Austin Clean Up Crew Order?

[BJanecka]

Is anyone in N. Austin and/or surrounding area planning on doing a large clean up crew order in the near future?

[Jynxgirl]

I set up a 60 gallon cube that I need 'stuff' for. I would deffinatly be interested in getting in on one for the austin area. Who are you wanting to order through?

Jill

[longhorn_20m]

I would be too.

[truck0000]

I lost crabs and snails in my move so I would need some also.

[longhorn_20m]

Is this going to materialize?

[Jynxgirl]

I pretty much need a cleanup crew order in the next few days or I am just going to buy the amount needed for free shipping. I just lost my shrimp and emeralds :(

Where would you guys want to purchase from? And who can receive?

[Darth-Tater]

We have done several group orders here in SA from www.reeftopia.com and they are a super place. Free shipping over $120.00 free things if you take delivery on Wed or Thursday and much more.

[longhorn_20m]

I could work from home and take delivery but I couldn't hold much after that day.

[BJanecka]

I would like to order as well this week but with my current schedule it would be very difficult to take delivery. Where's everyone located? I'm north in Cedar Park.

[Jynxgirl]

I am in Killeen, so its a minimum 45 min to hour drive no matter what but I can make a trip to austin to see fish stuff as well :D

I dont have a preference.

[Jynxgirl]

or Saltwaterfish.com 8) cuz I can get way more then just a clean up crew.

LOL, my spouse is probably hoping for reeftopia :lol

[longhorn_20m]

I'm located in South Austin at Onion Creek.

[truck0000]

Ill need a few emarlds and 3 peppermint shrimp. Some red banded snails would be nice but that depends on where we order from.
Cedar Creek close to bastrop.

[loans_n_fishes]

I was able to get blue legs and cerith pretty cheap one time with a big order. They would be .50 each. Anyone want me to set you up? Please say how many you need.

[loans_n_fishes]

Oh...there's no shipping charge and I can hold them for a few days.

[longhorn_20m]

From where? Reeftopia?

[loans_n_fishes]

No, it's an individual supplier.

[SaltyJim]

I'd like some blue legs and ceriths.

If the price is the same (.50 each), count me in for 30 of each. Could you get anything else?

Thanks

[loans_n_fishes]

I'll check.

[loans_n_fishes]

I can get Blue Legs, Caribbean Turbo snails/Astreas, Nassarius snails, Cerith snails, Mexican turbo snails, Scarlet reef hermit crabs, Emerald crabs, sea cucumbers, horseshoe crabs, serpant stars, brittle stars, queen conchs, arrow crabs, sally lightfoot crabs, coral banded shrimp, and peppermint shrimp.

I know the blue legs are .50 each. It just depends on how many we order of the other stuff. Give me your requests and I will check.

I know this is an Austin order but if we can make the order by friday I'd like 70 blue legs and 2 emeralds. I'd be able to pick them up from you but only on saturday.

[loans_n_fishes]

I may be able to meet people half-way for a nominal gas fee. Also, I may come to the meeting???

By "Friday" do you mean today or next week? There is no way I can do it today.

[loans_n_fishes]

Hmmmm...maybe a softie or LPS frag for gas??? ;)

[dark8nge1]

Could you get skunk cleaner shrimp?

[R_S_C]

you have a PM.

[Brett Wilson]

Loans,

What size are those blue legs? micro, small, medium....?

[akm]

R_S_C: 1 emerald, 4 peppermint shrimp, 20 Mex. Turbos, = $23.50

Poet2dagger27689: 6 Mex. turbos, 7 turbo astrea, 2 emeralds, 12 blue legs, 5 nassarius= $20.25

Jynxgirl: 2 coral banded shrimp, 4 emeralds, 30 blue legs, 1 serpent star, 2 brittle stars= $52.50

Road8514: 20 cerith, 40 turbo astrea, 31 nassarius, 1 cucumber= $50

Truck0000: 4 emeralds, 4 peppermint shrimp, 20 cerith, 40 blue legs= $54

I am going to try to time the order close to the June meeting. This way, you people in SA can get your critters easier. As soon as the date is set, I will let you know order time.

Also, if you would go ahead and send a check/money order or pay by paypal it would be greatly appreciated. If you pay by paypal, please add 3% to your cost for their fees.

PM me for address/email address.

I will hold your critters for 1 week, but then I will need to charge .50 per day to hold them. The only reason is I am almost maxed out on room right now, so it will be difficult to hold them for too long.

Thanks! ^_^

[saltcreepette]

Hey there, its the girl you got the live rock from! count me in for:
8 TURBO snails@ .25
10 nassarius snails@ .50
4 peppermint shrimp@2.50

[saltcreepette]

cant edit, but want to add two more peppermints and 30 blue legs, so that brings my order to $37, thanks.

[Brett Wilson]

I'd like
1x Serpent Stars: $4.50
2x Emerald crabs: $3.50

Should be $4.50+$7.00

I can pick them up from you directly, I will not be going to the meeting.
Thanks,

Thanks

[loans_n_fishes]

Ok, guys and gals. I am having a hard time getting our order filled. I may be able to get some of the items, (but probably not all) through another individual supplier. (The supplier I was working with has raised the prices after I spoke with her, and is not being very cooperative.) I am trying to get the same deal (price-wise) that we had from the other supplier. I will let you know the details as soon as I hear back. Sorry for the inconvenience. <_<

[Brett Wilson]

If it doesn't work out I will likely place an order with reeftopia so we can still get our critters.

[loans_n_fishes]

That's a good idea. Give me a couple of days to see if I can work this out. If it does materialize, we would be spending less than we would with reeftopia.

[loans_n_fishes]

Well, I am not going to be able to put together an order at this time for these prices. :angry So I guess we order from reeftopia? I will continue to look for someone who can give us even better prices, but it will take some time. Sorry for the inconvenience! :(

[Brett Wilson]

ok, looks like reeftopia it is.

I will be doing this order and receiving the items at my house in cedar park (I live off of parmer just south/east of 1431).

http://www.reeftopia.com/
http://www.reeftopia.com/completecatalog-a.htm

Free shipping only requires a $120 min so that shouldnt be hard to acheive at all.

I want to get some blue leg hermits since they are so cheap there (0.25/each for smalls)
I just don't need all 300 of them; I only need ~75 so I'll have 225 extra if I get the lot of 300.
Please let me know if you want blue legs and how many and I can have them bag them accordingly.

Pre-pay by paypal/cash/check is best but can make arrangments for COD (just dont want to get stuck with any critters)
I plan to place the order next week for Friday delivery.

Thanks,
-Brett

[Brett Wilson]

I emailed them asking when they will get more peppermints and micro blue legs in stock.

[Brett Wilson]

Depending on how many we need they may be able to sell us some peppermints next week.
Apparently it's past the season where it's easy to get peppermints in large quantities.

[loans_n_fishes]

I know a lot of people are going to Port Aransas in July. Perhaps I (and others) will be able to collect a bunch to bring back. Will trade for frags ;)

[SaltyJim]

I'd like to get some small blues as well. I'm willing to take up to about 75 as well.

Anyone want to split some Ceriths? I don't need 100, only about 40-50.

Brett, just let me know when you want payment, and I can bring you cash.

[Brett Wilson]

Good to know. I've done that once and it was great, but i've since learned not to use peppermints in a reef ;)
Let's save the discussion for it's own thread though.

Anyone interested in the group order please let me know.

[Jynxgirl]

I have 150 pounds of rock sitting in my 135 gallon that crashed monday night after a very bad snail mishap I had ordered that I should never had even bothered picking out the 'live' ones and putting them in my tank. They all must have died during that day because the 200+ snails and all my fish were dead in the morning.

I am so so sad we can't get them at the cheaper prices because now I need tons of stuff and not just stuff for my 60 cube.

If I decide to keep my 135 gallon up as I am moving in a few weeks. then I will have a very big order. We are closing on a house though in a few weeks and am thinking better to just take it down for a few weeks and start a new once its moved. I just have to figure what to do with all this rock plus my corals while my tank is down. :(

I will need at least 300 hermits, plus alot of other stuff. I might do a order and just have it shipped here. I dont know yet. If anyone is in the Killeen/Temple/Cove area, let me know.

Jill

[Brett Wilson]

The turbo astreas are $.09 more @ $0.34/each if you can find enough demand for 300 (usually easy)
I've ordered 600 once and they are only $0.30 at that quantity.

[SaltyJim]

I'd switch to 100 astreas from 50 ceriths if it helps the numbers, or if no one wants to split any ceriths. But, either way, with the blues legs and the snails, we are over the minimum for free shipping.

What I figure we need is someone to split the blue legs (small) - 150 spoken for, 150 remain;
and someone to split snails. Either 50 cerith, or 200 astreas available.

Anyone else want some things?

[subber]

If there is still time, I'll take :

2 emerald crabs......$7.00
2 peppermint..........$5.00
10 cerith..................$5.00
10 bluelegs...............$5.00

LMK

[Brett Wilson]

subber,
the group order has changed and those prices are incorrect.
The prices for reeftopia can be found here:

http://www.reeftopia.com/completecatalog-a.htm


2 emerald crabs......$8.00 (if we order 8 more)
2 peppermint..........$7.00 (if they can get any and we can order 4 more)
10 cerith..................$7.50 (if we order 90 more)
10 bluelegs...............$2.50 (should be able to order enough for this price)

[Brett Wilson]

I have created another thread to clean this up and make it easier to see what is going on.

http://www.maast.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=191725

Please post in that thread if you are still interested in a group order and what you would like.

[subber]

Ok, how about this?
2 emerald crabs......$8.00 (if we order 8 more)
2 peppermint..........$7.00 (if they can get any and we can order 4 more)

10 bluelegs...............$2.50 (should be able to order enough for this price)


LMK what will be ordered and total for me...Thanks

[Brett Wilson]

subber, I have added your items in the other thread:
