I like reefcleaners. But I haven't tried the BRS stuff.
So what I'm gonna buy total $178 so free shipping. And it's UPS ground for shipping so 3 days at most.
I'm gonna get the new ATI bulbs, 6 aquablue specials and 2 purple pluses. Some filter socks and some reef gel. LOL
Not a huge amount but I'm saving about $20 bucks on the bulbs which is $20 bucks in my pocket.
I was looking at 54W-48In Pure Actinic Giesemann D&D Powerchrom T5 Bulbs - just one and was gonna take out one white and put this in it's place. What do you think? (I want a purple-ish hue somehow).
So far I've got the Hanna Phospate Checker in my cart since it appears to be the same price in other places.
Magnesium is out of stock and a few cents difference between discount and other "regular" prices.
I'm not going to spend 175.00 for the free shipping. And right now first class mail is $3.56 for the one item (so I may not buy anything at this point).
So IMHO, I'm not really seeing much to make this group buy "a gotta get in on" kinda deal. 5% off some, 10% off others and can't buy what's out of stock.
I also notice on their quick overview for the Salifert Strontium Test (which is $5.00 cheaper) it says "The Salifert Phosphate Test Kit contains 60 tests." And they do not give very good descriptions on alot of items, just the very basics. I don't want to buy something $200.00 and not even have a link to a product manual, or manufacturer to get more info on.
Sorry so negative but I just don't feel we really got "a deal". Even thought something is cheaper there and more expensive at another site, the opposite is true also where BRS is more expensive than other sites, so for me it's 6 of one and half dozen of the the other.
Hope this makes sense and doesn't tick anyone off,,,,,,,again this is just IMHO.
