Nice frags & softies

[MikeP]

Josh - I had actually been looking at this site at work today. I may go in on it with you - have to pay tuition and pay for truck repairs but should have enough to cut down on costs.

Also before you order check out www.northstarcorals.com SawJack has amazing corals too and I know he has good prices on package deals.

Also www.reefscience.com has nice frags.

Let me know what you are doing I will at least go in for 3 or 4 frags.

[alexwolf]

i want some zoo's!!!!!

[::pete::]

I'll go in

[Tim Marvin]

Joshua, the prices are for 1-1.5 inch frags! Way too high. We can get 50 full sized acro's for that price, and end up with some of the so called rare morphs. Although I would like one of the Tyree purple monsters.

Josh,
If you do place a order from spsfrags or NSC I will go in on a few. Just let me know a day or two before. As I only have access to spsfrags from work.

My computer is ****ing me off :evil:
For some reason I can not look a some web sights. spsfrags.com and nano-reefs.org just give me "Cannot find server error". I have been back and forth between dell and roadrunner several times. I uninstalled norton. Roadrunner had me go through all the settings trying different things. After a couple of hours they said that the problem is the network card. Dell had me try some stuff then pinged my network card and said it is working fine.

[::pete::]

Either way you go I an still interested.

[MikeP]

Josh - I am going to order a few zoo colonies - still undecided if I want to go full blown sps in my new tank or not so may hold off on those.


Adam - it sounds like you either have cached DNS entries for those sites or you have a route somewhere overrriding your dns. I'd renew your ip, make sure you don't have a LMhosts file by chance, also check your DNS servers and if need be enter them manually instead of letting DNS find them.

Hmm also see if you can hit any of the sites by IP instead of resolved name - for instance spsfrags.com is 65.135.235.162. If you ping that and get a reply then its a DNS/Name server problem. If you can't even ping it then either they have ICMP replies turned off or you are not routing to that network.

You can check what server it is looking at for the problem sites by doing a NSLOOKUP and then typing in the domain name you want -

Also you may want to clear you browser cache and flush your dns files Ib believe the command is IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS .

doing a IPCONFIG /ALL will tell you what name servers you are using (wins/dns) and gateway, network etc. There is also a possibility that you have your IP address masked incorrectly - you may have a class B masked as a class c thus cutting off certain IPs that may be part of the larger whole.

If all this sounds like gobbledegook sorry I am (or was anyways) a network troubleshooter in the real world - if you need help feel free to give me a ring or shoot me a PM I'll try and help.

[adaminaustin]

Josh,
I do not mind the drive. Actually I am starting to feel sick. I guess I will have to call in at work. ;)

Mike,
I did clear the cach. Roadrunner had me try spsfrags by their IP address.
When I get home I will mess w/ it some more. You might be getting a call from me if all else fails.

Thanks,
Adam

[adaminaustin]

Joshua,

Saw this place on a thread at Reefs.org. Thought it might be worth a look.

Jim,

Thanks for the offer, but I have no room right now. :(

I am in the process of getting the new 135 show up and running and need to get it going before I get any new livestock. ;)

[::pete::]

Hopefully Im not late .... z31-18
z39-18

[adaminaustin]

Joshua,

I did edit my order.

Thanks again,
Adam

[MikeP]

Pete can have the z31, I'll pass on the seritapora if you think you can frag off a piece of your saramentosa for me.

[MikeP]

I went home for lunch about 8pm and put everything in the tank after a 5 hour drip acclimation. Looks good so far - going to give them a week near bottom of tank and then start moving them up. I'm psyched about the stylophora frag it looks like it could grow into a really spectacular colony.

Thanks again for letting us tag along on the order Josh.

-MP

[adaminaustin]

Thanks a ton Joshua!
The frags all look good. Thanks for the Seriatopora Calendrum frags they should take off. I am also stoked about the pink w/green polyp Millepora. The polyps are already out and it has meny branches, I think this will form a really nice colony one day.

[adaminaustin]

I dont have a cam.
Each now and then my friend stopes by with a camera.
He should stop by sometime in the next few weeks.

[adaminaustin]

Wow the p&g milli is looking awsome this morning when the lights came on. talk about polyp extension.

The green stylophora on the other hand is not showing any polyp extension. I hope it starts to brighten up a little over the next few weeks.

[mathias]

could you guys please leave some feedback on how this order went?

[adaminaustin]

I was really happy w/ the order.

The blue tipped Tizardi did RTN. On the second night about the time the lights go off I noticed. Just a tiny bit on the bottom. By the next morning the fleshy part was most of the way off.
I could have got credit if I e-mailed them back by the third day. I did not want to go up to work to get the address. For some reason the sight does not work on my home computer. :cry:

I got 4 different colors of zoos on the one frag. :)
My Pink w/ green Milli is really nice. It never has looked Pink and green though, more like orange and green.
The green stylophora looks really good. It has nice polyp extension.

I agree with Joshua though. Expensive.

Oh yeah,
Welcome to MAAST

[mathias]

hate to use this thread to ask but where would you recommend I get some frags for someone who is just starting out with a 55gal for a good price?

[adaminaustin]

You can post in the Want to buy forum.
Sometimes people sale frags on the for sale forum.
You just missed this months meeting, it was last weekend. Members will take frags to sale and trade.
I was all bumbed something came up and I could not go. :(

Other than that just go to stores and look. You never know when you will find a good deal or a really nice color. :D

[mathias]

well I know the next meeting in houston. I hope the following meeting is in San Antonio I will go to that one.

[mathias]

You know that sounds great so I guess Ill do a search and see when san antonio meeting is...

[mathias]

Maybe I can convice my boss that Im out advertising for my community to a group of home buyers that enjoy fish. :)
