Just an FYI, they changed the group buy process.

BRS group buy system. (Effective July 1st 2011)
We have a unique way of doing Group Buys at BulkReefSupply.com. Instead of requiring groups to place a single large order, we give each group buy participant individual access to our lowest prices. There are no purchase quantity or order size requirements. Each participant gets the lowest prices even if they only buy one item. Full details on the group buy system can be found
here
Due to the popularity of the group buy system here on Reef Central we have had to make a few changes to the group buy system to make sure it continues to be sustainable. It is important that the system is manageable and operated in a way that we can continue to offer it indefinitely.
•
Group buys in our forum on Clay Boah begin on the first Wednesday of every month and end on the following Monday. The lists here on CB have become rather large, so one of our lead customer service agents will be managing and collecting the information of CB members who wish to join a group buy. Jon will be the main contact for all group buys and can be reached at clay boah
•
All requests to join a group buy must be received on or before the first Monday of the month. Requests that come in after that will be added to the next month’s group buy.
• Full list of group buy guidelines can be found
If you would like to take part in an upcoming Clay Boah group buy, please take the following steps:
1. If you do not have one already create an account on bulkreefsupply.com . This is *critical*. If you do not create an account, we will be unable to upgrade your account to group buy pricing.
2. Send an email with the title This email should include your full name and email address used to create the account on bulkreefsupply.com. We require both of these items to insure we are upgrading the correct account.
Then what? Here is what will happen after you sign up:
• On the first Wednesday of the month, each participant will receive an email notifying them that the Group Buy has started. Participants can start buying as soon as they get this email. Please wait for this email before placing orders!
• During the group buy week, participants will login to their own account to place their own order, which ships immediately.
• At the end of the Group Buy, each participant's account will be changed to Preferred Customer. BRS Preferred Customer pricing is generally between our retail and group buy prices. This permanent upgrade is our way of saying thanks for getting your reef supplies with us!
