SOLD OUT : Group buy 27 gallon Cardiff Aquariums only $149
 

Hey Guys :

It looks like Current USA is looking to get rid of a bunch of 27 gallon Cardiff Aquariums offering them for a really great price of just $149 for the tank, stand and filtration system — only caveat is, you need buy eight. The details of this deal appears to be geared towards retail stores but the pricing is something that can’t be ignored. If getting eight is too much stock to have on hand, purchase four and get it for $179 each.

The limited time deal might not last long and also includes your choice of black, espresso, cherry or blond stand. Every Cardiff Aquarium come ready to use and according to the company’s website includes:

Intake venturi protein skimmer
Surface-skimming overflow
Built in freshwater top-off system
Biological, mechanical and chemical filtration
Dedicated heater section with constant level water flow
Flexible return nozzle with dual outlets
Removable beveled glass top

If any one interested in lower mainland we could have them ship to point robert, thats a great deal :)

this should probably be moved to the hardware forum...
but wow, this is an amazing deal!
i got mine a couple of years ago, and i'll tell you, they retailed for much much more than that group buy price!

Oh Sorry, could some one with privilege move it to the Hardware forum please?

Where are these actually located? I will get one if getting it to Victoria isn't too much of a hassle.

They are in USA ,and minimum purchase for $149 is 8 unit.

Are you planing a group buy if so I would be willing to buy one if once they came in it could get shipped to edmonton maybe even two depending on shipping price to edmonton

Yes , but I need at least 8 confirmed unit.

And if not some of us in Alberta should get together and pick a group deal up

Damn thats a great deal, no mention of lights, wonder how much room there is to add lights to it. An Alberta deal was mentioned, I might be interested if something like that happens.

How much is shipping and duty? If price is around $175 final ( before HST); I might be interested....
Betcha you can order 8 and sell the rest on craigslist or something.
I assume no lights? - see http://reefbuilders.com/2011/10/10/c...n-led-padlite/

msjboy.

I'm in for that price. Has any one seen one close up. Are they good quailty. I'm in Calgary. Wow hst, gst, pst . You guys in Bc are really getting screwed .

We wont pay HST, we buy with US address in point robert and pick them up from there with no tax or duty.

I think you will be on the hook for both taxes and possibly duty if it was made outside the US.

My understanding is that anything above $75 (your daily limit to bring back) is taxable. Also on things that are made outside the US, you are responsible to pay Duty as well.

Just my 2 cents.

If that's the case let me know how much the total is going to be and then I will deci:wink:de.

I heard the limit is 500$, I bought a light fixture for $160, and I showed the receipt to the border officer and he said OK.I did not pay a cent tax or duty.

if we ask them to send us separate bills ,it should be OK.

Does this price include shipping? If so all drop shipped tone location? or can each unit be shipped to our home address? What about brokerage and duty?

I'm very interested but need to know some facts

I AM IN

I am in if it's $149USD-$175USD Maximum total....;

you are gonna need a truck or van to pick them all up! Guess it will be most efficient if you brought them all to one central location ( eg. someones garage ) and then have the individual person come pick it up. Do we give you the money upfront?


msjboy

If they ship to canada ,we should pay HST and the shipping cost will be much higher.

I am not sure how much would be the shipping to US, but I guess if we buy 8 x $145 the shipping to US should be free.

we could ask the detail once we have enough people.

And I am not selling the tank :) I am just like you interested because it a really good deal.

I am not sure if I could pick them all from US border ! everyone has to pick up its own tank if we buy. this way we are not breaking the import limit. thats the point.

A co-worker of mine may be interested (I'm trying to convert him to the darkside). He was asking if it is possible to store stuff under the stand. Does anyone know if the stand opens up to store stuff and how it opens?

Irene likes it so I guess I'm in for one. Pick up in Point Roberts.
