All orders placed. I'll send out a PM tomorrow with all of my contact information. Anyone who would be intersted in having me meet around the 281/1604 area, let me know, and also what time you would be able to be there to see if we can coordinate something.

[Europhyllia]

I might. What's the pick up location (I think you said you moved)?

[tebstan]

I'll probably be in on it too. Reefcleaners always has neat stuff I can afford. :P

[BSJF]

John was in an accident recently, so if you have problems getting in touch with him that is why. Not sure what other support he has in running the shop, so someone might want to check availability of stock. If he has some stuff in, it would be a great way to show support.

[Teeb]

I only emailed him today, so I haven't received a response yet. Hope he makes a speedy recorvery. I'll keep everyone posted when I hear back from him. Karin, I'm a little past Stone Oak now, not too far out.

[Europhyllia]

That's what I was afraid off. lol
Stone Oak is on the other end of the world for me! ;)

Im in.....Karen if you want to be in this group order, I can take your order to wrk with me. I work in Adkins.

[jorgejr]

id like to get in on this i need a few things.

[Teeb]

Heard back from John and it seems he's up and running. My order will come out to ~$32, so $168 to go to get free shipping. Please post or PM and estimate to me so we can see how close we are to the limit.

[Europhyllia]

Thanks Joe. That's very thoughtful of you. I think I will pass on it this time. I don't have an urgent need for anything -just 'wants' lol

[Sherri]

Let me take a look - may want some things...

[Europhyllia]

Okay I feel the need for Chitons. They need to be Express Mailed so I am in for a bunch of chitons as long as the free shipping is Express Mail to a San Antonio location.

[Teeb]

Karin, I'm getting a few myself, so Express is a necessity. John really pushes them, they must do some serious algae damage.

[Europhyllia]

And they are cute. Extra points for cuteness. Express to my location still takes TWO days so I hope your 'past Stone Oak' is still in town, right?

[tebstan]

I'll be in for about $25 worth of critters and macro. I don't really need many algae grazers, but I just love to watch them work. I could probably use a few more nerites to replace the ones that have made the great escape. They get tossed back in when I catch them, but I suspect the dog has made off with a few. :sick:

That's outside the tank, hanging upside down on the front ledge of the stand. It crawled out the back (the only opening) down the back of the tank glass, and around to the front of the stand where I spotted it. I felt a little bad when I tossed it back in, like I was thwarting Nemo's escape.

[Europhyllia]

I am in for about $50 worth of stuff as long as they have in stock what I want at the time this group order starts.

In fact if you want to start sooner, I am ready sooner. My main criteria still is that it ships to an address that constitutes a 1day delivery for Express. :)

[tebstan]

In fact if you want to start sooner, I am ready sooner.

Same here! I may be in for as much 40 if the stuff I really want is in stock.

[Teeb]

We can possibly move it up a little. I still don't have water in my tank is my only concern. I'm hoping the biopellets will aid in a quick cycle and might be ready to go in a couple of weeks. Let me know what you think.

[Europhyllia]

Put some water in it Teeb!

[Teeb]

I'm trying, have a small leak inside my pump somewhere, once I get that straightened out, I start adding RO and salt. Doing a garage sale tomorrow, so we'll see what happens on Sunday.

[paul]

i'm looking at about 35-50$ also. i'll let you know again in about 2 days.

[tebstan]

Any updates? Is this still going to happen?

[Teeb]

I'm having to hold off a little bit since I had to order a new tank. Tank should be here and drilled by next weekend. I'm using dry rock and dry sand with biopellets and MB7, so I'm hoping for a very quick cycle. I'll keep you posted.

[Teeb]

Just wanted to see who all is on board with this still. I finally have the tank ready for CUC. Post up if you are and we can decide on a timeline. I'm ready to go as soon as everyone else is.

[tebstan]

I'm still interested, just won't be in for much $$ since I'm doing the BRS order also.

[Sherri]

let me look again...I may still be on board - will post asap & let you know...

[jorgejr]

i would be in for 36.32

[Teeb]

Mine comes out to $32.45. Gonna keep a running total on the first post. Anyone else in?

[jorgejr]

is this gonna happen??

[tebstan]

I'll be in for $22.50

[Teeb]

Well, we're about $160 away from free shipping. If no one else is intersted, we can all split shipping to help out. Shipping should come out to less than $10 split 3 ways. If ya'll are in, we can close it out on Friday to see if anyone is interested and place the order on Monday. I'm currently unemployed, so accepting the package won't be a problem.

[kkiel02]

I may be in. If we place the order monday when would we expect it here?

[Monica25]

What can be ordered at reef cleaners?


Monica

[tebstan]

Check out reefcleaners.org

They always have neat things. Macro, clean up crew, and inverts. Cute stuff like limpets and zig zag periwinkles. Porcelain crabs, chitons, ceriths. Conch, crabs, urchins. All kinds of cool stuff!

[Teeb]

If ordered on Mon, it will arrive on Tues.

They have all kinds of cool CUC stuff and Macro and probably the best pricing on the net.

[kkiel02]

If ordered on Mon, it will arrive on Tues.

So I could swing by after work on tues.? I would get a couple snails if that is the plan. How far out are we on free shipping? I think my order will be at least $60. Am I missing Astrea snails or are they out?

[Teeb]

Yup, delivery by 3:00p at the latest. USPS is generally here aroun 10am. I don't think I've seen Astrea snails, I think the Nerite's are probably the closest to them that they offer.

[tebstan]

I really like reef cleaners' stuff, but I don't know if I can justify $10 shipping on $20 of product.

There's got to be more people who want to participate!

Come on everyone, there's got to be some cool inverts you're interested in, or maybe need to update your clean up crew?

[Teeb]

Kevin, could you confirm your total for me. That should put us within about $100 of free shipping. I may pick up a few emeralds, which would bump my order up by about $20. We're getting close

[leliataylor]

Where is SA are you? I could use some nassarius snails, limpets and macro. My only problem is I work until 6:00 Tuesday at USAA and I need to get home to feed my seahorses. I am off on Wednesday.

Thanks,
Cheryl

[Teeb]

Getting some traction on this, first page updated. Cheryl, I'm on 281 a little north of Stone Oak. I do have a small spot in sump that I could release a CUC and still be able to get it out. They may be ok floating until Wed. morning. I'll be available all day. I'm not sure if order is going in tomorrow, but we did have a few people want to get in on it and should qualify for free shipping. For the people who have comitted, when do you want to place delivery. We can still do tomorrow or maybe make Wed. a cutoff. We're all in it, so toss in your vote.

[ShAgMaN]

Real quick here, I defenitely want to place an order as long as delivery is this week.. So how do I do this??? Just place an order and tell them to ship with MAAST? Let me know ASAP and count me in.

Once you have a total on what you need, let me know. I'll contact John and let him know we're placing the group order. You order exactly what you want and pay John directly indicating you are with the MAAST group buy. He bags everything up per each person's order and ships it in one box. This is definitely happening this week, Wed. at the latest. I'm submitting payment to John today for my order and let's go for getting it ordered Wed. for a Thurs. delivery.

[kkiel02]

That sounds good for me as well.

[tebstan]

I'm off Thursday, so if it's delivered then I can pick it up anytime.

If it's Wednesday, I'd have to come by in the evening, around 9pm. If that's too late for you, I wouldn't mind having my stuff left in the bags overnight.

When should we place our orders? Is free shipping a sure thing?

[SABOB]

Interested in a crew, costs $43.06 When do I place order with John? I work off 281 and Nakoma till around 6pm.Could pick up after work depending on traffic going North on 281 at that time!!!!!

[ShAgMaN]

Steve, I paid $57.00 today - order complete.

Just a suggestion, we could meet at the Walmart in Stone Oak where Mr. Cob's Corals meets for drop off in the evening. That's Mr. Cobs Coral's, a great business to buy awesome corals at killer prices. LOL.

Anyway, either Wed. or Thurs. works for me, I just thought I'd throw that in there, cause I have to pick stuff up there and it's easy to find. But if it's too much of a hassle no biggie, just let me know when and directions. Thanks for setting this up!

[Teeb]

Cool, free shipping is confirmed. Once you've paid, please PM or post so I can keep track. I can probably meet off 281/1604 to make it easier. We're up until about 10:00p so anytime before that is fine.

[Teeb]

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to give me a call 210-875-7219. CLOSING TONIGHT!

- Steve

[kkiel02]

Paid it actually came out to $79 when I added some zig zags.

[SABOB]

Just ordered and paid for a 55 gallon Quick Crew.Thanks for organizing this.Update on delivery date/time/locaton.Previous suggestion of Walmart parking lot is ok or wherever.

[jorgejr]

im in there, my order total was 49.48 if it matters?

[leliataylor]

I just think I ordered 26.49, not sure how to proceed. HELP! I am also off on Thursday so either day would work for me.

[ramsey]

My order's in! $115

What are you having trouble with? If you placed your order and got confirmation, make sure you added a note about being part of the MAAST group buy. Then you'll wait to hear from teeb on when the order will be in and when you can pick it up. If you're not sure your order was placed or you forgot something, just email John from reefcleaners. He's super nice, typically responds really fast and I'm sure will help you with any issues you have.

[tebstan]

Payment sent. $35.25

[ramsey]

Any update? Has the order shipped yet?

[leliataylor]

Thanks Ramsey. I did email John after I placed the order and he just wanted to verify if I had placed one or two orders, so I think I am good to go. I have worked with him in the past and he has always been great to deal with, even when he is out on a boat in the middle of no where.

[kkiel02]

Yeah John is awesome, and very easy to work with.

[Teeb]

Any update? Has the order shipped yet?

Should be shipping out today. I'll PM the tracker to everyone as soon as I have it.

[tebstan]

ETA?

[jorgejr]

Where is pick up going to be?

[leliataylor]

Thanks so much Steve. The nassarius and limpets headed off like the had lived there all their life, the macro portions were huge and the mangroves look great. I think you will be having a busy evening. Your mom is also wonderful.

[tebstan]

Does everyone's order look ok? Mine seems a bit mixed up. More of something than I ordered, but something else is missing. I'll email John about it, but wanted to ask in case anyone else has the same issue.

[ShAgMaN]

Ya mine was kinda messed up. I got a ton of dwarf cerith snails (ordered 100 and got 200-300+), and only one large nerite snail and a bunch of small ones(ordered 30 large). My tank looks like a LFS snail tank right now.

[kkiel02]

I think I got way too many dwarf ceriths. I only ordered 100 but got alot more. I think everything else was good though. Thanks again to TEEB and John at ReefCleaners!

[leliataylor]

Got everything I ordered. If anybody wants to get rid of some ceriths let me know, I can use a few.

[zerreissen]

Unfortunately, I had to miss this Group Buy due to some car issues, however, if anyone has extras that they'd be willing to sell, let me know!

Thanks,

Chris

Just wanted to say "Thank You!" to everyone who participated. As cheap as John's pricing is, even his reasonable shipping charges seem to double the the price of an individual order. For those of you that that had problems with your order, please contact John, he's proven to be excellent in handling any mixups. It was nice meeting those of you I hadn't met and good seeing those that I have.

Thank you again! I know how much work coordinating group buys is.

Thanks again Steve. The price was too good to worry about the small mix up. I think we all made out pretty well. Cheers!
