try to get all your stuff at the same time from the same place to save on shipping.
Go to all the sites listed and write down how much each item you want costs. Then figure out the shipping. Some places will have cheaper items but more expensive shipping. If you play around a bit, you'll be able to put together the best "package".
Yeah, those on-line stores are like 1/2 the price, of the big chain stores as well. Literally, I have seen fish tank filters for $50 on line, and $125 in the store. So good thinking, getting it off line.
