Possible AI Group Order?

[mr_alberta]

So, apparently Ron at AI can do competitive pricing with JL's on salt (24 pails need to be ordered) and possibly on cleaning crews (see original thread, pg 2 for details: http://www.canreef.com/phpBB2/viewto...r=asc&start=15)

There seems to be some interest, but not nearly enough. So, if you are interested, please post up and maybe, just maybe we can get something going.

Also, does anyone know if Ron is on the board? There were/are a couple of guys from AI on the board, I just don't know who is who. So, AI guys, if you are out there, please post something to clarify exactly what we would need to do to qualify for a discount and exactly how much of a discount there could potentially be.

Ron is on the board... under Glampyre.
He is going to check with his suppliers and see what kind of discount he can offer.
On salt it should be comparable to JL pricing.

I'll pm Ron and ask him to post here when he knows pricing...

Id be in for 2 pails of Salt.

and

30 Snails or so.

I'm in for 100 trochus or margarita snails (or a combination of the two) if we can get a discount for volume buying. J&L sells 51+ snails for $1.65.

Would also go for 4 pails of Kent 200gal salt. J&L sells Kent salt at $49.95 per 200gal pails.

I'm in for a bucket of salt, a dozen snails, a cleaner shrimp, and maybe a couple of peppermints.

Wow Bev, you need salt already!

I'm down for 24 snails (Astrea, Margarita, Cerith combo) and 2 cleaner shrimp.

I'd be in for some snails,crabs, cleaner shrimp,and peppermint shrimp.
To me the price has to be worth it though.I don't expect J&L prices since I would have shipping to offset buying from there anyway,but a small % off the regular AI prices will not cut it for me.
I would also prefer to finalize this after Christmas too.

I'm NEVER out of salt Still have six pails left from the last order, but thought that I might as well order a few while the getting is good. I really don't understand how people only order one to two pails. Must be they do fewer water changes than we do, or have only one or two small tanks.

Its difficult to chew through salt pails when I only have a 30 gallon tank. I'm still only about halfway through my first salt pail

I forgot to mention, I want mostly astrea snails and a few ceriths.

No you don't want Margarita snails, as they just die. Trochus snails are great in a BB tank. That is what I have in mine.
