Check out http://midwestfrags.com/
I have been corresponding with both Matt and Marvin on our next Group Buy.....Guys and Gals they have some awesome deals! :wink_smile:
The order will begin on Friday, the 15th and will finalize on Friday, the 22nd. Once the order is finalized MidWestFrags will hold the order for healing, and will ship June 1st. To qualify for free shipping, we must generate an total order amount of $350.

Directions for Group Order by MidWestFrags:
"When paying just have the members say that they are with the group order using the code: group23 and state MAAST group order. Please add your MAAST User name to the group order also.

I will be able to ship any Monday or Wednesday. Once the order is finalized, depending on what is bought, I will have to wait about a week for the zoas to heal before shipping out. I do have frags ready to go of most of the zoas and palys though. SPS will be fresh cut so there will be no heal time on those! They tend to ship better as fresh cuts!"

I will assume the responsibility of having the Group Buy shipped to my house, and will designate a time for pick-up. I will post that time and date as the arrival of shipment grows nearer. If the Members in Austin, would like to purchase, I will plan a Meet-i[ location also.

Have fun, and happy shopping!

I REAAALLLLLLLLLLY want to order some zoas from them, but is anyone planning a trip to Corpus or vise versa any time soon? I would love to get some but do not have time to drive to san antonio to pick them up with summer school and all.

I know there is a Meeting on the 7th, maybe you can get Aggman to pick up and deliver them. :bigsmile:

Thank you Cheri and Steve for this opportunity to be a part of the MAAST family!

Matt and I are reef enthusiast much like yourself. We have just accumulated too much stuff! But seriously, we are not trying to be the "biggest" supplier. We are trying to be the best.

At this point all I can say is give us a chance to prove it.

Again, thank you.

Jarob, I'll be in on this order and when I pick up my frags I could pick up yours and hold them until you can make arrangements to get them. I'd be in no hurry since I just set up a 75 gallon zoa frag tank. PM me if you have questions.

It's because the hyperlink on it is:

Placed a partial order.....to many nice corals to decide....:at_wits_end: :Timeout:

For you Zoa Collectors out there, if you have not checked out their site, please do......they have named Zoas, and allow you to build your own frag. by choosing the amount of polyps you want. If you are looking for ORA SPS, than give MidWestFrags a look.

MRSBIGBIRD123

Tue, 19th May 2009, 04:55 PM

Hey Sherri,

I have sent you a reply.

You are correct about how to place an order. Email us through customerservice@midwestfrags.com , tell us what you are interested in, then we will email you back availability and pricing including the MAAST Group Order Discount. I can send you a Paypal invoice or, through your Paypal, you have the option to send money. I will email you exactly what the invoice amount is before you pay.

We really like being involved in every order -- making sure we have available exactly what you are looking for, in the right quantity and for the right price.

So far, this order is a tremendous success. Ordering ends Friday, and as of now, we would ship Wednesday The 27th for Thursday a.m. delivery.

Thank You MAAST!

Marvin and Matt

Thank you MAAST Members! Your response has really been tremendous.

We will be fragging today and tomorrow to fill this order. We will ship a week from Monday, June 1st for Tuesday, June 2nd delivery. We want to give the frags a full week to heal and open before shipping.

We will still be accepting orders for this discounted group buy through Sunday, May 31st. The items available for late purchase would be fresh cut SPS and anything in the WYSIWYG section of our website.

Again, Thank You.

All in all...can ya tell I'm happy? :bigsmile: Will update when all open up.

BIGBIRD123

Sat, 6th Jun 2009, 12:04 AM

On the invoice you ordered the AOG and the Mohawks -wysiwyg frags and we sent you the Pink Ladies and the Hornets. What were you missing? Was it polyp count or what? If it was the Midwest frags, then you need to email them because they are sending replacement frags to us on Monday.
