Anybody wanna split a bucket of carbon from bulkreefsupply?

[fkshiu]

I'm thinking of ordering a 5 gallon bucket of the RoX carbon. From everything I've read it's basically a bulk form of Seachem Matrix.

One 5-gallon bucket of RoX is $135 + $29 (shipping/brokerage) = $164. That's about US$8.68/litre.

J&L sells 2 litres of Matrix for about $36 after taxes which is C$18/litre. So we're talking about 1/2 price (if my math is correct) assuming both dollars at par.

I'm not looking for a bigass group buy. Just a simple split with one or two others in the Lower Mainland.

Any takers?

I don't really need any carbon, but I was thinking of ordering deion. resin from there, maybe save a little on shipping?

Check the BC Interiors forum. We're placing an order, maybe you guys could hop on it too. I wouldn't mind repackaging your stuff and sending it on to you guys. I think we're placing our order in about a week.

FWIW - based on my experience with Canada Post shipping rates, it doesn't (or hardly) save money on shipping if you have to repack and reship unless you are dealing with extremely large portions.

I'd be into that. I would be in for 2 gallons

We could ship it to Point-to-point in point roberts and save even more in shipping

Just out of curiousity why ROX and not Lignite?
Is ROX twice as efficient as Lignite?
or does ROX last twice as long as lignite?
