Where do you guys get Large bottles of Prime from?
Like 1 - 2L sizes. How much should I be paying for that much?

Also same with Seraflora... like a 2kilo bucket or whatever.

I bought new fishes and they eat HEAPS more

(if you dont wanna write where you get stuff from on the forum just email me: newo at iinet dot net dot au)

Thanks.

you can get it from any good fish shop like vebas fish and stuff etc so just walk in ask mate

[finding newo]

fish and stuff dont sell Sera.
Do you even work there?

Large bottles of prime I havn't noticed there before.

Owen, Fish 'n' Stuff do sell Sera products....as do most LFS. As has been said, most of the larger LFS will have bulk quantities of most products, or will get it in for you (Aquotix has Sera Flora buckets at around the $140.00 each).

i prefer the small bottles when it comes to food and flakes, the reason is if im in a rush and leave the lid off or dont put it on proply the food gets soggy and moist so if a big bucket then i didnt get my moneys worth owen but if a small jar no problem, and then i might knock it over or someone else might, thats why i like small jars, but i prefer lots of the prime stuff coz less chance of me detroying it as it doesnt sit out available like food does,

Hey huys,

[BengaBoy]

Ben at Age of Aquariums.
2l Prime $108
4l Prime $188
last time I looked/bought

check out his site for the latest prices.

u should be able to get Sera Flora for about $135/2kg
OSI comes in a 5kg which works out cheap.

[finding newo]

yeh i think Ben has stopped selling Prime now
Best I can find is 2L for $120 and that is sold out.
Although I can buy 4 x 500m bottles for $4 more or something.

hi,
I know someone who bought a 2 kg bucket of sera flora for around $126 at morley aquariums i think. also check if city farmers can order it in they have good prices.

[finding newo]

I bought a 2kg bucket from Morley for $135 with the discount. (normally $150). City farmers quoted me $170 for the same thing.

Hey oF1o

Several years ago I bought a s/h heat sealer. I buy my flake in big plastic bags about 60 cm long, 18 cm diameter and divide it into 8-10 smaller ones, squish the air out and heat seal them. I cut the top off one bag at a time, fill a take-away food container, roll the top of the bag down and clothes-peg it shut. The fish get fed from the t/a container so the most I stand to loose if I forget to close it (I did once) is the t/a container full.

Hi guys
just for your INFO..

was going to visit Vebas the other day and also the other shop close to Home ....

But ran out of time so i had to stop at city farmers

AMAZED to find that heates that they sell in the aquariums for $80 + i can buy from city farmers for less than HALF!!!
200W FOR $30 ALSO food is about Half $
They had bloodworm packs for $2.50 and Brine shrimp at same $

I don't know if these $ are the cheapest but it saved me heaps ..hope this is helpfull to u guys

cheers

[reesy1]

I noticed those prices in their catalouge that came out this week. 300w for 32 bucks and 600l/hr internal filter for 9.99 , pretty impressed pity i dont need any heaters maybe i can convince the missus to flash up my spare 3x2x2 , so i can take advantage of the bargains.
