Good morning, all.

Busy weekend and I think I missed about 25 pages.

Hoping you all have an "extra pep-in-your-step" kind of day! Is it, after all, 4/20.

Calling out all #Smorgasbordenablers ! I need some of your intellect. A few weeks ago I created a cart for my last five fish from Dr.Reef but didn’t want to buy them until I got home from vacation ( ones a CBB). That puts it high enough for free shipping. Checked yesterday and they now only have two of the five. That would mean I would have to pay shipping twice while I wait for the last three. The large 5yo part of me wants the CBB badly and says just do it. The tiny microscopic mature part of me says hold out and save money for other things. What you say?

I hate paying shipping so I would wait. Maybe they will have them back in stock when you get back from vacation. Maybe you can message them to see if they know when they will have them?

I say to give them a call, explain the situation, and see if they'll work out a deal if you wait.

I would wait. Paying for shipping twice, especially when it's not cheap isn't worth it to me imo
