this is at bulkreefsupply

***NEW*** Group Buy is now available any time and as many times as your club would like to utilize it.

This promotion is designed to maximize the discounts and remove all of the organizational hassle that normally goes along with a group buy. All you need is 10 people who want to buy at least one item from us at drastically discounted prices.

Here is how it works: For one week we upgrade every member of your club who signs up and creates an account with special "Club Wholesale" status. This gives them individual access to the maximum quantity discounts without quantity requirements on all of our bulk material as well as considerable discounts on much of our product line. Each member of the club handles their own order individually. There is no need to organize the order, schedule a pickup/distribution day, or collect payments. If that isn't enough we offer one more exciting perk: All club members who participate in the group buy will have their accounts upgraded to "Preferred Reefer" status giving them a smaller but permanent discount. The only requirement to be eligible for this Introductory Reef Club offer is that a minimum of 15 club members sign up. If you are interested in setting up a group buy with us please contact Andrew to get you started Andrew@reefchili.com

***Please note that with some items we are obligated to honor manufactures pricing guidelines. All of these products are already set at the minimum price allowed by the manufacture and we cannot lower them any further.***

We usually do one in late March, early April every year (I think those are the months.) I was working on my order tonight.

I'm interested if these will fit my Kent Maxxima Hi-S RO/DI... I need a full suite, all 3 canisters and a new membrane... please let me know.

micki · « **Reply #3 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:16:50 »

I'm sure there is something I could find to help make sure our number of people is up there.

MechanicalEngineer · « **Reply #4 on:** February 16, 2009, 08:30:37 »

UDFlyer00 - RO/DI cartridges are universal...no worries. How old is your membrane?

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:46:55 »

Not necessarily... I bought a DI refill from a location that said that same thing and it didn't fit. Couldn't close up the canister and it leaked, and in the process of trying to tighten it down I cracked the top housing and was out my $25..

As for my membrane, well, um, it could use to be replaced...

MSUJenn · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2009, 12:42:34 »

I'm in for a group buy. I was going to order filters and carbon blocks anyways because I wasn't sure if we were still doing this. If we are, I'll hold off a little longer.

Amstar · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2009, 20:12:21 »

This is what I got back from them.

Basically our group buys remove all of the hassle normally associated with a group buy by giving individual access to the lowest quantity discount to each participating member. This means each member gets the lowest price even if they only buy one item. Everybody handles their own order separately so you donâ€™t have to spend a lot of time organizing an order, collecting payment, and disbursing the product to each member. And as a thank you we give each participating member permanent Preferred Customer status which gives them discounts on their future orders.

All you need to do is pick a Tuesday that your group will start and send me a list of members who will be participating. We update accounts on that Tuesday and send everyone an email notifying them that they can buy. Members should have created an account with us prior to the group buy start so we can update their accounts. Members who miss the first list are welcome to send us an email and sign up at anytime during the duration of the group buy. Orders are shipped individually so there is no waiting for one big consolidation. The following Monday we set all account to Preferred Customer status.

so basically for this we need 15 Ohio Reef members to join. looks like we need to have 15 members have their names and emails to send to andy at bulk reef supply. Those 15 members need to set up accounts with bulkreef supply. then once we have 15 people signed up they will send everyone an email saying that we are now preferred customers (for life).

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2009, 20:21:24 »

Does it cost anything to sign up?? I will sign up, but I really need to find out if their filters will fit my Kent RO/DI...

pontiac2002gtp · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2009, 20:24:34 »

I would be in I'm already a preferred customer but if it helps get the number up I can order something. I think they changed it so you only need 10 people instead of 15 to be preferred customers might be worth checking into.

pontiac2002gtp · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2009, 20:26:05 »

Its free to sign up and I'm pretty sure all the filters are universal fit.

CoralBeauties · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2009, 20:32:39 »

I read the first post and sent andrew@reefchili.com an email asking to be put on this list. My reply was that he wasnt aware of what was going on with this. he asked for a link to the post which I supplied and then was told he wasnt able to read it due to no password. I copied and pasted the post and sent it to him. I hope that I am not getting things messed up with my confusion.

This is the entire email message back and forth:

Hi ,
Andrew handles all of the group buys. I will forward this email to him and im sure he will get back to you on Monday.
For now I would check out this link. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/i8/Group-and-Club-Buys/information.html

I then sent an email to andrew and this is what he said

I am in on the group buy.
BTW, for those that did not read the entire thread, the group buy is for anything you want to get from their site.

Amstar · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2009, 07:33:17 »

we just need enough names and we will all be upgraded.

sign up to BRS, then email me your email address that you used with them so I can forward it to andrew once we get enough names to be upgraded and have a group buy

ohioreef · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:35:26 »

Believe I am already a Premium Member, but I will order some cartridges if you need me to get your 15 people.

CoralBeauties · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2009, 17:15:20 »

i emailed andrew and My name was added towards the total that we are getting together.
jeff

Amstar · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2009, 19:41:14 »

I have an email sent to andrew about how he wants to handle if we already have premium members (to BRS). I asked if they could be counted towards the total number so we reach our group goal so that we can all be upgraded.

So far I have three of us

Amstar · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2009, 20:25:18 »

if you are premium member to BRS you still get the group by prices. if we get enough people signed up then everyone is upgraded to a premium member for life.

we have 4 people so far

MechanicalEngineer · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2009, 22:22:42 »

I'm already a premium member...I'm in for the group buy. If we don't get enough people together, I'm still ordering.

Amstar · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2009, 22:26:01 »

even if you are a member already send me your BRS info...they will allow those who are members already to count towards the total number of people we have.

out of the 4 we have three of us are already premium members... but without more people we will not get the group buy price

Riderc82 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2009, 23:03:53 »

I don't know if I am a premium member but I have an account with them my E-mail address I use to log on is: Riderc82@yahoo.com I will need some filters soon.

Brians937 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2009, 00:39:28 »

If it's not too late I want to join too. My email is....

You are better of PMing email addresses rather than posting them in the open forum. Spam-bots can harvest your address from the forum.

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 23, 2009, 14:09:59 »

just to make sure, you signed up with bulkreefsupply with that addresss already correct?? If not you'll need to sign up over there and then Amstar can add you to the list...

If you already did that please disregard!!

so whats everyone getting?

lazylivin · « **Reply #39 on:** February 25, 2009, 00:09:16 »

Thanks for organizing this for us Jeff

Here is what I have got in the cart so far

2 Drew's Doser Peristaltic Dosing Pump
SM-1: In-Line Single TDS Monitor
48" T5 RETRO-FIT KITS
One Gallon (4.5 pounds) Kalkwasser, Calcium Hydroxide

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 25, 2009, 00:54:30 »

Okay, someone please help me...

What do I need to order to replace everything in my Kent Maxxima Hi-S RO/DI?? I have a 60 GPD, but they don't sell a 60 membrane, they sell a 75 GPD, can I buy that one? As as for the 3 canisters, Do they sell the DI canister, or just the "reuseable" one? Sorry, just want to make sure I get all the right stuff...

Mark

lazylivin · « **Reply #41 on:** February 25, 2009, 01:42:50 »

Might want to touch base with Andrew from BRS tomorrow. That way if something does not fit or work out they will take care of it.

Amstar · « **Reply #42 on:** February 25, 2009, 08:48:10 »

I have thought about those dosers but I do not have enough load yet to demand to be dosed. Let me know how you like them.

why the single line and not the dual line tds? I just got the dual line and its nice.

I got the dual reactor.. you will like it.

I havent been on yet to determine what I am going to get.

I know I am buying a new membrane and flow restrictor..to hopefully get my ro/di unit up and going.

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #43 on:** February 25, 2009, 09:19:21 »

jeff do you have an email address that I could hit Andrew up to make sure I order what I need? Please post or pm it.

Thanks,
Mark

I was thinking about getting the dual tds meter but since the RO/DI unit is not in a convinent location (tucked under the sink) I thought would put the single mounted into the aquarium stand just before the top off unit.

What is the benfit of a dual? Does it just tell you what the TDS is going into the RO/DI unit?

Amstar · « **Reply #45 on:** February 25, 2009, 09:50:47 »

basically you can hook it up to anything. i have mine before my ro membrane and the other after my di filters.

I did have it hooked up to the inline to the actual filter to see what my tds going in was (175). i just figured for a few bucks more why not have the dual.

Man I've never considered purchasing a TDS, but after you guys mentioning it and checking it out on the site, you've really perked my interest!! I might pickup a dual one as well..

We'll see. Thanks for the address, I just dropped him a line with my bazillion questions..

LAST CALL FOR ANYONE ELSE WANTING TO SIGN UP!!!

I will be sending the last update to andrew tonight

lazylivin · « **Reply #49 on:** February 27, 2009, 23:18:24 »

Placed my order on Wednesday afternoon and it arrived today.

Riderc82 · « **Reply #50 on:** February 27, 2009, 23:29:28 »

I may have missed it along the way but how do you know if you have been upgraded? I never received an email.

cyberwollf · « **Reply #51 on:** February 28, 2009, 00:19:10 »

I got the email, but how do i tell if I got upgraded? The prices looked the same whether i was logged out or logged in

Amstar · « **Reply #52 on:** February 28, 2009, 05:04:42 »

the only way I could tell was to go to the website before i signed in to see the prices. then logged in and saw that the prices were cheaper.

I would just email andrew@reefchili.com back about it

lazylivin · « **Reply #53 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:25:03 »

Another way to tell is when you log in go to any product and scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find the Quantity Price Chart. All prices will be the same. Usually there is a different cost depending on the volume you buy.

lazylivin · « **Reply #54 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:29:10 »

One of the things I bought from them was 2 250w Radium SE bulbs. They are my favorite to date. Nice crisp white with a blue tint. Although they list them as 20k I think they are more like a 15k bulb. I will get some pics of them soon and post here.

I believe the group buy ends on Monday, March 2nd. I missed the email at first too, and I had to search through my spam box to find it.
