For some DIY projects, like drop checkers, various diameters of clear acrylic plastic tubes are useful. And, acrylic disks that will fit either the ID or OD of the tubes are also useful. I can buy these at my local TAP Plastic store, but only in 4 foot lengths, for tubing, and in a very limited number of sizes for the disks. Selling the tubes in 6 inch lengths could be very good.

Even at Walmart, suction cups are overpriced for what a simple device they are. I would definately like to see some suction cups at a good price.

As for the thread, I believe that most sewing shops carry 100% cotton thread. To explain this, I'll first have to admit that I dabble in my wife's crafts and hobbies as well as my own... True, the normal sewing thread is usually a polyester blend, but cross stitch thread comes in 100% cotton, as well as linen, does well in the aquarium, and is easy to come by. Oregonaqua can't hope to compete with a lifetime supply of cotton thread for $0.25 per scein in an inexhaustible rainbow of colors.

just wanted to let anyone whos watching this know that my first order went in today. should have it soon.

i found a source for those suctions cups. have to make a min $50 purchase to get them. but they also have nice power heads and pumps so that will be my second order. they also have the newer magnetic holders i thought where pretty trick if anyone is interested.

as for the reflecters i have had no luck.

ok some have noticed my sig. was removed. i wasnt aware that i couldnt advertise my company name. i also took my sig off at the other forums i post at just in case. i want to appoligize to APC for missing that on their rules. but it did bring to my attention that i could become a sponser. i think i will do that. i enjoy this forum alot!

any more ideas i would appreciate. i will try to get it on my next orders.

Oregon Aqua - 2 ideas for you.
1. How about you putting your store link in your signature line?
2. How about some type of weight to hold anubias down. (I want it resting on substrate or rock and don't want to glue it.)

oregon aqua

to be honest i have been trying to find APC rules about what i can or cant have in my sig. i have 2 websites www.oregonaquadesign.com and www.oregonaquadesign.vstore.ca the first is not my store just my website with a link to my store. but im not sure if i can post either in my sig. i need to contact a moderator and ask what i can do and why my thread shows up in trash bin on "my apc"

as for the weights i can get nice thin lead "string" that can be rapped around roots. i have used it a couple of times. its for fishing.

Many of us use a club or store logo in our signature. See mine, for example. You can add it to your signature just like you add a picture to a post. It won't be clickable that way, but with the right html you can make it clickable.

This is a little out there, as it would require some extra work.
You could consider selling fert ingredients. I know there are quite a few shipping regulations concerning that. I also know that guys like Rexx are selling them, so I don't want to detract from him, but Greg Watson seemed to have the "little stuff" like you're planning on. You'd go to Greg and get some fish nets, two syringes, 5' of tubing, and a bunch of fertilizer.
When I think of guys like Rexx, I think of buying a whole new CO2 setup... and I guess I'll get some ferts while I'm at it. Maybe this isn't the impression other people have, so I could be misleading you.

Could it be a problem with your computer? I have the S.A.P.S. banner under my name in my signature. Is it visible to anyone else?

cs_gardener

Hoppy, I can see your banner.

Oregon aqua, I'm looking forward to seeing what you carry in your store. You'll let us know when your shipment comes in and you've updated your site, right?
