Where you get fish supplies in bulk?

Usually first time I got fish tank as set from Petsmart 39 now front with all accessories and stand for $100
After that we got filter cartridge, fish decorations, and fish food from amazon which is cheaper than Walmart, Petsmart, Petco in my experience. Some decorations I ordered from China, too.
I got free 1 tank and 1 low price used tank from individual as well.

Now I am searching more supplies, found chewy to be better price for water jet power head, heater, etc. some water conditioner even better price, too.

I even more greedy lol
How/where every body get supplies?

I try to find good price water ph buffer, and probably filter cartridge, water conditioner, fishFood etc.

and where you get affordable live food, daphnia , worm????

Petsmart claim my betta tank ph 6.4 is no good need to be 7. I do believe because I put Indian almonds leaves for each one of them, I have 9 in same 30 gallon tank. I don’t want to take the leaves off, my bettas love making bubble under the leaves. I have only male bettas not intended to breed them, bettas breeding seems to be lot of work to me.
And my guppy tank is fine ph 7.0

I live in Gaithersburg MD.

 

I look for good DIY ideas, try to buy the largest quantities I think I'll use to get a better price, and I raise up almost all my fry to sell a lot to the LFS.

There are some suppliers that charge lower prices, but in my opinion being careful about what you buy does more good than worrying about who you buy it from.

I have two DIY brine shrimp hatcheries going all the time. The hatchers are each made out of two 2-liter pop bottles, no cost. For the price of 36 inches of airline tubing and a dollop of aquarium sealant, you can make a great brine shrimp hatcher. I'll bet the actual cost is pennies. Yes, they do wear out after a year or two, so then I have to spend another 12 cents or so to make a new one.

I recently saw a great video by Aquarium Coop about making big fry traps. You use a pond basket from a home store, basically a 2.5 gallon cube with holes in it, which costs $2.98 cents, along with some foam cylinders that cost 2.99 cents for 20 feet. I bought four of the pond baskets and some packs of the foam, and so far I'm only using one of them. It cost me a less the six buck to add a 2.5 G tank to my 20's to hold fry, or to put in breeders, etc. I don't like breeder baskets because they're too small. These pond baskets are huge compared to the little breeder boxes you can buy.

Instead of buying charcoal cartridges for filters, I buy jars of charcoal, and use it sparingly. I don't use charcoal unless I have a water quality problem, or I'm trying to remove medications. I used to have HOB filters and bought new cartridges periodically. I'm saving lots not routinely buying charcoal filter media.

I have five lines of guppies going right now, with 23 tanks. I have a cichlid to help with culling, but as my lines breed more true, I cull less and less. I keep the best specimens for breeding, but also concentrate on growing out the culls for sale to the LFS. I get a fair price for store credit, which has gone up since I'm always providing high quality stock that's better than what's available from his supplier. I have a running credit balance so I can buy whatever I want from the LFS and it doesn't cost anything out of pocket.
