How does my "to buy" list look?

[zacdl]

CD-12989 Eco-Complete Planted Aquarium Substrate $17.99 x = $17.99
*Additional shipping weight fee applies: $ 4.50
CD-157307 Python No Spill Clean 'N Fill (25 feet) $21.69 x = $21.69
CD-923092 Seachem Flourish (250 ml) $4.99 x = $4.99
CD-110706 Freshwater Master Kit $18.99 x = $18.99
CD-100942 GH/KH (freshwater only) $4.99 x = $4.99

Subtotal = $68.65


Obviously I will put the same stuff into differant companies to get the best price, but do I have everything that I need right there? Other than rocks/driftwood/decor and suck is that all I need?

Just thought I would show some price comparision.

Grand total from Drs Foster Smith- $82.14
Grand total from Big Als- $78.63

Only differance why is $5 extra for the Python from Foster Smith. If you were to add that onto Big als total it would cost you MORE than Drs Foster Smith.
Just thought I found that interesting, how Drs Foster Smith might acutally be running cheaper prices.

I buy from petsolutions.com. They are usually within about $5 of the other online stores, and it only takes two days to ship to chicagoland. Plus they have live people answer the customer service line,..... ON SUNDAYS!

 

[zacdl]

But they dont have some of thes stuff I want

Big Al will match any online price.

...and you are likely going to need a good two bags of that eco-complete.

 

[zacdl]

This IS a 30 hex. Less footprint than the regular 30s. A 30 pound bag of sand for SW put me at almost 4" deep. I was thinking a 20 lb would put me plenty deep for FW?

 

[Toirtis]

Probably good....larger swords would prefer about 4", but you probably won't have room for any anyways.

 

[zacdl]

Nope dont want swords.... They grow too tall and I prefer bushy, full plants.

Have you culled down your list yet?

 

[zacdl]

You mean list of plants?

I could tell you what I want it to look like but I have no clue what plants would fill the description I want.

Yes, just curious.
