Mysis shrimps...

[robert]

Hello Everybody!
Reading http://www.canreef.com/ubb6/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000840 I noticed that there are a few of us who would like to get some Mysis shrimps. I think it is a time to make bulk order together. Probably not even bulk order since their minimum order is quite big - 19lb.

Anyway, there is 38 8oz packages in one 19lb order. If you are interested, please reply to this post and state the amount you want to get. I can take care of ordering. Order would go out latest next week Monday maybe even earlier if we get enough participants.

Count me in on the purchase.

Oooops... I am very sorry, but I found local person who is going to sell me some. No, it is not retail supplier. You may still use my post to organize joint order, but I will not take care of ordering and distributing.

Hi,

I am still in it for the bulk order. I am looking for about 2 to 3 lb of this stuff.

Lee,

How much mysis do you want to buy ?

- Victor.

[zulu_principle]

I have a couple of 2.5# bags of Piscine Energetics Mysis relicta $20 a bag.

Pick up only.

Victor,

I have all kind of food in my freezer. The Mysis I have the fish don't really like, so I just wanted to try maybe $20 worth to start. If there was to be a group order I would be in for about $20.

Lee, I'll be ordering 19 pounds for next Thrusday's(they deliver once a week) delivery. I will sell it by the 8oz. packet. Might be easier if you're down this way.

[zulu_principle]

Have sold all the extra bags of mysis I had.

Sorry.

Zulu

[reefburnaby]

Zulu,

Doh! Doh! Doh!

No problem, I still have lots of homemade food in the fridge. If you have some more mysis to sell in the future, please post a message on the board.

Thanks.

- Victor.

Shao, just got your PM. It's the piscine energetics brand from the Okanagan. Same stuff Kyle sold everyone a few months back. It's supposed to be a lot better than the hikari brand or others. I'm going to have 19 pounds of it, so I hope my tank likes it...a lot!! I probably won't be over for 3 more weeks, building a new reactor this weekend and my birthday the weekend following. After that, I'll be coming over for a few days.

[ldzielak]

Brad,

Sounds good, I will be passing by next Thurday, so it should works out fine.

Lee

[Aquattro]

Lee, how long are you in town? I haven't confirmed if it's same day or next day yet. They ship Thurday and the product stays frozen so I assume it is same day delivery. I'll PM you when I have more info.

[canadawest]

Great stuff, been using it to feed my tank for the past 6 months or so (bought a bunch from Kyle in Kelowna).

I know you'll be happy with it Brad, and so will whomever else gets some from you.

PS... 19lbs will be TONNES!!! I got around 5lbs of the stuff and it will last me over a year. :eek:

[Aquattro]

Andrew, I'm hoping to unload a lot of it. I figure 19 pounds would last me more years than I have left!!

[r_wellwood]

All,

If Brad does not have enough to go around, I am interested in bringing a 19lb order. This would translate into 38 portions of 8oz each.

Pricing from PE is as follows:

Mysis $ 116.00
Taxes $ 17.00
Shipping $ 20 to $30, no exact figure until arrival

Total $ 153 to $163

Each portion would then be worth $4.30 at most.

I am located in the Vancouver Area, and this is where the order would be shipped. I would like to have all of the portions spoken for before placing the order. I am aiming for delivery on Thursday, October 3rd. Pickup will have to be worked out, and would have to be within a couple of days of shipment arrival.

E-mail me with your quantities required - priority will be given to larger quantities, but I will try and get all on the list.

Ryland, if you can organize a group order over there, go right ahead. I can probably get rid of 19 pounds on the island.

[Old Guy]

Ryland,
You can put me down for 5 packs.

Thanks -- Jeff

[Terrance Wong]

Ryland,

I'd like 2 packs.

Terrance

[Samw]

FYI. Received an Email reply back from J&L and also talked to them this evening. They'll be stocking PE starting next week.

[r_wellwood]

So far there are 13 of 38 packages spoken for.

I tried to get a price from J&L this afternoon, but was told they won't know until the product arrives :( .

I am still planning to go ahead with the group order, keep the requests coming tongue.gif .

Ryland

[smokinreefer]

well i guess i if it is easier i can get mine from ryland. put me down for say...10 packs.

brad, let me know when you are in town.

[r_wellwood]

Good news:

As of this morning, I have requests to cover the minimum order :D . I will entertain all requests (even as small as one 8oz package) as the order can be increased to any amount. Here is a breakdown:

Old Guy (5)
Terrance (2)
SmokinReefer (10)
Ryland (4)
Other (19)

For all who are wondering, this is the MYSYS from the Okanagan (Piscine Energetics).

Keep the requests coming.

Ryland

[Samw]

Hi Ryland.
I sent you 2 emails yesterday. I'm interested in 2 packs.

[robert]

Hi Ryland,
I am up for 3 packages.
Robert

[r_wellwood]

Sam,

I received your e-mails yesterday and tried to send you two replies. They were both returned to me as 'not-deliverable'. I just tried again with the same results :confused: .

No worries, your request for two (2) packages is on the list.

My mail server started using several blacklists to cut down on Email spam and I guess Shaw's server was on the list. smile.gif I'll remove the blacklist that is blocking Shaw. smile.gif Should work now.

I am going to place the Mysis order tomorrow morning, for delivery on Thursday morning.

After speaking with Piscine Energetics today, I have been informed that they will only ship in quantities of 19 lbs (equal to 38 packages). I currently have requests for 46 packages in total. I would ask that anyone who has requested a large quantity give up a few packages so others who have requested smaller amounts can be accomodated. However, I did state that larger requests will be given priority and I will stick to that. See below:

Old Guy (5) [Jeff]
SmokinReefer (10)
Ryland (4)
Terrance (2)
Sam (2)
Pirate (3) [Robert]
Others (20)

To accomodate everyone we need to give up eight packages. I am willing to drop my quantity to two from four - so we need volunteers to drop six more packages.

Pickup - shipment will arrive on Thursday morning and I will keep it frozen. I would like to arrange for pickup on Friday evening OR Saturday morning. I thought it would be best to meet at a somewhat central location, possibly J&Ls parking lot. If people would like to pickup quantities for others, just let me know ahead of time.

So please post your preference for a pickup day:
Friday Evening
OR
Saturday Morning

I have also sent out an e-mail to all with this information.

Ryland

[smokinreefer]

hey ryland,
i'll drop 4 packs...so then i'll take 6.
shoot me an email, i dont know if i can make it any of those times you mentioned for pick up, but i am nearby JL, we can work something out.
thanks,
shao

[Old Guy]

I can drop to 3 to accomodate if you like. I did get a pack at J&L to hold me over anyways.

[r_wellwood]

All,

First: enough people have sacrificed a few packages and it looks like everyone who requested some Mysis will get some:

Smokinreefer (6)
Pirate (2)
Old Guy (5)
Terrance (2)
Sam (2)
Ryland (2)
Others (19)

Second: I wasn't thinking straight earlier today -I will not be able to make a Saturday pickup. Instead, I would like to offer up Thursday night. The shipment is supposed to arrive by 5:00pm on Thursday, so I could make it to J&Ls by 6:00pm or so. Otherwise, it will have to be Friday.

Third: I placed the order this afternoon, and the total for the 19 lbs + shipping is $153.26. This translates into $4.03 per 8oz package. I am not going to hold anyone to the 3 cents, so lets make it an even $4.00 per.

Ryland

[Old Guy]

As I'm only 4 blocks from J&L :D ,anytime is good for me.

[BC_Grl]

jeff, don't you find that living that close to J&L is too tempting? I would...
Mind you, I would love to live in that neighbourhood. I've heard it is quite nice.

[Old Guy]

Jeanna,
Living close just saves gas for the car. I've been fighting aquatic temptations for 30 years. :D

I bought in this neighbourhood 3 1/2 years ago and love it. Due to downsizing, I'm down to 3 tanks :( .

Shao,
If you can't make the arranged time, I would be willing to grab your packs for you.

Being so close to J&L, I am willing to grab and hold for anybody that needs such arrangements. Just let me know. smile.gif

[r_wellwood]

All,

After receiving some feedback, it looks like Friday evening is the best time for pickup. Therefore, I will be at J&Ls between 6:00 and 7:00 pm in the parking lot. I drive a brown Jeep Cherokee, and will be the one with the 3 ft X 6 ft 'MYSIS' sign around my neck ;)

Packages are $4.00 each, please attempt to have correct change - I will bring some twoonies/loonies.

If you cannot make it on Friday, please arrange to have someone else pickup your share, and let me know in advance.

I have sent out an e-mail to all containing this information. See y'all on Friday.

Ryland
