ReefGeek Group Buy

NeveSSL · #1 12/11/2007, 10:23 AM

Hi all!

Just wondering if anyone is interested in doing the first ReefGeek group order with me?

I am ordering a new T5 lighting kit for my aquarium. I'd like to order on the 21st because I was planning on trying to have my tank accustomed to the new lighting by the frag swap, but if we need to wait an extra week or two to hit the 7% or maybe even 9% mark, I am totally fine with that!

If you're interested, let me know and I'll start a spreadsheet. FWIW, my total should be around $320 or so before discount, so I now we'll hit at least 5% off and it wouldn't take but $180 more to hit 7% off! 9% is a little further away at $1000, but hey... its possible!

Just let me know! For more official information, please see this thread.

Brandon, there are some thing I need, I'll get the list to you in a couple of day, probably around the 100 dollar mark.

NeveSSL · #3 12/11/2007, 04:24 PM

Very cool.

Just let me know, Norman. If I have to, I'll order an extra bulb or two to get the 7%.

Brandon- If this gets pushed back to the first of the year, Id likely be in for $100 or so. I need some salifert calcium test kit and replacement vhos, but Im not sure what temperature (getting some lumenarc minis and reeflux 12ks for christmas!). I wont know until I get the new lamps on the tank.

gsusfreak · #5 12/11/2007, 06:21 PM

yea me too.....if this is after christmas, i should be able to join in

NeveSSL · #6 12/11/2007, 06:29 PM

Good deal, guys. How is January 2nd for everyone? I'd like to do it earlier than that if possible, but it looks like we may have a glimpse of hope of reaching 9% off, and I can wait for that...

Brandon

NeveSSL · #7 12/11/2007, 06:30 PM

Oh, and having said that... if you guys could let me know exactly what you need when you get a chance (Chuck withstanding till after Christmas

), that would be great. Not a huge, huge deal, but I'd like to know where we're at as far as a total along the way.

Also, I will probably have to have your guys payment up front because this time I don't have cash to front an order.

Thanks guys!

Brandon

Awesome... thanks Norman!

Brandon

meintn · #10 12/12/2007, 11:03 AM

I will need to replace the 4 bulbs in my T5 HO I believe so put me in for now for around $80

NeveSSL · #11 12/17/2007, 02:44 AM

Anyone else?

I will probably have to have everyone's money up front as I don't have the cash to front the order.

PayPal would probably be easiest.

Also, how is January 2nd as far as an ordering/"have my money to Brandon by" date?

Also, please let me know what you guys need. I just put a spreadsheet together of what I have so far.

Thanks for joining me in this one, guys!

Oh! And one last note... only $65 until 7% off.

Brandon

fallinapart · #12 12/17/2007, 08:01 AM

Jan 2nd just fine with me. Just PM me details as to how on PayPal to get our money to you. Thanks

Norman

NeveSSL · #13 12/17/2007, 10:04 AM

Awesome... thanks for the reply, Norman. Since you're so close, I'll probably just pick up your payment, if you don't mind.

That'll avoid the PayPal fees, which are annoying, but still probably cheaper than gas for those that are a bit further away.

Brandon

SRT80 · #14 12/17/2007, 07:18 PM

Awesome, Steve! Glad to have you aboard.

We have now officially met 7%. We MAY be able to make 9%! I certainly hope so, anyway... that would ROCK!

I'll update the spreadsheet later tonight and post it.

Brandon

NeveSSL · #16 12/19/2007, 05:03 PM

Updated.

Brandon

SRT80 · #17 12/19/2007, 05:21 PM

Hey Brandon, just please be sure when we do the order, you order me the scrapers and replacement blades for glass.

Thanks,
Steve

NeveSSL · #18 12/19/2007, 06:08 PM

Gotcha... will do, Steve!

Brandon

KafudaFish · #19 12/20/2007, 10:57 AM

I see that you are ordering from RG and I would be interested to join since I need to place an order from them. I would be spending at least 85 on bulb replacement and possibly another 165 on another t5 retro kit. This would get you closer to the 9% discount and I would send payment by Jan. 2 and would pick it up at the swap. Any problems with doing that? If so no problem and understand.

NeveSSL · #20 12/20/2007, 04:26 PM

I'm not sure, Mike. Let me check and I'll get back with you.

Brandon

NeveSSL · #21 12/27/2007, 05:51 PM

Well... I've got some good news/bad news. Hopefully good news for everyone.

Due to the holidays impacting my finances a little more than I had planned, I am going to have to wait until January 18th to order. I think this may actually work out better for all of us.

I PM'd the guys who have already placed their orders, and they were fine with ti.

Maybe this will give everyone more time to save up and maybe give the ETRC guys a chance to get on board!

Brandon

gsusfreak · #22 12/27/2007, 06:29 PM

aw man, i think its gonna be bad news on my end brandon......since the swap is on the 19th, i was hoping to have the lights setup a week or so before then, and not a week after (assuming ground shipping)........so i think imma go solo on this one......sorry bud, maybe next time, with bulb replacements

NeveSSL · #23 12/27/2007, 11:56 PM

Its all good, John. Do whatcha gotta do.

I was hoping to have them before the swap, too, but I just don't think its gonna work.

Brandon
