[Ross]

I'll take the third one for sure. LMK if were gonna do this. Will we just frag the third one out?

[apedroza]

Hey Ross you want to scrap our order and join this one?? Id be willing to share any frags if possible.

[apedroza]

I like all of them just tell me which one to order. I fI need to choose I'd take the second one. I want a piece of all of them!! :D

[hobogato]

so right now, we can agree on the first three?

[apedroza]

Those would definitely be my choice!!!

[apedroza]

Those would defineily be my choice!!!

[hobogato]

any more? http://www.reefermadness.us/RM-Hand-Picked.htm

[apedroza]

Those would definitely be my choice!!!

[apedroza]

Sorry for the deja vu

[Ross]

yup, im down for the third one and we can frag them all out and each take a piece if thats what yall wanna do...

[apedroza]

Anyone want to go halfsies on this one?? http://www.reefermadness.us/RMD12126665.htm

[Ross]

Anthony, you dont want the samoensis. They are super hard to keep alive.

[apedroza]

Okay jsut looked really cool and purple, but don't want to risk it at that price. Thanks Ross.

[Bill S]

Ace, if you need any more help, I would be more than happy to go in on a share - with this caveat: If you will take my "share" at MY TOTAL RISK, and keep in your tank until after the first of the year. I'm still trying to get my tank back on track - and it looks to be getting there. If the answer is "no thanks", that's absolutely cool. I'm just offering to "share the pain" a little.

[hobogato]

the first three have been set aside for us.

[hobogato]

bill that would be fine. if we pick three more, ill add em to the order.

[Ross]

Bill i can hold any coral you want, my tank is good to go! and i never mind having to add a little extra calcium!

[Ross]

how are we going to do the prices ace? just split the total cost of the most expensive 2 by us 3 and each pay an equal share?

[hobogato]

ill figure it out when we get the total price. you know me, i will be fair.

[apedroza]

I want to try some of these small frags also.

[Bill S]

That's cool guys, just put me down for any split. I have so few SPS left...

[Texreefer]

Ace are you looking to frag these out? if so deal me in!
I really like this is anyone is interested
http://www.reefermadness.us/RMD12086500.htm

[hobogato]

how about these three also, and we would split each one five ways?

http://www.reefermadness.us/RMD12086455.htm (from original list)
http://www.reefermadness.us/RMD12126622.htm
http://www.reefermadness.us/RMD12086500.htm (texreefer choice)

ill add those frags when i make the order if they are available.

[Ross]

I'll pay for a piece of the prostrata, i cant afford the whole thing though.

[hobogato]

I'll pay for a piece of the prostrata, i cant afford the whole thing though.

if we get all six, everyone would be in for about $75 - $100 and would get 6 frags - one of each.

[Ross]

Thats fair, although im more interested in the millies than anythign else...

[Bill S]

Works for me.

[hobogato]

anthony, mike - you in also?

[hobogato]

tictoc.....

[hobogato]

mike's choice is sold - i listed a possible alternate of the same species.

[EDIT]nevermind - i was looking at the wrong one - mike's choice is still available for now.....

TIC TOC...

[hobogato]

ross is out on the second three, so if the rest of us want the second set of three, they will only be split 4 ways, but it will cost a bit more. LMK ASAP EVERYONE before they are sold.

[Ross]

no, im in on the first three, i dont want the second 3!

[Bill S]

Ace, you know me - count me in, just let me know.

[hobogato]

sorry ross - i fixed it :)

[hobogato]

tic toc tic toc!!!!

[apedroza]

Sorry I was in a meeting. I 'm in for all 6 plus my other ones.

[hobogato]

mike o mike where are you ??

[Bill S]

Ace, without putting words into his mouth, from his last post, it LOOKS like he's all in... If you need me to, I'll take up the slack if he bails on the last 2 frags.

[Texreefer]

Sorry Ace ,, i'm in, i'm in !!!!!!!!

[Texreefer]

Did we get all of them??? :unsure
Ace let me know if you need help on friday.. I'm available all day

[Texreefer]

the suspense is killing me :P

[hobogato]

as of right now they are still available, i will call in just a minute.

[Ross]

i just checked and all the millies had sold on them, i hope that was you ace!

[Bill S]

Ace, I'll be out for the rest of the afternoon - feel free to call: 663.8079 cell.

[hobogato]

we got em all.

here is the breakdown on the price for everyone: of the first three we had to pay 99 + 89 (188), so divided 5 ways that is 37.60 each. for the second three we had to pay 119 + 119 (238), so divided 4 ways is 59.50. anthony, your two frags totalled 54.00, and there was a 10 dollar box charge, divided evenly is 2 each. the order will ship today and be here tomorrow.

i have already paid for the order, so please paypal me your part today and please add about 3% for paypal fees ashedd@satx.rr.com

Ross - 37.60 + 2.00 = $39.60
Ace - 37.60 + 59.50 + 2 = $99.10
Bill - 37.60 + 59.50 + 2 = $99.10
Mike - 37.60 + 59.50 + 2 = $99.10
Tony - 37.60 + 59.50 + 54.00 + 2 = $153.10

[Texreefer]

all corals are happily in their new home and look great

[Texreefer]

seeing some major recession at the base of two of my millies and my robusta.. anybody else getting this?

[Ross]

yeah i got a little bit but it stopped

[apedroza]

Yeah one of my frags didn't make it had a lot of RTn when I picked it up from Ace's house, and was even worse when I got home, so I just tossed it. Ace lmk if you ever frag the piece you have. For the most part everything seemed to make it OK.

[Ross]

The 3rd millie down on the ppics keeps rtn-ing...both mine and bills. I have 1 large piece that hasnt very much at all so hopefully it will make it.

[apedroza]

Yeah that looks like the one I lost :( everything else looked good this morning (fingers crossed) we'll see when I get home from work.

[hobogato]

is that the green with blue tips? mine looks ok for now, so after all of this other mess with my tank, i will do my best to get all of you frags. everything else seems to be doing ok from the order.

[Texreefer]

except for the initial tissue recession all of mine look healthy,, with good color and polyp extension. i must say though that my favorite piece is the Nobilis,, nice teal color with blue tips and already showing signs of growth

[Texreefer]

Well, my Robusta is starting to turn a nice purple on the ends :D Ace, almost overnight from when you came and took pics, The base from my fragged out millie is contuing to recede but the frag tree i made looks good

[hobogato]

i lost my frag of the green w/blue tip milli, but the others look ok. not great, but ok.

[Texreefer]

once your done with this treatment i will get you whatever frags i can, all my others look good at this point.

[Bill S]

Just got a note from Ross that he lost all of his and all of mine over the holidays, when his power went out... If anyone has any of these that grow successfully, I'd be interested in buying some frags...

I'm now 0-2 from Reefer Madness!

[Texreefer]

Bstreep... all of mine are looking good.hopefully in 3 -4 months

[apedroza]

Yeah the majority of mine were lost over the holidays as well. Iam 1-3 for reefer madness. Put me on the list if you don't mind. :)

[Texreefer]

wow, sorry to hear about everyones losses,, hopefully these will contunue to grow

[Bill S]

I'm thinking that fragging just shipped corals might NOT be a good idea in the future...

[hobogato]

i have only lost 2, and that was a week after starting the flatworm treatment. ross lost his because of a power outage, and anthony had a power outage issue also after just getting the corals, so i dont think it has anything to do with fragging to soon - just my opinion tho.

[Texreefer]

I would have to agree Ace, as i said all five of mine are doing great

[Bill S]

Cool. That makes me feel better... Ace, how about an update?

[hobogato]

i have lost about 10 small colonies/frags - nothing very big a few other small ones dont look well.
