I just bought over 140 dollars worth of stuff off of big al's. I got a fluval 304 (which is pretty hefty) an emperor biowheel filter, a rena air pump, air tubing, de-chlorinator, alot of fish food, a 150 watt ebo jagger heater, stress zyme, and a freshwater master test kit, and I only spent $135.02 and the shipping was $10.95. That is an extremely good shipping price, I was prepared to spend 20 dollars shipping on the fluval alone..
and the fluval was 70 at bigals, I saw it for 130 at petco, no joke. Plus no tax from big als, woulda cost me 2x at petco :\
