[Nemain]

I need to pick up custodians... I will be ordering within the next two weeks if anyone wants to piggy back, most likely from J & L.

Beth

[Joe Reefer]

Hi Beth,

I would be interested.

[jgoldsney]

I may be in for this as well

[Funky_Fish14]

Im also interested. Thanks.

Chris

[kuatto]

I'm gonna check out what I want for clean up crew and let you know :cool:

[snaggle]

can I get fish :lol: I want a lion fish. :razz:

[Funky_Fish14]

Livestock shipping is for corals/fish/custodians so im guessing fish are ok? I need some hermits, snails, and a sixline wrasse. Thanks.

Chris

[medic_eva]

yellow headed jaw fish for me!! but i need to wait like 2 weeks for my lights... hmm...

[fishguyxd]

I may also be interested I need snails so far I keep a watch on this post.

[Beermaster]

I will probaly need a cleanup crew as well

[snaggle]

do we have a date picked for this order? I will be I Ont. fron the 20th to the 26th of May, so any time after that will be good for me.

Brad

[Funky_Fish14]

Awesome, the more people we get doing this, the lower the shipping cost each!

I'd prefer this to happen before the 20th of may, as I only have two blue-leg hermits in my 15g right now.

Chris

[shotzee]

I'm in too.

[dennenboom]

I'm interested too, however I will be away until June 7th. So depending on the date of the order.

Den

[Murminator]

I might be in for some crabs

[bnhreef]

Hi Guys,

I would also be interested.

Brad

[Funky_Fish14]

Wow man, shipping is gonna be like....$5ea. with so many people! Lol.

Chris

[fishguyxd]

So how do these group orders work ? Does everyone order there own thing direct from JL and pay them or do we order through the "main person" name. and then pay the shipping at delivery?

:smile:

[jgoldsney]

Well the last time that I wasi in a group order it was really easy. All I did was let them know that I was on the edmonton order and they split the shipping proportionaly so that if you only ordered 1 bag worth that is all you paid shipping for. This was a while ago though so I am not sure if it has changed

[TRS]

Beth,

I might be interested in some inverts too.
Are you placing the order with J&L or Ocean Aquatics?
Also, what is the order date?

Kelly

[Nemain]

Hey guys, I am goingt o back out of this one, a friend is going to pick up for me :redface: But it looks like you have lots of people to go in on something should someonme else want to organize it =-)

[TRS]

Still interested in an order from Ocean Aquatics prior to the May long weekend.

[TRS]

Since I am from out of town, I would prefer if a local reefer takes the lead to pick up from the airport and hold the live goods order for distribution. I would be in for a larger order if we get from Ocean Aquatics. They seem to have a great selection and reasonable prices too. Is anyone from Edmonton or Fort Saskatchewan willing to also place an order and do the pick up?

[snaggle]

I will have to back out if it is before the long weekwnd I dont want to get a new fish then leave for a week. if we the order after the 27th I will be in.

Brad

[TRS]

Does anyone want to have their live goods ordered early next weeek and delivered before the long weekend?

[dennenboom]

My preference would be after June 7th, as I will be back then.

Don't forget too that depending on the livestock supply, that the order might take 1/2 weeks to fill first, before even shipping.

Den

[TRS]

Sorry, but I can't wait that long. Since this is a new tank with much algae and detritus, I require my initial invert clean-up crew much sooner. Ocean Aquatics currently has an excellent selection of inverts other than listed on their web site and at reasonable prices.

Here are some of the species currently on my list:

Blue Leg Hermit (Clibanarius tricolor)
Red Leg Hermit (Paguristes digueti)
Scarlet Reef Hermit (Paguristes cadenati)
Electric Blue Hermit (Calcinus elegans)
Emerald Crab (Mithrax sculptus)
Porcelain Crab (Petrolisthes spp.)
Sally Lightfoot (Percnon gibbesi)
Astrea (Astraea tecta)
Brown & Red Banded Turban (Turbo spp.)
Cerith (Cerithium spp.)
Nassarius (Nassarius vibex)
Trochus (Trochus niloticus)
Tectus (Tectus spp.)
Stomatella (Stomatella spp.)
Tiger Tail Cucumber (Holothuria thomasi)
Chiton (Chiton Ancanthopleura gemmata)
Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata wurdmanni)

Several other species are currently available.

Ocean Aquatics is able to ship via Air Canada Cargo to Edmonton on Monday (May 16), Wednesday (May 18) or Thursday (May 19). If anyone from the Edmonton area is interested in this order, please send me a PM by the morning of Monday (May 16). Otherwise, I will be placing the order for another individual and myself early in the week.

Just a quick reply to let you know that apart from a 1/2 hour flight delay, the livegoods order went off without a hitch. We even found a few extra snails and each received a free Fromia spp. starfish. The order was extremely well packaged with labeled bags and heat packs. We experienced a very low low mortality rate in this shipment. They can get most of anything you want to order too. We will definately be placing additional orders with Ocean Aquatics.

Kelly

[fishguyxd]

So is anyone else going to be putting in an order ?
I might order some cleaning crew and maybe a fish in the coming week or so.

[dennenboom]

I'm interested still, is for J&L or for Ocean Aquatic?

If it arrives after the 7th of June it would be great.

Den

[OceanAquatics]

If you would like to start a group order, just arrange the pickup from the airport on the Edmonton side. You can specify a ship date and others wishing to join can call or email me and add their orders. When I ship I will divide shipping between orders based on the weight and size of each order.

Our website has only about 20% of what's in stock, so send me your requests and I will let you know what I have. We also now carry more fish and Inverts as well.
Happy Ordering

James

[dennenboom]

Is anyone still intrested in this? I am willing to spearhead this but have the order show up after the 7th. I am hoping to get at least 2 other people involved to off set some of the shipping.

Den

[shotzee]

I'd still be interested.

Rory

[Beermaster]

I'm out sorry, got my cleanup crew already

[BlkWolfe]

I can also offer to pickup the order and distribute it from my place

[TRS]

What is the delivery date?

[fishguyxd]

I probably get a few snails etc.

[BlkWolfe]

june 7-10 depending

not set yet but the 8th would work best for me

[shotzee]

I going to pick out my stuff and am sending in a money order to them on Monday (unless anyone wants to pay for it with their order and I could pay them back when it gets here, because I don't have a credit card).

Rory

[shotzee]

Placed the order and sent the money order. Who is it getting shipped to/who are we picking it up from. How many people are in on this order??

Rory

[BlkWolfe]

[TRS]

Good luck with the order.
