Another Reeftopia order?

[captexas]

I am in need of some stuff again from Reeftopia. I couldn't get in on the last order done by Alex as I was out of town. I am up to $60 for what I want. Anyone else interested in ordering anything?

[captexas]

After looking at the site, it doesn't appear that it affects the shipping as long as it is in that quantity. Only the 45lb. box of sand and the live rock are handled differently I think.

[oceancube]

okay, well if will help out ill take a encrusting gorgonian($18), let me know, i might go in on some snails as well!!! let me know

[oceancube]

opps my fault, i meant($18)!!! :grin:

[kaiser]

put me down for 2 neon gobies and 1 pygmy angel $30 total
Kai

[kaiser]

Did this order get placed?

[captexas]

Not yet. As there are a few other group orders going on currently we are not in a hurry to do this one. Possibly next week or so. I think Alex has already talked to the good people at Reeftopia and he may handle the order.

[alexwolf]

im game for next week, yall just let me know!!!! Maybe we can get a big enough order to get a slight discount.

[oceancube]

okay sounds good, next week =more money, just let us know alex or capt, thanks!!!

[txyaloo]

I'm in for:
Pederson Cleaner Shrimp $10
Neon Gobi x 2 $9
$29 total

Those cleaners look pretty cool...

[alexwolf]

They seem to be out on their website, unless you know something i dont. Also, they show to be an Anenome shrimp and $12. Is there one on another page?

[captexas]

Alex -
It is listed on the page that I think is listed as the rare and unusual page. Probably have to talk to Edie to see if they are available as they are not a regular item and make sure the price is still the same as that page on their site hasn't been updated in a long time.

[kaiser]

Different names for the same thing.

[captexas]

Yeah, I just looked at both listings and they both show the same latin/scientific name. As the main shrimp page is the most up to date I would assume they are out of stock.

[Jenn]

I want one of those Pederson Cleaner Shrimp for $10 in txyaloo's above post. Is it too late to join in???
That is a cool looking shrimp!!!!

[captexas]

Jenn - please check out the previous posts. Their website shows that they are out of stock on that item.

[Jenn]

Darn, just read the entire topic...seems they are out???

[Jenn]

:oops:

[alexwolf]

UPDATE: They are completely out of the shrimp, but hopefully with the extra time they have this week due to holidays, the divers have extra time to collect, so i amn shooting to place the order there on Monday for Tues delivery.

[alexwolf]

try to get me your final orderes by Monday morning! Thanks!

[captexas]

I'm in on Josh's half of the turbo snails. I will confirm the rest of what I want to order soon.

[kaiser]

My final order
2 neon gobies $18
1 pygmy angel $12
48 nassarius snails $30
total $60

If somebody wants to go half on a 48 Nassarius Snail I would be interested.

[oceancube]

okay alexwolf here's my order: nerite snails 12 for $10
1 encrusting gorgonian $18, and josh i would like to go half on the other half if you still want to, let me know, so 25 each or so!!! let me know!!!i rather pay $10 for 25 instead of 12, you know what i mean!!!!thanks guys

[alexwolf]

you guys are confusing me, half this and half that, so one order of 100? The gold astreas?

[captexas]

1 order of 100 turbo snails. I was spliting it with Josh and I guess he is splitting his half with Rudy. It needs to be split 25/25/50 (Rudy/Josh/me-Chris). They will do it if you ask them. I'm still debating on what else I want :-)

[alexwolf]

Oh yeah, i nominate myself as the "group order-er" its sad that reeftopia knows my name 8)

[captexas]

They should be a Maast sponsor with all the orders we have done through them. I have done one, Josh has done atleast one, the Austin guys have done one or two and you have ordered from them. Lots of our money spent with them for sure.

[alexwolf]

i got it, we stll need a bit more, waiting on caps final order

[kaiser]

how much more do we need?

[alexwolf]

i think we should be ok after cap......i did have you down for 48 nassarius and you changed to 12

[kaiser]

Yes I know I was hoping somebody was going in with me on half of 48 nassarius snails.

[Yves Nobleza]

I've got a few of those (pendersons) but have never seen any that look that nice...thats a really outstanding one...most I've seen are mostly clear with some purple striping on the legs and small purple patches on the body...wish mine looked that good :evil:

[alexwolf]

you have them at your house or the store?

[Yves Nobleza]

My house...might be one at the store though I saw it today, call me tomorow and I'll look for it.

[alexwolf]

hey are you there tomorrow? Am is going to come get some cyclop tomorrow, what are you hours?

[Yves Nobleza]

12-5 man and I'll be there

[oceancube]

i think they close at 5pm tommorrow!!! hope im right!!! im gonna beat you there and buy all of it...watch!!!

[captexas]

Hey now, leave some for me! lol

[GaryP]

Yea, Rudy needs a 20 yr. supply of Cyclop-eeze. Or is he trying to corner the market and buy it all up?

Gary

[oceancube]

LOL(gary), nah im just kidding alex, i think i have enough to donate some to everyone here :lol: , very good stuff i think!!!!

[captexas]

Alex -
Ok, here's what I would like (had a hard time making up my mind!):

- splitting the order of 100 turbo snails as mentioned earlier with Josh/Rudy ($20 my share)
- 48 pack of Nassarius snails ($30)

My late, deceased chocolate tang ate my nice gorgonian I got from them last time. I'll take a free one of those if they have them! lol 8)

[alexwolf]

thats all? Those gorgonians are VERY nice you should get one

[captexas]

LOL, yes they are nice, but they are $18. It's a good price, just I'm trying to only buy what I need right now, especially after setting up this calcium reactor. Think people will understand that instead of buying Xmas presents for them I spent money on my tank? lol :scold:

[oceancube]

alex ill take another harlequin serpentstars if i can still!!!!thanks

[oceancube]

so is it still monday for tuesday or what!!!!

[alexwolf]

thats what im shooting for, as long as we get enough

[Jenn]

I'd like to get in on this one too, but like Captx said, I'm also spending too much $$$ on tank.
Really want to get out of this dog house I'm in. :roll2:

[GaryP]

Jenn,

Just let your hubby get some new palms and you'll be back out of the dog house. See, I know how this works.

Gary

[Jenn]

:lol2:

[alexwolf]

Rudy, got your star!!!

[Am]

Just got home from Texas tropical in search of the Penderson cleaner. Im not sure if you guys were aware, but the Penderson shrimp a.k.a anemone shrimp is soooo tiny, like the size of a pinky finger nail. Anyways one of the guys there said that there was one somewhere but never did find it due to the size I guess. He said they are rarely as beautiful lookin as the picture posted here :( and even if it is you never see it!! Oh well.

[captexas]

Yeah, I would imagine you would have a hard time finding them locally, not a big seller. Of course online companies are going to show pics of the best looking specimen they can find. Live Aquaria always posts on their site that the one you receive may not look exactly like what is pictured.

[manny]

hey rudy, how many harlequins do you have ??

[captexas]

Alex - If you order for Tuesday delivery, I won't be able to get my stuff until late in the afternoon/early evening as I have to go to Luling. Wednesday and Thursday I will be in town though. Just let me know what you decide on the order. Thanks.

[alexwolf]

Hey Cap i will hold your snails for you, no prob. I am off on Tues, which is why i wanted delivery for then.

[captexas]

ok, no problem then. do we have enough stuff ordered?

[alexwolf]

yeah we are fine! Any last min orders from anyone? Im going to get it in tonite.

[Yves Nobleza]

This is what those shrimp usually look like.

[Sherri]

I may be in for this order....let me look things over & let you know....

[beareef19]

Alex, 12 Nassarius Snails, and12 Ivory Cerith Snails,please. See you on Tue Thanks Barry

[manny]

awesome lookin little fish. you got it from reeftopia?

[txyaloo]

yeah - they were out of neon gobies and alex got those subbed in instead. i picked up two of them and I think they were $9. i've been seeing posts on reefcentral where they hitchike on tbs rock sometimes, but otherwise they're not collected that often.

[alexwolf]

i thought they were pretty cool litte guys.......i sure wouldnt mind a pair hitchhiking on my rocks!!!
