Hey Everybody

Couple people know about this, and i finally have a tentative date set, so time to see how many we can get in on this.

The wife and i are heading to Invermere for a week right after thanksgiving, then going to swing through vancouver with a little stop at J&L. We're looking at picking up the morning of oct 19th or 20th then dead heading back to edmonton. Depending on how much we get in on this, we either have a yukon to fill, or a 3/4 ton truck.

So, anybody that needs live rock, buckets of salt, or bags of substrate, anything thats too heavy to ship, nows the time to go for it.

Lets see how low we can get the price on rock down to.

we'll have the date set for the stay in invermere tomorrow, then ill contact J&L and see when they're getting anymore rock in and we can start putting holds on it.

have fun everybody

Josh

Hi Josh,

Would you be able to get 2x160G buckets of I/O salt for me? Thanks.

Would be great if you could pick up one 160g bucket of I/O for me. If you want advance payment (I'd prefer if you did), please PM me.

Thanks!

ill call over and get a group order going under my name at J&L as soon as i can confirm our vacation spot morrow.

then anybody that wants anything can just call over, mention my name, give their list and pay for their part, then ill just haul it back. get receipts when i load and know who gets what at pickup. think this would be the easiest way

and for anybody thats curious, im located by the home depot/superstore on 127th street and 137th avenue

Hi,

How much live rock are you guys picking up? I may be interested in a small amount if the price goes down to $3.99/lb!

Thanks.

Have you called J&L yet to set up the group order? We have a few things we'd like to order :smile:

Thanks.

Be aware that the chance of J&L having 8+ boxes of rock in stock will be slim to none. Most of their large rock orders have always been "pre-order". And they do usually sell out. Check by phone before you make any large rock purchasing plans.

Just got off the phone with them

Anybody that wants in, give J&L a call, ask for Jeff, tell him your in on the order being picked up by Josh Edwards, give them your list, and they'll take down your info. They've got a note under my account so there shouldnt be any problems.

This includes everybody that has contacted me up to this point. Still need you to call J&L and give them your order yourselves. Just leave a note in the thread here so i know about how much im bringing back

if something should come up, feel free to call me or have J&L call me for any details, 780-953-5311.

Cutoff for Live Rock for this order im picking up is Monday, October 4th. So anybody wants anything you gotta call them and reserve/pay/whatever by then.

I'm in for about 160-200lbs of Fiji. I think Jess wanted about 60lbs. And i might need rubbermaids or coolers for hauling peoples rock back. Can keep the rock submerged and warm for the ride home and preserve some of that life on it, just dont want to soak the upholstry in the yukon if we're takin that one :eek:

And one last little note, our personal vacation to invermere is off. Aliens must have visited my house the last couple nights and got a few fish in the mood. Got a few spawns to look after now so we wont be disappearing for a week. 3 days to vancouver wont be a problem, got a brother to come and change water :biggrin:

this means the date is a little more flexible, maybe do pickup on the 22nd so everybody has friday night/saturday free to come and grab their stuff.

Hows this for everybody?

09-25-2004, 05:29 AM
Hi Josh, I'm still interested in 50 or 60 lbs. I'll phone J&L tomorrow and let them know. Let me know if you want me to get some rubbermaids for you, I'm going to wal-mart tomorrow to get some anyway so it wouldn't be a problem at all.

-Jess

09-25-2004, 07:17 AM
Sounds Good :biggrin:

Keep in mind for anybody ordering rock, we're not really limited to ordering "by the box". Can order 50lbs or 80lbs and not go by multiples of 65 since its all being lumped together for weight at pickup.

Prices are...
0-65lbs = 4.59lb
66-130lbs = 4.39lb
131-325lbs = 4.19lb
326-455lbs = 4.09lb
456+lbs = 3.99lb

So far everybody has us at 285lbs (325 if i up mine to 200). 1lb short of 4.09lb, no reason we cant get it down to that 3.99 :mrgreen:

Newguy, how much you in for :evil:

mr_alberta
09-25-2004, 02:00 PM
Hi,

Sorry I haven't called JL yet. I'm still asking around to see if anyone wants anything and I'll get it all under my name. I think I'm down for at least 65lbs of Fiji rock (1 box) and a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks for doing all the leg work Josh. Kudos to you! :biggrin:

jess128
09-25-2004, 03:56 PM
I just got off the phone with J&L, I'm down for 60lbs fiji. Jeff seemed kind of surprised, he said "oh, you want ANOTHER 60lbs?" The price must have dropped some more, I got 60lbs for only $220. Thanks for doing this Josh, it's really great.

mr_alberta
09-25-2004, 11:31 PM
Just called and placed my order as well:

65lbs Fiji (1 box)
2x160G pails IO salt

Just got off the phone with Jeff

Jess, your 60lbs are going to end up at whatever our total weight puts us at per lb. He didnt know why the computer priced out $220 for a box, but as it stands we're all sitting 1lb short of 4.09lb

John & Harvey, got it, no problem bringing that back.

Lets keep the rock comin, only about 150lbs short of 3.99 :mrgreen:

Tell your friends about it, 9 more days til the cutoff

PS, still lots of room in the truck

jess128
09-26-2004, 12:01 AM
Jeff just called me. He said my total will be $280 something. I'm a little confused about how things got messed up, he said something about the computer setting it to the sale price. I trust he knows what he's doing though. Hopefully the price gets a little lower, my mother will freak if she finds out this is costing me quite a bit more than $200! I don't have a problem with paying it though...

How many pounds are we sitting at now?

BlkWolfe

still 325 so right on the edge of 4.09

few people might be waiting to see the october special before they come in

I added a few (very few) pounds last night to the order.

BlkWolfe
10-01-2004, 05:59 AM
hmmm...

could always come back through calgary...

make a stop there for the night and unload some rock. see if we could get that extra bit to put us over 450lbs

any calgarians reading this thread interested?

EmilyB
10-01-2004, 06:03 AM
I could probably do some...check with AJ_77 he was looking. Maybe you should post in the Calgary forum. If we can make it worthwhile you coming thru here.

When would you be showing up in Calgary if you decide on this route?

BlkWolfe
10-01-2004, 06:53 AM
i might be pushing back the trip by a week, just to allow some of our fry to grow out a bit more and move them to the big tanks before we disappear for a few days.

anybody have a problem with pickups in calgary the evening of the 30th and pickups in edmonton the afternoon of the 31st? or calgary on the 29th and edmonton on the 30th?

and a question for the more experienced reefers...how would the life on the live rock stand up to these colder temps in a truck bed? the order is getting big enough that we're lookin at taking the big truck and hauling the rock in the open bed.

PS...i need to clear up a couple things before we commit to the extra rock/detour through calgary. hopefully ill know by tomorrow

thanks everybody

mr_alberta
10-01-2004, 01:44 PM
Cold temp + live rock = base rock....

Ya , but dont foget about the rock when they fly it out from the lsalsnds in the winter it goes thur customs and all the wait and the flying time in canada
will be supper cool under the plane.

BlkWolfe
10-01-2004, 08:43 PM
Ran this by Jeff we both thought this would be the way to go...

Ive got alot of insulation leftover from insulating tanks and racks, got measurements of the rock boxes, so i think im going to end up just making an insulated casing for all the rock boxes in the bed of the truck. That plus heat packs should give us a couple days of warmth

enough people have commited i dont want to cancel this because of the cold

Also, pickup has been moved to the morning of the 29th/30th. depending if friday night or saturday night is a better day for the folks in calgary to meet up with me somewhere and pickup the rock and anything else. We'll overnight in calgary then come into edmonton the afternoon the following day

With the date being moved back, cutoff for LR orders has been lifted. So we're free to keep adding rock orders for another week at least, until Jeff calls me and says no more.

off to the calgary forum

EmilyB
10-01-2004, 08:49 PM
It can be -20 by Oct 30. A couple days and you'll have iceberg rock. :eek:

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?

Dez
10-02-2004, 04:57 AM
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?

jess128
10-02-2004, 05:21 AM
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.

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:

:multi:

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:

BlkWolfe
10-02-2004, 07:37 PM
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

EmilyB
10-03-2004, 12:07 AM

bulletsworld
10-03-2004, 04:33 AM
Never mind...I totally forgot you are getting a few buckets of salt and aragonite as well. Then for sure the savings from not shipping would be a bundle?

I just mentioned the gas chip in, as a hint, hint, everyone should chip in regardless and not take advantage of someone’s kind heart. Or maybe that’s just me. But it is something to consider since gas does cost money and is a long trip for you, although I know you do want to take the trip. Sorry don’t want to damper on anyone plans. Consideration comes first.

So I'm tagging along still... :mrgreen:

Hi,

So what is the official pick up date?

BlkWolfe
10-03-2004, 09:15 PM
Looking like pickup from J&L the morning of the 29th or 30th, dropoff in calgary that night, then unloading in edmonton the following day

nobody seems to have a preference for a friday or saturday pickup in calgary, or a sat or sunday pickup in edmonton

so...if anybody does let me know otherwise we'll just be deciding a few days before

BlkWolfe
10-03-2004, 09:17 PM
And we are now adding Frozen PE Mysis to the order to be picked up in calgary during our layover

infor can be found here under RossB's posting ...http://www.canreef.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11726&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

so anyone that wants mysis, contact ross with what you want, then let me know in this thread. ill pay him at pickup, and then you owe me :cool:

jess128
10-04-2004, 12:57 AM
So pick up in edmonton on the 31st? Is there a preferred time of day?

BlkWolfe
10-04-2004, 02:14 AM
most likely ill be back in edmonton by noon or 1pm. Once we arrive ill be unloading my portion and catching up on tank maintenance i passed off while we were gone

so, anytime from 1pm that afternoon til midnight would be fine for me. well, most nights im up til 4am so pretty much anytime :)

10-04-2004, 08:25 AM
If anybody has a J&L box leftover from a previous rock order...could i please get outer dimensions of length/width/height, an exact measurment would be great

Would like to get started on the rock box for the truck this coming weekend

jess128
10-05-2004, 12:49 AM
Do you just want J&L boxes, or would some rubbermaids do the trick as well? If you want some rubbermaids let me know and I can bring some over to your place.

BlkWolfe
10-05-2004, 04:09 AM
after a little discussion with the guys at J&L, they said just to worry about keeping it moist (which is why they throw in the moist towels on top). can always throw in a little extra water in the boxes if somebody wants

im going to make up an insulated casing for say...8 or 9 of their rock boxes. throw it in the bed then throw the boxes in the casing. J&L can put heat packs in with the rock, and then we can use either a 12v car warmer or a bunch of my heat packs surrounding the rock boxes. air the casing out every stop or two to keep the oxygen levels up for the packs. should keep everything warm

needed the dimensions on the rock boxes J&L ships with so i know how big to make the inner dimensions of the casing. wont be anything fancy, just ply outside and insulation inside

Just be using their standard shipping boxes for this, so wont be needing the rubbermaids for this trip

BlkWolfe
10-05-2004, 10:16 PM
K heres the list i got from J&L

Edmonton:
Josh - 2 x 160g IO, 8 bags sugar size aragamax, 160lbs figi
Jessica - 60lbs figi
Harvey Wong - 65lbs figi, 2x 160g IO CHECKED
Chris Greggors - 2 x Sediment Filters
Paul Switzeny - 1 x 160g IO, 10lbs figi, maxi jet 600
John Chan - Corlife gloves, 2 x 160g IO, 3 x 12" optimal reflectors

Calgary:
Bob Ipema - 1 x 200g kent salt CHECKED
Deb Hadford - 65lbs figi, 2 x 200g kent salt, 1 x aragamax select CHECKED
Ed Miller - 25lbs figi, 2 x 200g kent salt CHECKED

This is the list that J&L currently has, so if somethings wrong or missing you need to contact them and then contact me. and i apologize if i spelt anyones name wrong

also if i got somebodies location wrong, ie your in edmonton and i got you on the calgary list, just point in our in your respective forum so i can fix up my list.

and finally, can i please get a pm from everybody thats in, with your contact info, name, number, screen name on here if its different than your name etc. and PM it to me

we're one box short of hitting our 3.99lb. and ive got room for 2 more boxes in the truck

10-08-2004, 07:40 PM

jess128
10-09-2004, 06:01 AM
I think that box you bought brought up down to $4.09 from $4.19. Any chance of us getting down to $3.99?

BlkWolfe
10-09-2004, 08:04 AM
ill be calling jeff tomorrow to get our total weight on the rock

by my last count, we should be right at the 3.99 thanks to emilyb's addition :mrgreen:

took delivery of the new truck today, crew cab is a pretty decent size. all the rock will be able to fit in the back seat so no ****ing around with a box in the bed. Heat int he cab will keep everything warm for the trip

it also leaves the entire bed free, so anyone else that wants sand and salt, or wants to add to existing orders, we're still good for some more

nice when things start to come together

jess128
10-09-2004, 08:10 PM
So will the rock be kept in some water, or just dry but warm?

EmilyB
10-09-2004, 08:24 PM
The rock doesn't need to be kept in water, just moist.

I spoke with Jeff myself and he says you have met your quota. In fact, was over with my second box, so I'm just taking what it needs to make the mark.

BlkWolfe
10-10-2004, 06:31 AM
Thank you EmilyB :mrgreen:

and thanks to everybody that came in. we maxed out the order and are going to be filling the cab quite completely with LR for the trip back

we're still open for more salt/sand and big/heavy drygoods thatll fit in the bed. so if itll fit it can come back

hey harvey

was going to reply earlier today but i didnt have time

id prefer to just keep this shipment with the heavy and large items that are expensive to ship. anything that could be included during a "free shipping over $200" order wasnt meant to be included with this one

anything else your including is 99% likely its going to end up in the bed with the salt pails. and they're too short to tie up satisfactorily. if i happen to run into the seemingly ample supply of less than stellar drivers and have to break/swerve the pails could shift or have the bottoms slide out from under the straps and provide you with more pieces than your order started out with

regardless ill be tying up everything as well as possible. if your still up for it coming back in the bed, then by all means

just giving you warning

Josh

10-12-2004, 11:45 PM
Just got off with J&L

I dont know who over there is doing their math. we're sitting at 400lbs even, which means we're still at 4.09. Dont know who the he...ck would say we hit 3.99. then again i missed it too....

and to top it off they want the 8th box full before they'll drop it. which means we're approx 120lbs short

im going to throw something up on the vancouver forum, see if somebody just wants to grab a couple discounted boxes from the back of the truck when we get done with J&L, hell ill even deliver around Burnaby

sorry about this everybody, looks like we're not done yet

Quinn
10-12-2004, 11:48 PM
Ten cents on 120 lbs... why not just eat the $12.

These group orders tend to collapse under their own weight eventually... I would seal the deal.

10-14-2004, 05:43 AM
K i havent heard anybody objecting to the extra 10 cents a pound...

for pickups...ill be stopping in calgary the night of saturday october 30th to unload that portion of the order. Depending on time i may just continue on and return in the wee hours sunday morning. So anybody in edmonton can come and pickup their orders either between 2am-5am (if anybody else is a nightowl like me) or after Noon on sunday

Everything is still going ahead

and...i need Keith (Fishsticks?) to contact me please. Need to hear from you before i leave otherwise its staying on the dock

This is the list i have directly from J&L. once again, any discrepancies or problems, call me or pm me and ill make the changes

J&L also contacted me this morning. There seems to be a snafu with their primary figi supplier, and getting permission to bring the rock in. If their primary source cannot come through, Jeff has assured me they have a secondary supplier that can have the rock for our order in its entirity at J&L on November 1st, a monday.

Now this brings up a question for pickups. however, this may be more dependant on the calgary orders since we wont be arriving there until a late hour, and i dont want people running around with rock late at night when they gotta be up at work or with kids at 6am.

Everybody involved for the Edmonton pickups, is there anybody with a problem moving the trip back by 1 week, and me coming back in on a sat/sun instead of monday/tuesday. Meaning pickups in edmonton will now be either 2am-5am or noon to midnight on sunday, November 7th.

Ok...here it goes...

The order and pickup dates are now final

The original supplier has come through, so the rock will be arriving at J&L on the 29th, we will be picking it up the morning of saturday oct 30th

Calgary pickups will be outta BMWRiders garage after approx 8-9pm on Oct 30th.

Edmonton Pickups will be at my place anytime after Noon on sunday October 31st

Please contact your respective pickup points for address and directions :)

For anyone picking up rock, you will need to bring your own containers with you for taking it home.

We are also going to need either a home weight scale or anything else for weighing out everybodies order, at both the Edmonton & Calgary drops, since all the rock is coming back with about 100-120lbs per container.

any questions, as always, call me at 780-953-5311

see everybody in a week

Just got a call from Josh. He's pick up all the rock and salt! :cool:

Everything should be going according to plan, however, he was apparently suppose to pick up some lights for someone (at Big Al's) but the person he was suppose to meet never showed up, so he won't be able to bring those back :sad: I don't know who these were for, so if you have any questions/concerns, it would be best to call Josh on his cell 780-953-5311.

Also, he needs someone to bring a scale to his house to weigh the rock.

That's all for now! Again, if you have placed an order with him, please message me so I can give you his home address.

One final update:

I just spoke to Josh, he's leaving Vancouver right now (12:30PM AB time), so he should be in Calgary at about 9 or so?

A note:

I believe someone either in Calgary or Edmonton, has ordered 2 Maxi-Jet 400, but they only had one available. As a result, Josh will bring one back with him today and JL's will ship the other to you free of charge.

If you have any questions/concerns, please call Josh on his cell.

Also, for all those that have ordered and need directions to Josh's house, please PM me and I will give you directions. Thanks.

Just a reminder to everyone to pick up their stuff today and to set your clock back 1 hour!

Here are the directions to his house:
If your coming from south edmonton, take either the Yellowhead or 137th ave to 127th street. Continue north until Cumberland Road (142 ave), there will be a 7/11 on the left side of the road. Turn left at the lights to go west. Once your on that road its second left and second left. The house is then on your right about half way down the block. 14128 - 134 street. Theres a half buried blue camaro in the driveway.
