Who buys in bulk?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
gravel, dolomite, sand, rocks, wood, lightbulbs, water coniditioners, cailbration solution for my testers, salt, food, meds... everything. I have a knack for good deals, I really like them! I always see a good deal and buy it even if I don't need it, just out of principle.
 
I buy all my fishfood and shipping bags in bulk,its much cheaper that way.I get most of my food and supplies from kensfish.com great guy to deal with.If your in the northeast,he travels to all the shows and auctions,and will box up your order and bring it so you can save on shipping.He packs all the food in 1/2 lb bags so even if you buy 5lbs for the price break,it in convenient .5lb bags.
I just got an order from him on sunday,I had asked to pay paypal as I have a balance there from fish sales but his confirmation email bounced or something.At the show he handed me an $80 order said no problem weve done business before,paypal me when you get home!!Great guy to deal with in every way!
I got a few of the 1 lb flats of frozen food to try out this time,much cheaper than the cubes.
 
I try to buy my filter stuff in bulk, as well as the largest bottles of Prime and Flourish. I do a big order of frozen food once a year because the LFS around here don't carry the selction I need.

Kensfish.com has good prices on shipping supplies (bags and heat packs.) Also try aquabid.com.

you may want to not be a ... the only fish i have lost latley is a goldfish... and seeing how my fish love it, are healthy, and i clean my tank, i think i'm fine. and fyi inless your a USDA representitive, dont be telling me what to do with my beef, inless you know what kind i'm serving
My apologies. I realize my opinion was not asked for, and I mistakenly assumed by your low post count that you were somewhat new to the hobby. I also assumed that this was your post: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121906
where you said: and not to mention whenever i get fish from there they die within a week
You are free to do whatever you want to with your beef, as I am not a USDA inspector. I apologize again for my rude intrusion.

On another note, that is a BIG bag of flake food. I have a quart size can of flake food that I buy, but that is nothing compared to that bag. I would also love to learn where you can buy Hikari in bulk. I need a deal on sinking carnivore pellets and massivore delight.
