Where do you order supplies?

Post by Srkoe »

I need to order a small circulation pump for my 30 gallon SAP tank. Would a nano be sufficient, if not, what size? Where is a good place online with reasonable prices and reasonable shipping. Thanks!

http://www.drsfostersmith.com offers free shipping on orders >$49. I think they also offer pretty cheap shipping under that too.

ebay :D . I order always from ebay. I like to shop around for the cheapest shipping and I find great deals there. Someone on a budget like me has to. So that's how I been doing it.

I really like the koralia's. Which would be better for a 30g with SAP's...the 240 or 425? I know nothing about these things.

I just picked up a Koralia nano 425 for my 33 gal SW tank. Works great. Ebay has some great deals

I was thrilled when Petsolutions had them for 1/2 off last year! Bought 3 big ones.

I have noticed that things are being sold extremely fast with free shipping on here here lately...lol. Geee I wonder why? I bought my last 2 aquarium products here lately with free shipping. It's so much easier when they sale things like this :D .

I am soop spoiled. I get just about everything at my LFS. Some is special order routinely, but if you order by Monday noon its here Tuesday. Local sales tax, but no shipping. Of course I have known the owner since he open the store - pushing 30 years ago.
