No, I just wondered if that happened, then what ?

I've got it ! Take both vehicles... :lol:

haha the gasser will burn more in gas than we're spending on rock :P

besides....its in the middle of being traded in for a newer diesel now anyway. supposed to be taking delivery within two weeks.

ill find a way to make this work. i dont want to cancel this because its getting cool. we need the rock for our setup and everybody else has put their bit in as well

can always borrow a topper for the truck and at least keep the rock boxes covered and outta the wind. soon as the new truck comes in im gonna put together that 6" thick insulated box for it in the bed and see how it holds heat overnight or on a trip out to tofield. also no reason we cant keep replenishing warm water every 4-6 hours. thats only one stop before calgary, and we're only doing this trip once

im going to hit canadian tire tomorrow and see if i can grab a couple 12v car heaters and just throw them in the big container with the rock. Should keep everything toasty if i can find what im looking for

everybody still up for this?

Or, here's another option that may be feasable. Des will part out his 180 gallon and sell all of his rock for five bucks a pound.

I have close to 400 pounds of rock, remember, this is tax included, no gst, no cold, no die off, fully seasoned and active for the last 2 years, no aiptasia, no mantis shrimp etc....

what do you think about this option?

I think we should stick to the original plan. Shipping in water is not an option, eh? Pick up on the 29/30 is fine for me, I'll come by the 30th though, I'm in school on the 29th. Hopefully this still goes through, I don't really see what the problem is... the insulation should work.

Just that part sold me already! :mrgreen:

Hey damn I bought when it was at 6 bucks! :lol: Although it wasn't outta your 180gal. The people hear broke you down to sell did them. Beautiful 180gal too. Does that mean corals will be up for sale in that tank too! :eek:

For purchasing rock and not needing alot more, I might just go this route (Des) as you can pick the pieces of rock you want & take it home the same day. With J&L order you never know what size pieces you'll get and although it may be a $1.00 or so cheaper, its like purchasing for something you never know what you get. Also with gas prices out there. Its quite the trip to go just for rock haul and who is going to be stiffed with the gas bill in the end, unless you chip in. Then how much do you save?

Just IMO though.

:mrgreen:

Heh, nobody is getting stuck with the fuel bill. This was a trip the wife and i had been wanting to take, as a vacation and to get supplies for our tank. For all i care as long as you pay for your portion of the order to J&L before pickup all you gotta do is come and grab it off the truck.

course i wouldnt turn down 10 bucks to the fuel fund, or maybe a frag :cool: but i am in no way expecting something from everyone for this.

an extra 1000lbs of stuff on top of ours is hardly going to be noticed, for loading or for mileage

Dez, i had thought about some of your rock before, but i need a few buckets of salt and about 350lbs of aragonite as well. Between the shipping for the rock, 10 bucks difference per bag of aragonite, and whatever per pail, this saves us more than what diesel will cost for the trip

:confused:
