I'm green with envy after looking at zoo pics on the RC Zoo Forum :smilecol: How come I don't see these kinds of zoos available up here?

[StirCrazy]

Money!

Bob scoops them all!!! :razz: And money!

[Zerandise]

I know of a couple good stores that sell nice zoo's in the TO area. They seem to have a few more nice reefer owned shops there than here. Some of them get in weekly shipments of corals and fish from all over. If you like i can post some links.

I am a bit of a internet junky :)

[Aquattro]

links is good...

[Tarolisol]

WOW :crazyeye: :crazyeye: those are amazing, does anyone know where someone could order zoos like that.

[Zerandise]

This is a great Zoo seller. Go on the forum as he p[osts pics of the zoo's for sale as well as the coral.

[Aquattro]

nope, not against our rules, but seems their rules say you need to be a member to view those pages. Too bad...

[Zerandise]

bummer

http://www.reefraft.ca/ will let you see a bit of what they have in stock.

links are at the bottom of the page.

[Aquattro]

This link does it, and I love the prices!!

http://www.reefraft.ca/category.asp?icatid=3

[Zerandise]

I guess i just sort of thought every one new about the TO stores....

I will post more link as i remember them. And yes great prices. Like a siad the the sales threads on the forum has 50 or so zoo's for sale on it.

[Aquattro]

I was being funny on the prices. They're all marked $0.00, which translates to free. Real good pricing :biggrin:

[Tarolisol]

Awsome thanks for the links, anyone order livestock from these links before?

[Zerandise]

lol i didnt even see that :) I think most of there zoo colonies are 35-85 I think.

[Aquattro]

Well, feel free to post any links you can think of. We have lots of zoo lovers here that would love to expand their collections.

[Zerandise]

I have not ordered from them yet as i am waiting on my 140 to be set up (this weelend!!!!).

I however know a number of people on another board i visit (a TO based board) that has many customers. I have delt with alot of the TO stores. They are all great.

[StirCrazy]

Damn, I'm sorry I just don't understand what people see in zoo's.. but I guess the same thing can be said about people like me and SPS corals.

Steve

[Zerandise]

yeah i just dont see it in sps. Guess there are two kinds of people in this addiction.

those who love zoo's and those who are wrong.

Just jokin :D

they have lots of nice acro's too.

[Tarolisol]

I see it in both, both are probly the most colorful corals out there. My new 210 will be sps and my 18" cube will be zoos. Im so exited :biggrin:

[Aquattro]

I love SPS, but if I can find some nice zoos for the front bottom of my tank, I'm buyin' them!! Zoos are way cool!! Almost as cool as SPS!!

[StirCrazy]

bahh they just take up valuable realistat that could be used for SPS :mrgreen:

[EmilyB]

I tried the reefraft site when I was into zoos (well before my fish ate the zoos...hehehe). They had a paypal system and I ordered.

Then they told me they didn't have those I ordered. So they sent a few new pics and I ordered those. Then they said those were sold out of those as well.

They couldn't figure out how to refund my money so I sent them an invoice.

They paid it. I bet if you live close by they have nice stuff.....

[Tarolisol]

Why does calgary have such bad store when it comes to zoos and sps. Loads of LPS though.

[Orion80]

Yes Jason and Jensen the owners are great have been getting sps's and zoos from them already, everything looks great. Thier average prices range from 35 for asmall to 120 for a large or rare item. They are great on arrangeing the best shipping time, so as the fish/corals are in the air the least, but they may end up taking a few day to actually ship it to u. They are lucky b/c they have a brother or cousin, do not remmber which that hand picks most of their stuff across seas, they both orionate from the Phillipeans but get stuff from all over. As we all know it is illeagel to import from the phillipeans at the moment due to their bed collection practices.

Their most recent stuff is in their forum section under albums.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:


one for the archives... :biggrin:

[Willito]

Like EmilyB said, they have very nice stuff but it's not always available when you order. I have tried about 3 times to get what was on the website and each time it was sold or not available. Having said that, I am in the midst of putting in another order of SPS that just arrived. Will let you know how it turns out.

I did visit their shop this past summer when I was there, and I have to admit their stocks are amazing.

[Aquattro]

one for the archives... :biggrin:

I've always liked zoos!! I re-aquired some awesome pink ones from Christy at the last meeting, and the 4 of them so far have become 8 or 9! I've just never seen really nice ones, or my tank would have tons of them.

[OCDP]

Hey,

Zoo's have gotta be my second favourite out there... I hardly have any in my tank because it's still kind of new.. 3 and a half months! But that website does have some really nice zoos indeed... but what's with the price tags?? I would think about ordering some of them... if I COULD haha..

If anyone has any extra zoo's they dont want, you can gladly donate them to OCDP's boring, beginner reef :lol:

I had no idea - you've gotta drop in next time you're in town, Brad. :biggrin:

I have some even Bob doesn't... mind you, I seem to be trying to kill them - some have closed up. My Alk test kit says 8.5 (Aquarium Pharm) but things are acting the way they did back in the last tank when it crept up to around 12 or 13... :confused:

Well donation is not my game, but as I said in PM's to you, I do have a few to sell. :biggrin:

[Beverly]

I have looked over the zoos they have for sale and sent an email to the store owner asking the ones I am interested. I also inquired if he would do a group order for those in Edmonton. This is the page where there are pics of each specimen:

http://www.reefraft.ca/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=45&posts=13

Prices are listed part way down the page.

Anyone interested in a group order? Payment is by PayPal.

[Zerandise]

damn im glad i posted that link.... I should have posted it months ago......

extreme marine does REALLY nice corals/fish as well. I have delt with Archie a number of times. Not sure if the do mail order yet but i wuld think so. I will send him a msg tonight.

Also trying to rember some of the other sites i goto with nice zoo's on them.

[StirCrazy]

Ok here is a question for the zoo heads.. how do zoo's do in high flow.. say like at the output of a tunze?

Steve

[Beverly]

Steve,

IME, zoos do better in lower flow areas of the tank.

[StirCrazy]

thats to bad, I would have concidered some nicer ones on the glass bottom along the front of the tank...

First this..

So which is it?? You looked at the pretty pictures and changed your mind, didn't ya! :razz:

[StirCrazy]

neither, they grow slower then green start polyps and I thought they might be a bit more resistant to flow because there more compact and sturdy (thought you got me there didn't ya :mrgreen: )

Steve
I have zoos in higher flow areas of my tank (nothing like tunze flow though) and they actually do better, less crud buildup between polyps

ya, I have a tunze on the bottom front corner of my tank that puts a real nice current accros the front of the bottom of my tank.. so they would have to be able to hold up in that.
