Fair price for 5lb tank and Milwaukee reg?

Jaguar · 06-09-2012, 03:17 AM

New recently hydrostat 5lb tank and Milwaukee regulator

I don't think I'm being offered anything less than full retail price but... who knows what kind of monstrosity that price is in Canada honestly

ah that is the kit with the ph controller, this is just the reg/bubble counter/solenoid/needle valve or whatever kit.

i don't think GLA will ship to canada

Their website says they do.

I bought a 10lb from http://www.aquariumplants.com as it was the cheapest price+shipping I could find. They also sell the Milwaukee reg a little cheaper than at http://www.jlaquatics.com in BC. I like to ship to cross border shipping depots in the US then drive down for pickup for heavy items as shipping prices to Canada can be crazy as I'm sure you know

Thanks Complexity!! I don't think it would be worth it to have a big tank shipped here though :/ apparently you can't ship them full so I am thinking about just getting a nice regulator and buying a cheap tank locally.

Thanks hamato. I do live close to the border but unfortunately I don't drive and so have no way to get down to pick stuff up.
