call out to my SPS collectors

[Big_Pun]

I was talking to Randy and he and i are in need of a SPS fix!!!!! so we want to get a group order going with someone online, with who we dont know yet. im starting this thread to get some ideas of where to go, ive delt with reefexotic.net and heard great things about battlecorals. if you know of another good places with good SPS let me know here. when we pick one or even two places ill get the order going. PLEASE dont reply in this thread unless your serious about placing an order or know of a website. this will not be for the "weak wallet" im sure if we get a big enough order we can get free shipping.

LETS DO THIS !

[allan]

I'm in.

[FireWater]

I'll see what I can find Chris. Battlecorals does get good reviews though and I wouldn't mind seeing what they have available.

[jcnkt_ellis]

I'm interested in battle coral over reefexotic and am clearing it with the "boss" :bigsmile:

[Big_Pun]

pacific east may also be an option depends on what i see. have other options besides sps, but battle is on top of my list at moment. fyi this is not a democratic group order, if feel i cant count on you to go through on the order i will not add you to order, not in mood to chase people down for payment.

[rockmp]

Another vote for Battle Corals!

I am in also.


Thanks

Pacific East has always done me right and they are a sponsor.

[mkengr45]

I'll be cool with whatever place we choose. I never have a problem making impulse buys...I'm actually pretty good at it. I see some stuff on battle I like. We have to make sure we don't go after the same thing. Not sure if these places have multiple frags of the same coral or not.

[CoryDude]

Does anyone still buy from atl corals?

How about aquacon Chris? I hear all sorts of good things about them.

[KING]

Im in..lmk..

[Big_Pun]

ok the list is battlcorals, ATL, aquacon. everyone start looking and putting in opinion if you all have the money I'm in for 2 orders from two places...

[Big_Pun]

just kidding bout aquacon I haven't heard anything really good .... unless someone has delt with them latley

[Big_Pun]

so ATL and battle corals

[CoryDude]

Yeah, aquacon was a joke. Nothing good can come from that place.

[gcantu]

If you go with battlecorals I'm interested in two items. LMK, I can send payment via PP.

http://www.battlecorals.com/Shades-of-Fall-54.htm

That's one of my favorites. It's a fast grower. This one has shown more growth than any other sps in my tank.

[allan]

Oh really? Fragging soon? :)

I accidentally broke off a piece a few weeks ago. I made several 1 inch frags out of that one piece. All are still in my frag tank

[FireWater]

These are on my wish list, but will probably limit myself to one.

Even better. My list just got shorter. Look and tell me the others are out of stock too so I don't have to spend money.

[allan]

Sorry, Pal, the other two are in stock... but fortunately for battlecorals, they're the $79 variety.

[FireWater]

I don't work for the government. I can only get one.

[mkengr45]

[FireWater]

Ok. Got my invoice coming.
Ordered the bleeding tree albro, not another blue tenuis, and the reef ready grape juice.

[Big_Pun]

bout time John settled on what he wanted!!

[FireWater]

It was hard to decide. Too many pretty colors kept distracting me.

Oh if only I had those awesome metal halide bulbs you gush on and on about then I might have ordered one of each.

yup you would have more cash in your pocket from not buying leds lol

[Big_Pun]

last day!! talked to adam and he will ship wed for thursday delivery. i will have them shipped to my work so they will be inside. i can meet everyone at my house or a central location for everyone, i get off work at 330.

[jcnkt_ellis]

I'm for a central location, but we'll see what everyone wants. I'm on the same side of town as John.

[Big_Pun]

i can hold also if needed for friday or sat pickup, i think im requiring john to come get his to see my tank lol

[mkengr45]

I'll get mine from you at your house Chris since we are only a few miles apart...

[FireWater]

What if I don't wanna see your tank?
Maybe you should deliver to my house so you can see my tank.

ive seen plenty of good led tanks, you havent seen a proper MH tank lol

[FireWater]

I won't touch that comment.

[electricrcplane]

I saw Chris's tank the other day and I have to say Chris has some really large colonies of SPS. It actually convinced me to go 2 x 250mh & 1 ai vega nano over my new 120. I know Chris's head will swell, but his colonies look exceptional and overall he has a very healthy and thriving reef.

What is considered a central location?

[FireWater]

For Chris it probably means 1604 and Potranco.

[Big_Pun]

1604 Babcock lol I don't have a tank there any more

[gcantu]

I can probably do that, what time were you planning?

[Big_Pun]

after 4 pm. i just talked to Adam and everyone is paid. shipment will be wed and arrive thursday

[gcantu]

Do you happen to work anywhere near downtown? I figure since you are shipping them to your work I can try to pick mine up during lunch. Just a thought.

No, its a high school. so nobody can just walk on without prior permission as its also a disciplinary school very strict rules on visitors.

[Big_Pun]

Group pm'ed about pick up times please let me know.

[Big_Pun]

looks what I got 19156

[jcnkt_ellis]

Thanks Chris for orchastrating it all. My pieces look great, the yellow milli especially, it glows neon yellow under actinics :)

[SinisterLou]

Post piks of the new corals guys.

[FireWater]

Mine were looking good as well. Long story, but I enjoyed Marks frags too. Chris can explain. Lol

They are not too colored up from the trip Lou, but I will see about some pics later today. They looked healthy and good sized.

[Big_Pun]

all frags look great everyone who needs to pick up i emailed or texted you emilys number please arrange pick up with her as i will be surf fishing and will not have any cell service till i come back Sunday. all frags where put on my racks and documented what belongs to who and names of frags. im sure if you ask emily will mark the bags.

PINK SHORTS!! John was so distracted by the beauty that is metalhalide that he grabbed the wrong bag, i had to mop the floor from the drool and wipe the glass from his face smudge.

[FireWater]

Lol. That's funny!

[FireWater]

Emily's tank looks great Chris. Yours was ehh, ok. And you handed me the wrong bag. I was too afraid of the heat and burning my arm to grab the bag out of your tank.
