Upcoming Kensfish Group Order

FishBuddy · July 10, 2013, 10:54:28 PM

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking of doing another group order from Kensfish. Their website is:

http://www.kensfish.com/

All orders over $75 gets free shipping. I am thinking of going down to Ogdensburg, NY to pick it up sometime late July or early August. According to the last order, here's a list of additional cost:

- gas money is around $20 so we could split the cost.
- shipping is free at this point since we are above $75.
- HST of 13% on the entire at the border.
- receivership fee of $5 per box of item. I will calculate the amount for each person based on how much and what type of item(s) each of us orders. I'll try to be as fair as possible

Yes, it is still on. I've been busy lately so didn't get an update on the list. So far, 5 people shown interest in it, including myself. I am still planning to do the order by end of July and pick it up early August.

PS: I've just updated the list.

Hi,

I plan to order 2 of "Marineland LED Double Bright Strip 24-36 Inches", I wonder if it is safe from damage during shipping? Is it worth it? Thanks.

I got one of these the last time round and it was packed well! Only tubes should be of concern but even then, they came in fine the last time round so you should be good!

Are you using it for plants? I was thinking about buying a light fixture for a possible future planted tank but wasn't sure if it would be adequate or not.

Not the greatest. There are folks who use it - I have it on a low-light tank with ferns, mosses and some not to light-demanding plant but there are other ones on there. The Current Satellite + looks promising and I might get one - again better for a low-light set up rather then a high light set-up. All depends on how high your tank is. T5HO or a Finnex/BuildMyLED fixture may be better if its a taller tank and you are going to have higher-light demanding plants.

Hi FishBuddy,

What is the method of payment in advance?

I'd possibly get some Hydor powerheads but not sure which size.
Don't hold up for me.
If I figure it out in time I'll let you know. I posted in DIY/Equipement if you care to help me decide

Buy them from a local salty sponsor like Ray, or Az...you won't get them much cheaper than they sell them for and you don't have to wait.

Okay thanks for the tip!

I see you decided on the Current Satellite Freshwater LED 24-36 Inch fixture also.
