Sand Run

[Mako]

Will be going to Ft. Pierce to visit Marcona (or whatever their new name may be these days) to fill up the pick-up with some aragonite sand. (aka southdown, carib-sea etc.) this Tuesday. If you want some let me know before then and I will be happy to get you some while I am there. Gonna fill the bed of the truck up anyways so.... :D

[anative]

I could use some for a new refugium I'm setting up. I gave away all that I had gotten on the last run.

I would be interested in about 20lbs for a 7g bowfront nano I'm putting together as a project for Millennium Middle School students.

[George_N_Jo]

We could use about 30 lbs for our mothers new 65 gallon reef setup.

[Mako]

Ok, I have about 1500lbs extra that I won't be using so if you want it let me know. I can bring it to the next reef club meeting on the 25th at Richards house.

To offset gas, time and labor I am asking for .10 per pound. (if you want to chip in more to help defray my encounter with FHP then please do so :D) Works out to 10 bucks for 100 lbs which I am sure you will agree is more than fair. 50lbs will be minimum purchase which is about a 5 gal bucket near full. Bring your own containers.

Confirm here or send email.

Mako,

I will need 360 pounds for a 4" bed in my 180 gallon I am setting up. Any idea how many pounds of sand fit in a 55 gallon garbage can? I can bring the can and a shovel to the next meeting.

[scubadude]

uhhh I would like 1000lbs and could you deliver it to me for .10 lb :p :rolleyes:

[George_N_Jo]

Since you have so much extra, we would like to have 100 lbs. if that's alright. Your asking price is more than fair. Sorry to hear about your run in. :( That's no fun. See you at the meeting. Oh by the way, we also have a friend that wants 500 lbs. of sand for their tank. Where are you located? Maybe we can arrange a pick up. Do you ever go into Seven Seas? The guys who wants the 500 lbs. works there.

[George_N_Jo]

Never mind. I looks like you have a bunch of taker. Thanks for the offer though.:)

[Mako]

Scuba was just jerking my chain George_N_Jo. He already has a couple thousand of his own. :p So if you still want some I have more than enough for ya. Let me know about your friend and the 500lbs. I can bring it to the meeting.

Thorsx- I would venture to say you could get 360lbs of this stuff into a 55G can. 5G bucket holds 50 so should not be a problem getting 360 into a 55. Now moving it later might present a problem. :D

[George_N_Jo]

Alrighty. We will take 600 lbs. of sand then. I guess we'll see you at the party. That's 12 bucket right?!

[Mako]

Ok, I have you down for 600lbs. Yep, 12 it would be. Bring something to put it in.

[Thorsx]

I guess I can fill up a garbage can while it is in the back of my Xterra. I only wish I had a fork lift to get it out when I get home!!!

[riccosuavecr]

I would like to make a sand run in a few weeks. I have been to the sand goldmine before when it was under a different name, so I don't need directions, but would you please post the name and telephone number of the new business.
thank you,

[Mako]

The new name is AES. Dont have the phone number.

Ok, last call before the meeting. Confirm the amount of sand you want via email to me at mako@mysticreefs.com

I have got George_N_Joe down for 600 and Thorx down for 360. Please confirm via email also.

Mako, by the way, I want to pull the aragonite bottom out of my 110 and put in a southdown sand bottom. Bring about 100lbs of it to my house and I will throw a few bucks your way for your trouble.
