Anyone else getting the Box O' Crap?

tangboy · Mar 17, 2011

If I only had $20 to blow (plus shipping) I would order a couple of boxes just to see what came in it, but alas, I spend my "spending money" as soon as I get it :/

Magazines? I saw no magazines in the pics!

I got my box of crap yesterday. I opened it and saw a bunch of boxes inside. Jackpot, right?

Wrong. Here are the contents. I'm not upset with it, got some stuff I'll be using. But the PC bulbs are worthless to me. I'm going to try to use the light hood with some Ecoxotic led modules I have been planning to use in a fixture anyway.

What all was in there, kinda hard to tell in the pic?

Looks a lot like what I got:

- Quad PC bulbs
- Reg. type PC bulbs
- Salifert pellet food
- Pump nozzles
- Foam blocks
- a CAP pump from the looks of it
- Not sure what warner marine stuff you got...
- MH pendant enclosure

HA! I should order a BOC, I need PC bulbs!

Probably the only person who would actually be looking for PC bulbs. Have a PC fixture with a MH and I don't think I will be upgrading anytime real soon. I am a little concerned that you won't be able to get PC bulbs in the future so was thinking about getting enough to last me through 3 or 4 bulb changes. By that time I would probably be ready for an upgrade.

From what I've seen if you order two boxes you are getting the same stuff in both boxes. With it being such a long shot of getting anything really useful it doesn't seem like buying two of them is really worth it.

I did it because of the shipping. For the first box alone, it's a killer. Thought 20 extra bucks for an extra BOC was worth the gamble as the shipping didn't really increase much.
