I was surfing around on the net comparing prices for hydro supplies, jumping from major pet store A, to major pet store B, when I found a website named Fish.com. There is some insanely cheap items here! Worth looking into I think. Also worth noting, they have activated carbon. 1/2 Gallon is like 7.99 and there is a 54 oz for around 8.40ish. Hydometer/Thermometer 8 inch for 6.29. PH test kits for under 7 bucks. Etc, you'll just have to surf around. There is also PH balancers, one automatically sets your water to 6.5 for like 4 bucks. The pumps, hoses, and connectors are dirt cheap though. For example. Working on a bubble bucket type DWC system. So I found: 2 Bubble Bar 5 Inch 0.78 3 Plastic T-Valves 0.57 1 Plastic Check Valve Single Pack 0.59 1 Air Pump 10-15 Gallon Tank 2.39 1 Black Airline 25 ft 2.99 Total $: 7.32 Total Product $: 7.32 Shipping: 6.57 Sales Tax: 0.00 Grand Total $: 13.89 Not bad for some basic stuff. Just wanted to share this find if you havent found it yet. Also, anyone know a good cheap site for Rockwool, rocks, and net pots? Update after placing order: I placed a order for the listed items. They send E-mail confirmation fast, as well as an additional E-mail when they have shipped yours order. I'll do another update on how fast shipping is when I get the package.
