Default Rock/Sand/Salt Order

Hey everybody

anybody that hasnt been following in the Edmonton forum, we're making a run out to calgary for a load of LR to set up a new reef

We're about 120lbs short of hitting Figi for 3.99lb. Im up for picking up LR, substrates, and salt buckets and making a pit stop in calgary to help load up on some more rock and drop the price down as low as we can get it

info is here...

http://www.canreef.com/phpBB2/viewto...?p=92988#92988

so anybody from cowtown that wants in on this, please read the thread over in the edmonton forum, follow the instructions, and if your ordering just leave me a post in THIS thread so i can keep track of what im bringing back to calgary

Thanks

If there is enough interest generated for you to come through Calgary, I'll order a box of rock (and 2 salts if there is room). It may just cause you more grief than just sticking to your Edmonton order if the weather is bad.

You could maybe throw the rock in my garage (heated) if you are overnighting in Calgary to keep it warm.

Your garage?? Heck, I've got some room in my TANK...

A bucket of IO for $40 would be good! That LR travel / cold thing makes me a bit nervous...

im still working on how to keep it warm

i can fit an insulated box in my bed for probably 9-12 boxes of rock. Insulation on all sides can be 6" thick easy. J&L can put heat packs inside the boxes. I can always throw water bottles or ziplocks full of warm/hot water in between the boxes that can be refilled whenever we stop for diesel if need be, depends how much heat it bleeds

if anybody has any ideas im all ears

i just hope i havent ****ed off enough of the gods to hit -20 on halloween :P

Calgary isnt really too far outta the way for us. Not too much extra travel time over taking the Kokahala. Be a chance to meet some of the reefers in calgary plus if we get enough, itll knock the price of rock down for everybody

I was actually thinking of using somebodies garage if they didnt mind. Maybe as a meeting place for everybody to pick up their parts? while the rock packs are undone can refill everything with warm water in ziplocks again for the night/next day

only if your up for it of course

Wouldn't it be faster to go through Calgary on your way to Vancouver anyways? The Jasper route almost seems slower, and Mapquest recommends going through Calgary as well.

No reason you still couldn't take the Coke. You can go straight from Calgary to Banff, Lake Louise, Field, Golden, Revelstoke and Kamloops.

Deb, if they come in on the #1 you're a good choice - just up Stoney Trail, on the way to the #2.

Very handy...
