I just got the information on December promotions from the manufacturers. There are only a few things that are of real interest (IMO).
Here they are. What we need is FEEDBACK. If there is something on this list that we would like to see available in the store, we need to discuss it. Because of the holiday season, I am only planning one order, so we need to make it count (if we want anything at all).
Tetra - all Whisper power filters are 30% off; all TetraTec power filters and accesories are 25% off
I am not a big Tetra hardware fan, and I do not use power filters except to remove medications with carbon.
Aquarium Systems - All Mini-jet and Micro-jet pumps are 30% off.
I am not very familiar with these pumps; however, I am looking for an alternative to the Rio mini-90 power head to run CO2 reactors. The Rio is the perfect size, and it has excellent attachments that make it very versitile. Anyone know anything about the Micro-jet 320 pump? The price would be very nice... $14.50.
Hagan - Fluval cannister filters are 35% off. Here are the prices I think we can go with:
104 - $60
204 - $70
304 - $90
404 - $120
I would really appreciate doing the Fluvals on a special order basis. They represent a lot of cash to lay out and keep in inventory. If you are interested, please let me know.
Hagan aquaclear mini power filters are also on. They would be $18.00.
FROZEN FOOD - OK... I am willing to give it a TRY. I have never shipped frozen before. I have access to some medical supply shipping styros that are really thick, and I can use ice packs. This is another item that I would like to try on a special order basis for at least the first ime around. If it turns out to be easy, I can stock it for you as the sales come along.
Hikari - all 3.5 oz cube packs are on sale at 30% off. It is probably not worth shipping to get less than 10 packs; but we can probably mix and match. Here are the prices per 3.5 oz pack:
bloodworm, brine, daphnia, plankton, krill, mysis - $2.25
tubifex - $2.50
Ocean Nutrition AquaYums - blood worms 30% off
3.5 oz ?cubes? - $2.25
4 oz flat - $2.25
7 oz ?cubes? - $3.35
8 oz flat - $3.75
16 oz (availability is suspect) - no price given, I have to call and check
That's it. Nothing else new on the wires right now.
We are down to 50 cans of 90% HR brine eggs. That's ten cans gone in less than a week. $20 a can....
