who is interested in a southdown group buy?

[dima96]

i may have found somewhere willing to ship a pallet of southdown (56 bags). i need 10-15 bags and i'm trying to see if it is worth getting a pallet. please post how many bag you are looking for. pick up would be in littleton ma.

[~Flighty~]

Are you sure it is the right stuff? seems like they might be phasing it out. I bet 50 bags would go quick.

[ScottM]

i am in for 10.

[Armando]

I need 2

[starrfish]

Doug - I would love to get some bags. Not sure how many I will need for my new tank - it will be about 300g with a 2" sand bed. Does anyone have any idea how much I'll need??

[dima96]

here is a sand bed calculator that should give you an idea how much you need

[starrfish]

OMG - I need A LOT! According to the calc about 300 lbs! How much is in each bag? How much does each bag cost?

Daire

[dima96]

the bags are 40 or 50 lbs and they cost about $5. i'm not going to know the final price until later this week.

[RobboT]

I'd be in for 10 bags Doug.

Also, I could pick-up in Littleton and hold a bunch of bags at my house in Canton for any other interested "Southerners" :)

[Moe_K]

I'll buy 10 bags.

[Piscevore]

[Piscevore]

Bumping, looking for status update.

[dima96]

i'll let everyone know as soon as i know anything. if anyone else knows a source please give it a try.

[paine43]

can i still get in this for 3 bags or are they all gone?

[Moe_K]

i think the quantity all depends on how much (if any) dima96's contact can acquire.

[littlep93056]

[jango]

[ScottM]

agway in salem NH should be ordering thru the winter..... some one in southern NH might want to check.

[mattn007]

I talked to the agway in Salem. the guy was nice and helpfull and tried to order more and stock through winter, but after calling several weeks ina row and them not getting it in he said that the product was discontinued and they could not get it. I left my info in thier books to contact me if it ever came in and I haven't heard from them. I'll post if I do find out they have it stocked. I'm hoping this group buy works out.

[stang8s]

every single winter they say the same thing about it being discontinued, yet every spring it shows up again. strange.

[NateHanson]

Got to keep the market hot, I guess. Kind of like how Wendy's keeps releasing the spicy chicken sandwich for a limited time, then yanking it away for a few months, before releasing it again. (DAMN those financial GENIUSES at Wendy's!)

[FishyIdea]

i'll take 5
i won't need until the end of January

[jango]

It's not south down anymore they changed to Yard Right (http://www.yardright.com/sand.htm)

[Armando]

Cool! Does the new package still say "Not suitable for aquarium"? :D

[mattn007]

It was the Yard Right Tropical Play sand that I had asked the Agway in Salem for and was told they couldn't get it because it was discontinued. Maybe it just isn't produced in the winter?

[dima96]

it's a no go right now, sorry :mad:

[Moe_K]

looks like i wait until march to set up my tank. ;) http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/sally/lol.gif

[marco67]

I was holding back on posting here because it looked like you guys would be set.
Now that this deal looks dead I'll chime in to say that I have a deal in the works to bring in a truck load (~1000 bags), I was going to hold it for my installs and in store use but....Depending on the interest I could free some up for this.

[natehat]

I think the interest is clearly pretty high :) what would the price & timing be?

[Armando]

bump

[littlep93056]

how soon are you getting it

[Moe_K]

One of y'all should give Marc a call and see what he can do. :)

[Daragon]

I'm interested, I'll take quite a few. Depending on price of coarse.... :D

[Piscevore]

i just spoke with marc, since none of you slackers were up to the task.
He is still awaiting a delivery date on his truckload.

[Armando]

The person that put together the group buy for the DFWMAS (Dallas/Fort Worth marine aquarium society) has 6 pallet's left, and he is also sending me info on how to purchase it direct...

[Piscevore]

Nice...

[RichConley]

I'd be interested if it was relatively soon.

[Rob]

I'll take a few, just in case..........
