Mini Group buy Interest?

So I was turned on to this website by another more nano posting board regarding reefs. I thought I would gage interest in a group buy to get free shipping. I hate to pay shipping as I am cheep. But don't tell my wife I finally admitted it! I have a friend who reciently got a 12gal nano and he is in need of a few clean up critters. We were gonna buy just a few and split the shipping but then I thought I would ask if there is any interest from you guys. I wasnt intending to buy for a few weeks and was not getting a huge amount of stuff but thought if anyone was interested I'd gage interest. I wan't to get about 30 certh snails but if there are 5 others that want to split the certh special pack of 500 for 75 bucks each of us could get 100 for just over $15. They offer free shipping at $100 and free express mail at $150. They will individually package per our requests but we will have to figure out a way to do pickup as I doubt everyone wants to come to the boro. Anyway just seeing who would be interested right now so if you are and know how much you would be likley to spend in a couple weeks let me know so I can see If we would even make free shipping.

I was just talking about needing a clean up crew. Was hoping for a larger order though like the last one that got put together. Can't think if the name if the web site we dis ut on but get a good deal :-)
 
it was reeftopia but I thought their cerths were a bit much in price and was wanting to get the little ones. I am sure I don't have the time to organize a big group buy, but would participate if someone else wanted to run one.
 
John at reefcleaners is a great guy. I've made a few orders from there and have been very happy.
 
WHat about packages? Seems reeftopis is less expensive in a package, plus theri prices per unit on group are alot less it seems. Will Reefclenaers do that too?

Last time we had a great price with reeftopia.
 
I might be interested. Although I doubt I would 100 cerinths for my 5.5 gal tank....plus my 7 year old has made me promise to get some of "the snails with the snorkles" again (i.e. narissus (sp?) snails).
I'll keep an eye on the tread and see what evolves. I should be done cycling the tank in about a week.
Cheers,
Tom
 
I'd be interested in the cerith snails. I had a bunch at one point from just a few from Steve. When I had a lot of problems years back, they all disappeared. So I'm don't mind getting some more. They populated like mad in my tank at one point. I would take a 100
 
Reefcleaners is cool. We did an order with them once. I think it turned out fine. However, I don't think they can touch Reeftopia's prices, though. I am in need of snails, but I also cannot lead one up.

For those of you that want group pricing, but can't order the lots, one thing to keep in mind is that reeftopia gives everyone the same price, no matter how many or few that you order. :)

So if you just want 5, if there is someone else who wants 95, then you get the same price as the person ordering 95. Its all about the end totals. :)

The problem is they don't have the small cerith snails at this price, plus I have not been happy with their last few orders I got from them. All died in a very short period of time.
 
Ahh... I see, Michael. I've not had any problems at all the last few orders, other than one or two peppermint shrimp casualties, but those are expected.

I was so sure all my peppermints were dead until I see one popping out of no where. I put two in each tank. I found one in the smaller tank. I know one died for sure. In the bigger tank I saw both at one point but have not seen them in a very long time. They hide a lot! They've grown so much and I didn't even know they were still alive until I saw them. lol.... All I'm adding are snails right now until the upgrade....:D
 
I too habe had nmop issues with reeftopia. ANd the pricing is better. I am in ned of some stuff, and when I get the 220 uip will need a whole package. At reefcleaners prices I will ahve to pass, but if we do a reeftopia order people can jump on the bandwagon and save $$$>

For those who don;t know me, when I make an order it's usually big. :D Up to you guys though...I still ahve yet to have anyone answer me about the package pricing at reefcleaners, so I can only assume they cannot touch reeftopia, ehom I am very pleased withs, pricing.

No I don't drink. Just dog tired but can't sleep.

Bummer, sorry to hear man. I e-mailed John at reefcleaners to see about package pricing.
