Don is open, but the credit card is not set up, so the official opening is next weekend. However, cash works.

The store is a lot easier to get around and see everything (white tile floor instead of dark carpet, good lighting). He is still cycling some tanks (no saltwater yet) but does have some freshwater stock (cichlids and livebearers) and the reptiles available. More expected to arrive Tuesday, including rams. Lots of supplies.

Don's in good spirits and very glad to be in business again, so stop by and give a great guy some business. ]]> Arizona Retailers jnotjane http://www.azaquaticplants.com/community/showthread.php?t=13848 http://www.azaquaticplants.com/community/showthread.php?t=13847&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:55:06 GMT I'm curious to see how many people are students on here at ASU. I know a few guys at AT go to ASU and I figure there must be a number of aquariums on campus. It'd be cool to get a ASU AAPE group.

Just a thought,

ADA Advanced CO2 system
Metal Power Pipe 13mm
Metal Jet Pipe V2
Clear hose 13mm (for canister filter)

And possibly a nano diffuser and an ADA drop checker.

I'm also looking for an EL valve, but for much less than retail.

If you have anything locally let me know, I'm placing the order Monday.

He is an AAPE supporter and offers a 15% discount. I will be requesting overnight USPS Express shipping on the order and shipping will be split *proportionately* among participants based on your percentage dollar value in the order. Pick up at my house (59th Ave and the 101) the day of delivery - likely the 17th or 18th of Sept. I will not hold fish past the day of delivery, at least not with any guarantee of survival and DOA's will only count if they are die the day of shipment. Payment in cash on pick up is preferred - or via paypal gift (no fees) or with fees added in so that I get the final amount of your order fully covered.

Don't mean for all of that to sound too harsh - and those who have done group orders with me before know I am very fair with these things - just want to be clear upfront and set proper expectations.

This is what I am down for:

12x Toothpick Fish
24x Boraras Brigittae
12x Micro Spider Crabs

If you would like to jump on the order (minimum shipping will be $35 if we have just one box) please post what you would like in this thread and I will coordinate with Frank. ]]> Group Orders dapellegrini http://www.azaquaticplants.com/community/showthread.php?t=13834
