local SA zoas and palys - batch #11 post #406

[hobogato]

you got it david

[Mr Cob]

Ace, those are some big colonies. As you know I'm in an Aquapod now so my choices have to be more selective. Those colonies have a large variety though...very cool.

[Big_Pun]

sorry hobogato but im goin to have to drop out no time to pick it up.. i apologize for any inconvenience

[hobogato]

i should be around this weekend chris if that works better for pickup, lmk.

[hobogato]

btw, these are large frags - the smallest one is 30+ polyps.

[allan]

Ace,

If you still have any of these frags left I will take one. I don't mind which as my tank is barren at the moment anyway. If you have two differing colonies I would like one of each.

Allan

[hobogato]

ok allan, i will put you down for one #29 and one #31.

[Darth-Tater]

Ace I can bring cash. Would tonight be Ok? If not pm paypal address

David

[hobogato]

tonight it fine david - cash would be great :)

[allan]

Great,

If tonight is good I'll stop by on my way home from work.... 5-ish?

Allan

[hobogato]

works for me :)

[allan]

I'll give you a call when I'm in the general area, might need directions again, still have your number though.

See you later,

[hobogato]

six frags not pending -

three of #29
one of #30
two of #31

[allan]

Slight change of plans, wifey and I are going to grab dinner then we'll be right over.

I'll bring 30 in the event she likes one of the ones you still have available...if you still have them by then that is.

[hobogato]

i could go ahead and put you down for one of #30 as well if you want.

[allan]

...iiii don't think that would be a good idea at this time. The only time I control the funds is when she tells me what to buy. :blushing:

Don't bother saving it if you can get rid of it, but if you still have it there when I get there I may be able to influence her using my jedi mind power tricks.

[Mr Cob]

I may be able to influence her using my jedi mind power tricks.

Or by force, with your ninja skills:ph34r:

[Darth-Tater]

Picked them up a few minutes ago the look nice. Thanks Ace

Spuds bunny (David)

[hobogato]

good to see ya david and allan, five frags left that are not pending.....

[mharmon]

When will the frags be available for pick up?

Thanks,

Mark

[hobogato]

they are ready.

[Darth-Tater]

Now.... I picked up mine this afternoon. they are pretty.

Tater

[gemz]

Im so sad! :cry_smile:everyone is getting theirs and it feels like forever till Ill be there to get mine!

[allan]

Thanks Ace, glued them into the tank last night and before the lights went out they had started to open.

Turns out I didn't need either Jedi mind tricks or Ninja force... just a well placed comment by one Hobogato and wifey was hooked.

Oh yeah, and realllllly nice sized frags on natural rock. Can't beat the deal, thanks again Ace.

[hobogato]

bump for the weekend, need to get these out of here.

[hobogato]

last bump for this batch - i guess it will be the last batch

[hobogato]

four left - 2 of #29 and 2 of #31

[MKCindy]

Ok! I was good, I gave everybody a chance at these. I'll take one of each.

[hobogato]

ill put you down as pending.

one left of #29 and #31

[allan]

Hey Ace,

You can't stop doing this. If it comes down to it and no one else picks up those last two, or if it comes down to one, I will take it.

Let me know what's the drop dead date that you have to wrap it up on.

The frags I picked up earlier are doing great.

[hobogato]

no deadline, i will not even consider another order until these are gone.

[hobogato]

back from the dead, would there be any interest in a few more batches of these group orders?

[BriGuy]

I think so, look at the responses from before...i dont think you were left holding the bag on anything?

[hobogato]

actually the last batch i was, there were several that were never picked up. regardless, i am willing to try again if there is enough interest.

[Rychek]

Count me in! I've been itching to add some new corals. :)

[4fun]

you can count me in as well

[GoneReefing]

count me in for some

[rickrutland]

I would probably be interested.... as long as I knew in advance to make sure I was in town.

Thanks

Rick

[corydrysdale]

Ace. If im reading this right and im probably not. What do you have left to get rid of. I only have 3 groups of zoa's in my tank and their not that flashy. Would love to get into a group order and be willing to spend 50-60 bucks on nice colors, especially blue and orange, red etc. Anything but green

[Gilbertg78228]

if they are colorful i would like to be in this

[hobogato]

no cory, nothing is left from past batches. we would be starting fresh with a new batch.

may put one of these together soon, so if you are interested, keep you eyes open.....

[The Butcher]

I am in.

[profntbtr]

i'd be interested, last time i was always late on the uptake, so maybe this time around i can be faster

[allan]

I'd be interested as well.

[corkyGramma]

i'd be interested, last time i was always late on the uptake, so maybe this time around i can be faster
dido

[corydrysdale]

Count me in then.
Lets do this!

[kkiel02]

Ace I know it's a little drive but pollys pets here in new braunfels had what looked like red people eaters for a decent price yesterday. They got alot of zoas in recently.

[hobogato]

ill have to check them out, thanks!

well, i found four rocks of zoas and was planning on taking pics this morning to start this batch, but after the k4 mishap yesterday they are all closed up. once they open and recover i will get this batch started.

[hobogato]

batch # 7:

the total i spent on these was right at $170 so i will cut them into 17 pieces at $10 each. i will post the names of who gets what next to them - it will be in the order of claiming posts here in this thread. a name in red means pending, green means gone to that person. a name in grey is next in line if a pending falls thru. pendings will stay for 24hrs unless special arrangements are made.

[hobogato]

updated - kevin, i put you down as next in line on #41 since they are all pending.

10 frags left...

[cowboy572]

Ace, just let me know what time is good this weekend to come by and pick it up. Also talk a little digital photography with you.

[hobogato]

that will be fine, most likely, Sunday afternoon will be best.

[saabtech]

go get 'um folks these things are cool. i got mine (thanks Ace)

[tzhanks]

Thanks Ace I love the Zoas and the paly opened up right away

[txg8gxp]

Mine are all open doing great aswell. Thanks, can't wait to see the next ones.

[Gilbert]

Mine look nice also Ace, thanks for starting this up again.

[saabtech]

i would like to encourage everyone to post where there zoa are in the tank and how happy they are just to help eachother out in placement.
i have 40 and 42. by the way... these two are really cool looking.
both are at the bottom of the tank (24 inches) and have been under lensed leds for 24 hrs now. (consider it med light)
#42 is opening up ok it may need more or less light, im going to try a little shade first.
#40 is being stubborn but the polyps that are on the side of the rock that is in shade are starting to open. i think they will get moved into direct shade.
how are yours and where are they in the tank?

[BSJF]

I've had mine all over in the tank with about any combination of light sources: VHOs, PCs, T5, 150 MH, and/or 250 MH lighting

[Regric25]

Add me to the list for #39!

[hobogato]

[Regric25]

Ace those #39s are NICE! They were open in the bag before I even put them in the tank! Thanks for the great frag.

[corkyGramma]

Oh man, how did I miss this?:confused:

[hobogato]

#40 - 4 frags
#42 - 1 frag

[Kristy]

the following are still available:

#39 - 2 frags
#40 - 4 frags
#42 - 1 frag

Any chance you could describe the color(s) of the zoa in those frags? I am having a little trouble deciding what color is pictured on this go-around and I'm only interested if it's a color I don't already have.

[hobogato]

#39 - is greenish/yellow star center with rusty orange skirt mixed with peach center olive disk/skirt

#40 is light purplish blue disk with rusty to brown skirt

#42 is pastel green with light blue center - looks like dyed easter eggs

[hobogato]

#39 - middle one is gone, other two are still available
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c329/hobogato/frags/DSC06190.jpg

[RayAllen]

I will take the last 2 ACE. Sent you a pm.

[loans_n_fishes]

Are you still doing this?? Sounds Awesome! It would probably take me a little longer to arrange a pick up time, but if that was ok--I would be in for 2 frags of the next purchase. You have great taste, Ace. Don't think I would even have to look at the choices! :)

[jrnannery]

I would also be interested in seeing this continue, maybe even with corralimorphs, like Ricordeas. Harder to do, to be sure, but probably worth it.

Thanks
Richard
