#s of dry fiji will be equivalent to 150# (or more) of live fiji.
