Like usual....................drum roll for the good guy:wink:

If the Group order is over $250 before shipping then I will take 10% off. And of course you will save on the shipping.

My final order is:

10 lbs Calcium
5 lbs Kalk
5 lbs Mg

Let's try to get this order done by the weekend so littlesilvermax can ship it next week through Greyhound to the Coquitlam station (if you want me to pick it up).

I have always had the best success and tracking w/ Canada Post.

I have had a perfect track record with them.:mrgreen:

Grey hound requires an extra 2 hours of my time.:cry:

The prices have always been about the same as well.

What does shipping come out to for an order this size? Approximately? I figured Greyhound would be fast & cost effective, whereas Canada Post would be either fast (expensive) or cost-effective (slow), but not both.

I am from Winnipeg, so it is a little distance.

Shipping will work out to about $1.10/lb with Canada Post.

It works out to about $1.25 per lb with greyhound.

With Canada Post it will get there within 5 days of me shipping it, likely there in 3. I have an account with them, it doesn't really give me a discount, but it expedites the parcels and gives me tracking numbers.

Ask Chin how long it took for him to get stuff from me.

Ok. I work at home so I should be home for the Canada Post delivery. I'll pm you my address & phone number when we have this order settled. I'm also in Burnaby, which is centrally located in the Greater Vancouver area. Since I've done several other group buys & most of those ordering have been to my place, I guess sending it here & I organizing distribution to the other local reefers makes the most sense (unless Vanreefer wants to).

If we close the order Sunday, can you (LSM) post what each person owes & so we can start paying for it to get it sent out sooner rather than later?

I will start totalling the orders tomorrow.

Because I may be moving in the future I would like to get rid of as many RO filters that I can.

Feel free to check out my Vendor forum for 10% off any of the filters I have, DI resin too!

ChemMaster Vendor Forum (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=67)

That means that a 5 micron pre-filter is only $2.25 taxes in!
Carbon filter is only $7.88 taxes in!
DI resin is only $8.06 per lb taxes in! (1 lb will do one re-fill, on a normal sized container)

I have about 400 filters on hand, so I would love to move 'em out!

vanreefer
03-31-2008, 12:16 AM
I'll take 10 lbs of the DI resin since you've sweetened the deal even further...

I am happy to get rid of the filters to give me space.

FWIW my normal mark-up is around 35%, but on the filters and DI resin it is only 25%. -10% doesn't leave much left.

You can add 10 of the 5 micron filters.

So 10 lbs of kalk and 10 filters.

I knew this would get complicated.

I hope this is all right

Vanreefer:
5 cal - 10 DI $103.75 + 16.50 shipping = $120.25

Seahorse Fanatic:
5 kalk - 5 mag - 5 cal $53.50 + 11.00 shipping = $64.50

Tom R:
5 kalk - 15 mag - 15 cal - 2 carbons $107.75 + 41.80 shipping = $149.55

fkshiu:
10 mag - 5 cal $36.75 + 16.50 shipping = $53.25

pinhead:
5 kalk $13.75 + 5.50 shipping = $19.25

skylord:
10 kalk - 10 pre-filters $52.50 + 17.60 shipping = $70.10



I hope that is all correct, if not let me know. I entered it all in an excell file, so changing amounts doesn't really cause any problems.

I will pm you all my PayPal e-mail address, if it looks good send the money, if not I will adjust your order/correct a mistake and go from there.

Thanks.:mrgreen:

Actually, my Ca order is for 10 lbs.

Are the calculated prices including the 10% discount?

What taxes are being charged? Just GST I'm assuming.

Let me know the new corrected totals & I will paypal you mine & TomR's payment.

Thanks again.

Anthony

I forgot the 10% discount.:redface:

Don't pay just yet, I am re-totaling.



I knew I would get confused!

littlesilvermax
04-01-2008, 10:48 PM
Let's try it again:

Vanreefer:
5 cal - 10 DI + 16.50 shipping = $110.15

Seahorse Fanatic:
5 kalk - 5 mag - 10 cal + 11.00 shipping = $59.25

Tom R:
5 kalk - 15 mag - 15 cal - 2 carbons + 41.80 shipping = $138.96

fkshiu:
10 mag - 5 cal + 16.50 shipping = $49.65

pinhead:
5 kalk + 5.50 shipping = $17.90

skylord:
10 kalk - 10 pre-filters + 17.60 shipping = $64.90



All of these prices include the taxes



Please, each person should calculate their order and double check. I think I have it right this time.:biggrin:

10 lbs of DI @ 8.06 = 80.60
5 lbs of ca @ 2.85 = 14.25 = 94.85 plus 10 % off = 85.37 + 16.50 + 101.87

Is my math wrong?
LMK I'll pay today
Thanks

Let's see

5 lbs of cal @ $2.57/lb = $12.85
10 lbs of DI (my sheet had it at 8.08/lb.????) @ 8.06/lb = $80.60
shipping $16.50

Total = $109.95 so I was off by a few cents.

You are taking 10% off the DI price per lb, the $8.06/lb is the 10% price.



FWIW you were quoting off the first price list where I forgot to take off the 10%. I am 99.9% sure the $109.95 price is right.

This is what happens when I do math at work. FWIW I always double check everything when I am at home on paper.

Hi littlesilvermax

Do you have any suggestions on the quantities of Mag and Cal required to bring a 50G mix of Instant Ocean up to acceptable levels?

Hi littlesilvermax

Do you have any suggestions on the quantities of Mag and Cal required to bring a 50G mix of Instant Ocean up to acceptable levels?

Tom R


I haven't measured magnesium in 3 years. I use IO only.

I add about 250 ml to 40 gallons of IO made water, I do this prior to a water change. That increases the magnesium from about 1200 to about 1380, which is closer to NSW.

I then add about 8 teaspoons of calcium to the mix to bring IO's 350 ppm to about 430 ppm.

FWIW I always add the magnesium and calcium to the water BEFORE adding the salt.

I have been doing my monthly water changes like this (w/o measuring) for years now, and my mag, alk, cal are always very good. (I assume 1380 for magnesium, but I don't check anymore, 9, 430)

I usually check the test reports on RC and here regarding levels in IO salt, and it seems to be fairly consistent. I disregard the users that test one small batch, as it is not always mixed evenly through-out the pail. I go through about $15 of magnesium a year, and I save the $37 for a test kit.

Hope that helps.

For 50 gallons that would be 310 ml of magnesium and 10 tsp of calcium.

They seem to be bagged individually but I don't see tags on them to ID who gets what so we'll have to figure it out when you get here.
