Definitely worth to bulk buy... I just did a trial checkout of 5 ACO-005, shipping was slightly less than $50... (as the quantity goes up, the shipping cost goes up but not by a lot)...

Maybe someone should post a Group Buy post for Perth instead of just under this Ellenbrook thread... I am sure for someone SOR would want to save of the shipping...

Well i guess we could use the buy and sell area. But clearly if these air pumps are up there in quality you would think they would be stocked by now to reduce that cumbersome freight cost.

I am actually gonna ring my supplier up tomorrow and get up em and see if they will come to the party , I'll tell em where and how much I can get them for retail. tell em how many I'll buy if they do it for the right price and take it from there. maybe I should suggest guppie to use aus.post they are using fasttrack they say it is out of there control. what a load of $&*#.their loss.

That's probably because they are more focused on the eastern states business... WA is "not really part of Australia"...

Ivan I tried to order 4 pumps and it refused it, said the order was too big and had to be done separate. I emailed guppie about this, they said they couldn't do anything.

O.K guys I have Good news, will have to arrange a meet up, or come and see me on Saturday at the shop, Don't want to upset anyone if you know what I mean .lol. let's keep molehills, molehills.

Air pump group buy??

I'm in!

EDIT: Just saw Rupes post. Note to self - read remainder of thread, then post!

Not wasting my time any more with them, It's too hard for them to deal with the west (freight) they don't want the hassle(sale). Have my own supplier local, I just told them what I'm gonna pay and they have come to the party. Just putting some per head prices together now, If you want in, I need to know numbers. Airline comes in a 76m roll, I can't get round air stones down in price but cylinder ones with the same surface area I can, the pumps I have bargained with are bigger too 90 lpm, 12 outlet manifold. Ha fish spa hehehe...... These will have a warranty too because they are local. when I have numbers and payment I can have them in a day or 2, not loaded on a camels back and slapped on the arse.lol

PJ -

What's the wattage on those badboys? Make and model?


90LPM is pretty mega ...!

just worked out 12 stones@ 3m a stone will be 36m of airline so 1 roll will be between 2.

can't remember the wattage will find out later, I think it may be around 100w but the next size down was 60 lpm don't quote me on that but I will find out exactly probably on thurs. when I am back at work, Don't do Wednesdays.

Acknowledged.

100W will be a bit too exxy come each month's powerbill for me, personally.

I'll be looking at under 50W @ 50-60LPH!
