Tri-color acropora

[Tim Marvin]

Anyone interested in getting a box? I would need to buy about 25-30 and they would cost about $30 each with the shipping.... These are regular size acro's about the size of your fist, or a baseball. I could also add any other livestock you may want, but I don't have holding space for a lot of stuff anymore so you'd have to pick up soon.

[theedprado]

sure, ill pitch in. when will they get in?

[werp]

Count me in.

[Tim Marvin]

I need to get at least 25 so when we get to that number I'll order. This is not a bulk coral order these are full sized tricolors. They are $25 each wholesale plus about $5 for the shipping. LFS cost would probably be in the $60-$70 range if you ever saw one there.

[cpreefguy]

cpreefguy is in

[theedprado]

Tim, are you going to keep any, or do you need to sell them all?

[dan203]

im down, wheres a site i can see pics at?

[SaltyJim]

I'd like one.

Tim, what other livestock does this vendor have available?

[dan]

i'll take one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you say tri color, what are the colors?

[scuba_steveo]

count me in!

[Salty]

I am in for one!

[alexwolf]

count me in too......

[christerrell2k3]

throw me in also.

[theedprado]

i'll take a bunch if we need to get the order in on sunday or monday

[Tim Marvin]

Tri colored, purple, green, orange, yellow, blue??????? I need the money up front before I order.

[Tim Marvin]

I'll keep a couple also. I can get them on a friday and everyone can show at one place on Saturday, then we can take turns picking... That way it will work out fair. Also if there is a rare colored piece we could frag it so everyone will get a small piece of it.

[Tim Marvin]

The other thing we could do is have everyone pay for 2, each person can pick one colony and we frag the rest to split them up that way...? Just an idea.

[alexwolf]

Yikes, I cant afford to pay for 2........

[GaryP]

Tim,

Count me in on the tricolor. I lost mine when I moved last year and haven't seen one since then. I sure miss my old LFS.

Gary

[dan203]

tim are they in today ,our do you mean next friday?

[RobertG]

Next Friday Dan, Tim I will go for two & frags of the others. That sounds awesome! Come on everyone, I have seen the ones in the past, the colonies are nice in size.

[werp]

I will go with the buy 2 and frag.

[NaCl_H2O]

Tim, I would really like to join in but ... I'm setting up my new system with MHs and still months from a stable setup. My old system is only PCs which I assume won't keep these going.

Maybe I can join in and someone could babysit :grin: my pieces until my sytem is runing?

Thx - Steve

[GaryP]

Tim,

Do you ever see any Torts? I would love to get a frag off of a nice colony. I would even go for a whole colony if the price was right. Of course the problem with ordering "rare" corals is that you never get the color morph that you are expecting. I have seen some of the rare corals sites like reeffarmers.com where they have people signing up for frags through 2008.

Gary

[RobertG]

Steve I will hold whatever you would like, I live close to Tim. I also have lots of room for them to grow. :-D

[NaCl_H2O]

Steve I will hold whatever you would like, I live close to Tim. I also have lots of room for them to grow. :-D

Thanks Robert!

Ok, count me in for two, one+frags, or two+frags (up to three "slots" ... whatever the group decides to do?

PM me for how to get the money to you next week if it looks like you will place an order.

Thx - Steve

[alexwolf]

Hey Steve, if Robert cant I Will hold them for you

[Tim Marvin]

Alex, we'll keep you in at 1. I just needed to get the numbers up so we can complete this order for next Friday. I forgot about Roberts tank as a holding set up... I see if he wouldn't mind doing it.

Steve, Baby sitting fee will probably be one frag.....Although robert may have the same coral and it would make no difference..LOL...

Cool! looks like it will be a go. How does everyone want to pay? I no longer have the CC machine so we'll have to do cash, check, PayPal.

[alexwolf]

Thanks! also, is someone from SA going to pick them up? tim, count me in for paypal.

Looks like we have enough to order 25. Is 25 enough or do you guys want 30? Anone wanting more let me know.......

[RobertG]

Tim, No sweat! I will hold anything anyone needs to be held.

[Tim Marvin]

OK, I just put in an order for 30 tri-color. They should be here Friday 24th. They are $25 plus $5 shipping so the total is $30 per coral. I need collect the money in the next few days.

[scuba_steveo]

how? Paypal?

[Tim Marvin]

paypal is fine tamcfa@hotmail.com
send $30 for each one you want. I think paypal charges $1.50 for each transaction also.

[Salty]

Can someone from San Antonio pick mine up??

[alexwolf]

i was wondering the same thing, is someone from SA going? If not, I can go Sunday............

JRHein,
After Wed. 22nd if I have not received payment it is too late.

[wkopplin]

I did not see this, Tim, I would like two please. I'll send a paypal tomorrow.

[Tim Marvin]

I ordered a couple extra, just because I knew you'd want some....I was kinda wondering when you were going to pipe in...LOL....PayPal $31.50 for each one you want.

[wkopplin]

Been real busy at work, so have not been around much. Might take three of them. I am in San Diego until Saturday, so Sunday will have to be the pickup date, unless someone from SA can hold them for a day.

[Tim Marvin]

OK, just PayPal the $94.50 and RObert will have them waiting for you.

[SaltyJim]

Hey Tim,

I was able to get away from the computer this weekend and have just gotten back. Got your PM, and will send money ASAP.

Thanks for doing this order!

Jim

[RobertG]

Hi All, I like others Thank Tim for doing this order. As most know Tim has downsized his setup & no longer has the room to hold livestock. I will be holding any of the acros that cannot be picked up immediatly. I do not mind doing this for anyone, however I will not accept any responsibility for anything that might happen to them. I hope this sounds fair. My tank is thriving & I do not foresee any issues, just want it to be known. Let me know if I will be holding anything for anyone else. I will be available Sunday for pickups for those who will be down for the meeting.

Thanks Again Tim,

Robert

[Tim Marvin]

At this point, we still have 12 extra. 6 are spoken for but not paid. Does anyone else want in before Robert and I keep them?

[Tim Marvin]

You guys are all welcome, but we should also thank theedprado! If you'll notice he stepped up to the plate and ensured this order going through. I can't place orders unless we do at least 75-100 lbs in shipping weight to make it a good savings for us. His order is probably around 360lbs all by itself! Ed, thank you! You made this order happen for the group.

[MikeDeL]

Man sure wish I could have one..... and I feel sorry for the poor FedEx guy having to heft that order around. LOL


Mike

[Tim Marvin]

We couldn't afford them If I had to FedEx them!!! They are coming to the airport. LOL.....I'm going to be the FedEx guy....

[NaCl_H2O]

And another thanks to Tim and everyone dishing out the $$$ to make this happen!

So, are we fragging out some of the order? Tim, I sent a PM that I would take another $30 portion of frags if slots are still available, but will need to mail another $30 later this week.

Also, send my two (or two + frags?) with the group to SA, I'm going to use the services of a local Acropora babysitter :-D

Thx - Steve

[Tim Marvin]

LOL, no problem. They'll be in good hands with Dan.

[Tim Marvin]

Also forgot to mention I am getting 4 extra cans of cyclopeeze if anyone is interested. Freeze dried 30g can $10.

[scuba_steveo]

Yes, I would like one.
I am going to Paypal you the cash right now.

[alexwolf]

I want cyclopeeze too, paypaling you the cash tim. Did we ever figure out who from SA is going up????

[SaltyJim]

Hey Tim,

If you need help picking up the order at the airport, let me know. I can take off from work anytime, with enough notice.

Jim
565-7114

[Salty]

I will give up a few bucks fro gas if someone will bring mine back...

[alexwolf]

im just wondering if I need to plan a trip for Sunday after church.....

[jrhein]

If someone can pick mine up that would be great. I can pay by frag or give them some money to whom ever picks them up.

Thanks

Jason

[Tim Marvin]

We'll see what time they come in on Friday... Thanks.

[alexwolf]

I dont get off until 6 on Friday, which makes me pretty late back in SA. I get off at 6 on Saturday too. I can come Sunday and get SA's order if needed. But, thats only if someone else isnt going up there first :) I can hold SA's order also, my tank is near empty.

[Tim Marvin]

Scuba Steveo, what is your last name? I got a PayPal today and no screen name on it so I am not exactly sure who paid.

[alexwolf]

Krauskopf.

[Tim Marvin]

That is what I thought, I had it narrowed down to two screen names and I was leaning toward Steveo... Thank you Alex..

[alexwolf]

did you get mine for the cyclop?

[BIGBIRD123]

Tim,
I just sent the Paypal. Thanks for the super work putting this order together. Glad to finally get in on one of these group orders.

Thanks again,
Steve

[dan203]

i want some cyclopeeze

[Tim Marvin]

Dan, do you want to bring the money by for the cyclopeeze when you bring the money for the acropora tomorrow? The deadline was today, but I have it covered for now. $60 for the acros and $10 for the cyclopeeze. Total is $70.

[Tim Marvin]

Oh, I'll have 3 six lined wrasse also.$12 each

[RobertG]

Tim, I'll take the other cyclopeeze.

[Tim Marvin]

Robert, I have you down.

[wkopplin]

If someone can pick mine up on Sunday for me I would greatly appreciate it. I am in San Diego until Sunday morning and cannot get to Austin. Tim, just sent the paypal. Had to go to Houston and did not get a chance until tonight. Leave for San Diego tomorrow morning. Put me down for three if you have them.

[Tim Marvin]

Done! Thanks.

[Tim Marvin]

Everyone please look at the list and make sure you have the correct number and credit down. If it is marked anything other than Paid and a number you have not paid yet or it is in the mail and I have not received it..... If anything is incorrect please let me know...

[Tim Marvin]

Dan, and Dan203, you still in on this? If not I will release the last 3 to the group again....

[Tim Marvin]

Updated list:

1)theedprado-----Paid X 5 ---350lbs of Tonga branch rock---Paid

[alexwolf]

Tim, can you keep the SA order until Sunday? If not, I can try to get off early on Friday night. I work until 6, so I guess I would be there around 8. Let me know. If anyone else from SA is going up there, let me know. Thanks! Also, i will call Dan tomorrow to see if he still wants in.

[jrhein]

I can't go up till about that time. I can go get them, but I wouldn't put anyone elses into my tank. It hasn't been running that long and wouldn't want to harm anyone elses coral.

[Tim Marvin]

Wow! I'm glad the site is finally back up... Sure, Robert can hold anyones acro for a while, but it is at your own risk. You may snap him a little frag also for baby sitting. You can always get an inch frag off the back or bottom that will never be missed. I'm going to give him little frags of mine. Just an idea.

[alexwolf]

But you didnt answer my question, to avoid them going into Roberts tank, should I come friday after work?? And, who from SA wants me to bring theirs back?

[cpreefguy]

Hey alexwolf, could you get mine?

[alexwolf]

The earliest I could leave is probably 430 tomorrow evening. Tim, let me know if this is ok. I really dont want mine to be acclimated to someone elses tank, then to mine in a few days. Spells trouble for me........i dont wanna have it die.

[alexwolf]

I would be glad to get everyones from SA, as long as I get a frag of something cool :D Maybe a few bucks for gas from some......

[alexwolf]

well guys, im going to get some sleep. ITs been a rough week. If Tim OK's the time I can go, PM me if you want me to get your order.

[cpreefguy]

ok, another quick question, Since some colonies are going to be totally fragged out, can I just get my colony in frag form (it would be easier because Im splitting my colony with rocketeer)

[dan203]

yes tim im still in, PLEASE SAVE AT LEAST 1 FOR me. HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY AT WORK

[alexwolf]

Order wont be in around 1AM. I will go up there tomorrow afternoon. Everyone still want me get theirs?

[alexwolf]

Ok, these are the people that I am picking up for. If someone else wants me to get theirs, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOON. I will be going up tomorrow afternoon.

I noticed there were some other from SA on the list, let me know if I need to bring them back. thanks!

[dan203]

when were they going to be here?

[alexwolf]

sometime around 1130-1AM tonight

[dan203]

late, tim call me when you get them if its cool ill come tonight(if its not to late)

[RobertG]

So Alex are we suppose to leave yours in the bag & box? Or can they go into my tank. Just let us know. I will be available after 3pm tomorrow.

[alexwolf]

I dont know yet, waiting for Tim to call back. I was hoping not to acclimate them to a tank, then get acclimated again.

[Tim Marvin]

They will be here at 10:50 tonight. I'll have them at RobertG's around 11:45 if anyone wants to pick up tonight you can come to the airport, or Robert's.

[jrhein]

OK. Does anyone know if the San Antonio order will be driven down tonight or in the morning?

[Tim Marvin]

Dan203, what is the number you want me to call you on? I'll have them at 11:45.

[alexwolf]

Im going there 2 PM tomorrow for the SA order. I will call everyone on the wasy back. I was thinking we could all get together around the same time to trade frags to eahc other, that way we all get a bit of each!

[Tim Marvin]

Alex, the shipment came to the dock later than I had expected so we ended up putting them all into Roberts tank. They are looking great! 80% are putting the polyps out a few minutes after putting them in! We got purples, yellows, orange, and light green colors mixed on them!!! Looks like a good shipment! Give Robert a buzz tomorrow for pick-up. 512-825-8468 It is a lot better than they went into Roberts tank than the tubs I was going to use. His tank is really starting to grow acropora WELL!

[MikeDeL]

Those sound like they'll look pretty cool. Anyone interested in bringing a small frag to the meeting for me to buy?


Mike

[Tim Marvin]

Mike, I have a few extra that I can get frags off of.

[TAXMAN]

Tim. If you have a colony left over, I may take it off your hands. Just let me know. Or I can get a frag later from you if you still have any left. BTW. I need to get you this Pavona I have sometime. PM me.

[Tim Marvin]

None left..... I have some small frags.

[dan203]

tim, thank you very much, i threw my acros in and poypls came right out. The blue acro you gave me IS AWESOME, It even had a NICE maze brain colony on the side(which are already giveing out 1/2 inch tentilces). Thanks for evrything and putting together this order, i saw all the colonies and believe everyone will be extremely happy, i know i am.

[MikeDeL]

Anyone have pictures yet? Tim, put me down for a frag, how much?


Mike

[alexwolf]

i just got them acclimated, and after a long night of trading, they are pooped!!!! Ill post pics tomorrow. Thanks Tim!

[NaCl_H2O]

i just got them acclimated, and after a long night of trading, they are pooped!!!! Ill post pics tomorrow. Thanks Tim!

Alex, post pics of mine too :-D :-D PLEASE!

[NaCl_H2O]

Oh yea, Tim thanks for pulling this together, the Acropora I picked out is beautiful, and the Staghorn frag is MUCH appreciated :-D

Thx - Steve

[Tim Marvin]

I really like that stag! I took about a 1/2 inch frag off the original piece and plan to grow it out huge before fragging it again. Glad everyone is happy...

[alexwolf]

pics are posted!!!!!

[BIGBIRD123]

Tim,
Thanks for the great group order. I got two 1/2 colonies and a good frag and they look super. I welcome another order like this in the near future. If you would PM me with where you got this order from, I'd like to see what else they have.

Again, thanks,
Steve

[dan203]

[Tim Marvin]

www.erifish.com

[dan203]

cant find any items for sale

[alexwolf]

thats becaue they are a wholesaler. They dont have a "list" of things to buy. You must buy in bulk, and what they have depends on what they catch.
