I am in need of some supplies from BRS. I would like to see if anybody is interested in doing a group buy from them. It never hurts to stock up. Before you get hesitant about a group buy, let me tell you why this one is different. There is no picking out what you want and sending it to the organizer with a check and then waiting for the order to come in and meeting up to pick up your items. When you do a group buy from BRS you pay BRS directly and the item ships to you immediately.
This is exactly whats listed on BRS website:

"We have a unique way of doing Group Buy's at BulkReefSupply.com. Instead of requiring groups to place a single large order we give each group buy participant individual access to our lowest prices. There are no purchase quantity or order size requirements. Each participant gets the lowest prices even if they only buy one item. This removes the need to organize one big bulk order, collect all the payments, and distribute the order."

So here's how we do this.

First we need a minimum of 10 people.
Secondly, all 10 people will need to create an account on BRS, and then provide me with the email address that you registered as I will need it to fill out the group buy form.
Third, we will pick a tuesday(thats the day BRS has choosen for group buys to start) that we want our group buy to start, it will be open until the following monday.
Once the tuesday rolls around BRS will send an email to everyone one the group buy. Once you recieve this email you may proceed to their site, choose your items, pay and they will be shipped to you directly and immedietly.
Finally, "At the end of the Group Buy each participant's account will be changed to Preferred Customer. BRS Preferred Customer pricing is generally between our retail and group buy prices. This permanent upgrade is our way of saying thanks for getting your reef supplies with us!"

So what i need at the moment is to find out who is interested. Please let me know who would like to join in. I don't want to restrict it to only ETRC members. So just reply to this thread if you'd like to join in. If we get 10 i'll contact you to make sure you set up your account with BRS and to supply me with your email address.

We have tried this before. We were never able to get 10 members to join in. Although it does really have to be 10 ETRC members.

BTW Reef Central will probably delete your thread over there. They see this as being a money making thing on your part.

Its a shame Reef Central chooses to be that way. Why does it have to be limited to ETRC members? According to the BRS website it does not just for clubs, it can be a group buy.

I did not say it had to be club members. In fact, it does not.

Good deal, looks like we have 3 people in. 7 more to go. This should be easy as everyone needs something! Reminder there is no minimum order.

I was going to give you a hard time about being senile and then I realized this was probably supposed to say does'nt.

I'll get something now if it gets me a bigger discount later.

Eddie bought a lot of stuff from them a while back, like GFO and stuff. Might want to see if he has what you want before going to that hassle.

If you stop by this weekend, bring a sample. I can test for Ca, Mg, Sr, PO4, K, I, nitrates, S.G., and probably a few others I forgot about. I'll never use all the tests before the kits expire so someone might as well get some use out of them.

I wouldnt mind stopping by to talk LED's and get another look at those chalices. Thanks for the offer on the water tests. I just ran some the other day, but i thought it would be good to have my own test kits here around the house since i've been dosing calcium.

Am still planning on you stopping by some time this weekend. Just PM when you think you have an idea of when you'd like to come by. If you still want a chalice or two we can do that too. I still owe you $10 so don't let me forget about that. I think I have an API Ca test kit you can have. Wasn't accurate enough for me but we can calibrate it against my Saliferts and you can use it to monitor your water to see if your Ca levels remain stable.
