Group Buys

Well I was just talking with Techno-Vicki. We think that a group buy is a great thing to do. With the Distirbuters & manufactures that I deal with group buys are easily accomplished even drop shipping to you.

So hear it is. What would you like to see in a group buy. Lets see what everyone is looking for & we will do our part to make it happen.

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: Group Buys

Well since it's time to replace my MH bulbs (2 x 250w double ended HQI), I think that might make a nice group purchase. This time I think I am going to try 20k bulbs, I have 14K XM bulbs now, but I they seem to have lost a good deal of their "blue" spectrum. Any suggestions?

Re: Group Buys

As bulbs life is spent the color dpth does fade away.


These are some great Ideas I think we should keep this thread on the first page for about a week & then see what we are looking @ I will speak with all of my Diastributers & Manufactures today @ some point. I will see if I can get them to give me a discount just on $ spent not just a bulk buy on a single item. What does everyone think about that?

Just for everyones Information the New Votecs are available next week

I like the feed back we are getting. The heavier items LR & Salt would be easier to ship to a generalized location for distribution by a fellow member. Where there is a will I will find the way
