KittenFishMom Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I was putting together an order at Aquarium CoOp last night and was just 8 cents short of getting free shipping. I wondered what you would add to your order to push you up over the free shipping mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 3ml pipette, use for feeding out baby brine shrimp or filling water test tubes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 there is almost always something cheap you can use. in situations like that, i usually end up spending way too much time searching for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_G Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 @KittenFishMom, I know how you feel. The retail store gives one free package of frozen food for purchases over $100. It seems like I’m always at $94. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'd just add another pack of food or a plant as long as it's cheaper than the actual shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac M Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Fish Food - Xtreme krill flake or nano pellets or sinking wafers Shot Glass - I use it to defrost frozen foods Coarse Filter Sponge - I cut it and also use it as an algae scrubber for glass aquariums Meds - Just in case Airline Connectors (airstones included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using a small tupperware for this- but I might have to use a shotglass instead! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A sticker that I don't have, or one of the Ziss air stones. Cheap but not more than what shipping would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at those too. ACO if a dangerous place to shop, it is all such good stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Last time I ordered, I got an extra air stone for that purpose. I'd been occasionally adding an airline tube without a stone to a tank, but the BLUB-BLUB-BLUB makes whatever container it's in vibrate rather fiercely. A mere air stone makes it still. I guess there are quite a few things it can't hurt to have 1 extra of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'd probably pick up a plant or sticker I don't have yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Zizz air stones reminded me that last time I needed to buy one after searching online (3 lfs didn't have any) I ended up buying a pack of 6 from somewhere that didn't charge postage rather than buying a single and paying postage. The end prices were to close. So I now have bubbles sorted for years with my single airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
