[shrimp134]

Ok, I think I have decided to get my first 2 perc's here on swf.com since they are on sale for 14.99...and I hear you have to spend atleast 75bucks to order..so what else should I get..I know I should get a nice test kit...maybe something for ick..just incase i never need it...anything else that i could get to help me get to 75bucks...remember i am only 15 and really low on the cash...Thanks alot~!

How about getting a clean-up crew, like some hermit crabs, snails and a shrimp or two. Having a good test kit is a very smart thing to do, you dont want your water parameters to get out of control, or you could lose everything you have!
You could also try finding someone who lives near you, where you guys could split the 75 dollar limit.
Just a few ideas.

I am pretty sure the $75 has to be in livestock, not a combo of both, it has to do with the cost of shipping overnight packages.

The $75 has to be in livestock. I would get snails and shrimp if I were you. Maybe some cleaners or pep's. Maybe a sally.
Just some thoughts.

Ok, so I cant get a test kit...I have to spend 75 bucks on LIve Stock..! WOw....no................

It sucks but if your LFS tests water you can have them test it until you can save enough to get the test kit.

That is dumb..but can I order dry goods of SWF.com and not have a minimum of 75$ purchase!

 

[booya]

Right the min is only on Livestock. They do have good livestock.

 

[shrimp134]

Wait wait wait...so I can order dry goods ...like say some test kit...and not have to spend 75bucks?

 

[booya]

Right you just have to pay shiping.

 

[shrimp134]

How much is shipping usually?
:happy:

 

[stapler]

Shipping live products cost a lot more money to ship than dry goods. For one they dont have to be shipped immediately, and they dont require special containers and what not.

 

[shrimp134]

thanks for the info. Stapler..appreciated Here!!!:jumping:

 

[shrimp134]

Hmm Maybe...I have a 175w Mh Pendant...10k ushio gas hamilton bulb...but my question is can I just buy one test kit and i would just have to pay for shipping right>?

I am going to order a Black and White perc when they are available on this site along with a regular one they are 35 bucks that should get your order higher.
They will be my first fish ever.
Sounds like you are in the same boat I am.
