http://www.fragalot.ca/newsh/frags/fragspecnew.html

[noirsphynx]

I'd be in for a few.

[Flash]

I will take 3 if we do a group

[The Codfather]

Count me in for a few.

[saltynuts]

some one should set it up then.(not me)
but i would be in for a couple!

[Fox]

I would be interested as well...

[Doo]

I would be in as well for a couple...

[Doo]

do you guys wnat me to organize this - I am ok with it...

I have ordered from Burc before and don't mind doing it...

let me know

[Flash]

YAY!!!!:biggrin:

[saltynuts]

if you wish to set it up go ahead!
dumb ? is your tank big enough to hold all the goodies till everyone can get their!
thanks for the time

[noirsphynx]

That'd be awesome Doo. I thought about it but being in Bon Accord I don't think everyone would be too fond of coming out here to pick up everything.
Dawn

do you guys wnat me to organize this - I am ok with it...

I have ordered from Burc before and don't mind doing it...

let me know

[mark]

I'll play (maybe 5 pieces).

And Doo if you're willing the step up, great.

[Flash]

I would like #74, #62,#83 the more people, the less shipping is! lol!!!

[noirsphynx]

And at this rate it'll be next to nothing :biggrin:

[Doo]

thanks Ed - I get many people calling me dumb...

I have a 10gal that is empty with a rack in it and lighting setup for this kind of thing. I imagine that most pickup will be the same afternoon and fast, so they should not need to be taken out of the bags...

If we do order, we need to have it in by end of day tomorrow so Burc can get it out by Friday and it gets to us on Saturday - and pickup for all is easy and I will be home waiting for it all day with all your phone numbers...

If this works for you guys - let the ordering begin!

Send me a primary list and some secondary options in the event your first option is sold out.

Let me know what you think?

[Doo]

ok, I am starting to get emails already with orders - I guess there is no way out now :)

Please PM your order to me with your phone # - so I can follo-up if need be.

deadline will be tomorrow afternoon. I will confirm all orders and send the list to Burc. I will talk to Burc on how he wants payment.

Stay tuned

[Doo]

so far we have about 25 frags combined :)

keep them coming!

[rusty]

[J.Lloy]

:redface:I just sent a pm for 10

[Doo]

wow, we are pushing 40 frags in total!


I emailed Burc about the shipping and he will not be able to ship until Monday, how do we feel about moving the deadline to Sunday noon and getting the order next weekend (saturday), would that make pickup easier for all??

give me your thoughts please!

I am open to options...

[Flash]

fine with me!!! so do we have any idea what shipping is?? more then $10 each?

[noirsphynx]

Whenever works for me.

[J.Lloy]

Great.... this just gives me more time to dwell on more frags:lol:

Next week works fine too.

[Flash]

wait.... the site says free shipping on orders over $250.... so does that apply? if so I'll get two more!

[Flash]

oh side note again.. looks like things are starting to sell out

[noirsphynx]

I noticed that too :rolleyes:

oh side note again.. looks like things are starting to sell out

[Flash]

it's making me sad... I wanted those zoas! lol! so maybe we really shouldn't wait.

[noirsphynx]

One of the ones I wanted are gone too :cry:

[Jeff_]

Id be in for 4-5

[Flash]

well we are probably at about 50.... so I'm sure we could to two orders... one tomorrow and one sunday???

[mark]

I'd vote for let's get this in ASAP (one of my picks is already sold out).

[Flash]

[Jeff_]

agreed. Maybe move the cut off to later tonight? order pm'd.

[saltynuts]

[Fox]

Can someone identify #'s 68, 86 and 95 so I can do some research before I order them? I am just new to Saltwater and I want to make an educated choice.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

I sent Burc a PM way earlier with the order numbers so he can hold the first batch of frags held and he told me that he has the numbers and will get them in for us - stay tuned, but we should be good :)

[Doo]

so I sent the first round of orders at around 4:30 ish when we started the order. I am thinking we should pack it up ASAP and get the rest of them in to Burc so can all get what we want...

I would like to get 3 people to agree to this before I make it happen

[Fox]

Cheers!

[noirsphynx]

Doo, my last order of frags, did they have names on the bags of what they were? I'm pretty sure on all but one.

[Flash]

my money will be sent tonight when I get home from work! so around 6:30-7:00pm! YAY!!! So excited!!!!! I cannot wait!!

[Doo]

Burc,

Are you able to put the numbers on each frag in the little bags and the names of each person on the big bag that the little bags are in :)

with such a large number of frags - it may be a little easier to hand out...


Thanks

[noirsphynx]

Burc,
Once things calm down from all these orders I'd love to get some names of what I have and what's coming.
Thanks,
Dawn

[Doo]

No they did not come with names on the bag, but I held them for you and those were my bags :)


Doo, my last order of frags, did they have names on the bags of what they were? I'm pretty sure on all but one.

[noirsphynx]

I thought when they arrived they may have had names on them. I think last time I recieved a bubble gum chalice, true watermelon chalice, a green aussie chalice, and of coarse my duncan. I'm not positive on the chalice names though, I could be totally off.

Does that sound about right Burc?

[Flash]

So will they atleast have numbers on them?

[fragalot]

Doo, I will mark the bags with Item #s and they will be in big bag with labeled buyers name on it.

Yes i will label the bags with item numbers.

[Flash]

YOU'RE AWESOME!! THANKS! :biggrin:

[rigger11]

[fragalot]

my payment sent just waiting for conformation

I got the payment. Thanks. Please PM your order list to Doo.

Thanks
Burc

[saltynuts]

its all good! i can see my tank now all happy!

[Doo]

Burc, rigger11's list was sent to you with the entire order. his name is listed as rigger without the "11" so it does not get confused as a frag - LOL

[Doo]

1 payment left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeppie!!!!!

[Doo]

so I checked the weather and this is what it looks like for the next few days...

Friday:A mix of sun and cloud. High minus 20. Friday night:Clear. Wind becoming west 20 km/h overnight. Low minus 26. Wind chill minus 38.

Saturday:Sunny. High minus 18.

Sunday:Sunny. Low minus 29. High minus 20.

Monday:Sunny. Low minus 21. High minus 16.


I think we should hold off until it warms a tad???

what do you all think?

The earliest Burc can have them to us in Tuesday either way...

Any thoughts?

If they get to us next Friday - would it be easier for everyone to pickup vs. a week night??

I need some feedback please...

[noirsphynx]

For me it doesn't matter what day/night but I think it's a good idea if we wait until it's a bit warmer too.

[mark]

how's Frag-o-lots packaging?

[Doo]

I am sure Burc can add some heat packs, but cold is cold...

[Jeff_]

Pickup doesn't matter for me whether it'd be weekday/ weekend. rather have it warm to reduce shipping stress though.

[Fox]

What side of the city do you live on Doo? It seems that almost every reefer I contact is in Millwoods...with me being across the country in NE Edmonton...hehe

[Doo]

I am not far from millwoods at all - I am just in the Terwilligar area (South Terwilligar to be exact)

[Doo]

I see that the weather is the big factor for all of us - let's see what the weather looks like for Tuesday and that might not be a bad day if it is warm, if not we wait...

are you all cool with that?

[Fox]

I am in no rush...I would rather they arrive alive that damaged or stressed...

[Doo]

any other thoughts

[mark]

South Terwilligar, damn, I'm in the far NE corner of Edm.

[Flash]

lol i am central in westmount.. still a 20min drive for me!

[noirsphynx]

Well I'm in Bon Accord, 20 mins north of the city, lol.

[Flash]

ha ha dawn you win!

[fragalot]

So Which day you guys want me to ship your order?

Burc

[Doo]

guys, I don't mind doing a meeting at south gate ot whit ave some place so save you some time :)

[Doo]

What day does everyone feel comfortable with?

Burc - we need it to warm up a bit so we can avoid loss...

[rigger11]

it doesnt matter what day as im out of town till friday or saturday.... eddy you may have to pick up for me buddy!!!!

[J.Lloy]

Just about any day will work for me.

[Matt]

Likewise, I can make anything work. I'm not too concerned about trying to time for warmer weather (unless we wait for May)... it's pretty cold up there where the planes fly. How much time do they spend in the local ground-level cold anyway? And how long do we wait for it to be warm in Edmonton AND Guelph?

[Fox]

guys, I don't mind doing a meeting at south gate ot whit ave some place so save you some time :)

That would perfect for me if it was on a Mon, Wed or Friday... I work very close to there and am off at 3:30. Tues and Thurs go I have school and have to go straight there and I don't get home till 8-9.

Weekends are open as well just more of a drive but not an issue.

[Flash]

doesn't really matter to me either... i will make the drive if I have to! I just want them here safe!!!

[Doo]

I agree

it is supposed to be warm up on Tuesday & Wednesday

I think we should shoot for Wednesday :)

Burc, how does wednesday sound to you?

[Doo]

All payments are in - Burc, EMT is on it's way tomorrow...

[J.Lloy]

Arrive Wed works great for me, I can pick up Ed's, Riggers and mine.

[Doo]

Payment is complete - Frags will arrive on Wednesday - let's meet at Starbucks on Jasper Ave & 109 St.

Please come as soon as possible, I will be there from 6:30 to 8:00 PM
You can reach me at 780-399-FISH (3474) :mrgreen:

Cross your fingers that all the stuff makes it in good shape!

[Doo]

If anyone can not make it on Wednesday - please let me know if I need to give your frags to a reefing buddy or hold in my tank for you...

Thanks

[Fox]

That shouldn't be a problem. I will be there. I'll the the one with 2 little kids and Nascar gear. :P

[Flash]

sure meet at a busy starbucks at rushhour! lol!!! can I just pick them up from your house! jk!

[Doo]

Bean,

I am 110% ok with breaking up the time between 2 locations. If the SOUTH Side & S. Grove folks want to meet at the Tim Hortons (23 Ave & Rabbit Hill Rd) I can be there from 6:00 to 6:45
and at Starbucks (Jasper Ave & 109 St) from 7:15 - 8:00

I want all your input on this please...

Doo

[Jeff_]

Starbucks will be fine for me.

[noirsphynx]

Starbucks works for me too.

[mark]

Starbucks is ok.

[Matt]

Starbucks is easy for me, too.

[fragalot]

Hello All

Your order is going out tomorrow. I will send tracking number to Doo.

Thanks
Burc

[Flash]

lol starbucks should be fine as well! do i need to bring anything to put them in?

[mark]

lol starbucks should be fine as well! do i need to bring anything to put them in?

I find one of those little 6-pack coolers handy to put the bags in to hold the temperature.

[noirsphynx]

I usually bring an insulated bag or small styrofoam cooler with a couple towels and a heat source(hot water bottle) but I usually have to because it takes me a bit to get home.

[Doo]

Hi All

The final meeting spot will be at Starbucks (Jasper Ave & 109 St) from 6:30 - 8:00.

Please let me know if you need me to hold your corals so I get them in my tank without having to drag them around.

OR

Let me know if another memeber will be picking up for you.

I WILL NOT RELEASE CORALS UNLESS I HAVE YOUR OK...

780-399-3473
Doo

Thanks

[saltynuts]

Jlloy will pick up rigger11 and for me.

[Fox]

I will stop by Starbucks to pick mine up.

Thx again!

[Flash]

how am I going to know it's you? I don't know what you look like! lol!!

[Fox]

how am I going to know it's you? I don't know what you look like! lol!!

He'll be the only guy with the big a$$ cooler full of corals....:lol:

[saltynuts]

He'll be the only guy with the big a$$ cooler full of corals....:lol:

lmao thats good!

[noirsphynx]

He'll be the only guy with the big a$$ cooler full of corals....:lol:

:lol::lol:

He also has a shaved head, or at least he did last time I saw him.

Bean(sorry I forgot your name), I'll also be there at the beginning if you remember what I look like.

[Flash]

hey now.. i didn't know if he was going to sit with the cooler inside! lol!

mmmmmm starbucks!!!:mrgreen:

[Matt]

As long as we don't wind up dealing with an impostor, and get cheap knock-off frags, it'll be OK. It's a dogfish-eat-dogfish world out there.

[rigger11]

yup for Jlloy

[Doo]

I will have the frags hanging off the inside of my coat!

hahahaha

There is going to be many bags and I don't want to mix people up or orders on my first go at this :)

[Doo]

Not sure if anyone else is interested, but may be we can do a little frag exchange while there is a bunch of us meeting - will anyone have time or have any interest in doing this?

[noirsphynx]

I don't have much right now. All I have a a couple sps frags and a yuma. The sps pics are from when I first bought them, they've also grown a bit. SPS is just not growing well in my tank, with little to no polyp extension so I'm going to stick with softies & LPS. I can take more recent ones but I'm off to work this morning so won't be home all day.

Blue Mille(was blue when I bought it but has turned green under my lights)
3796
Unknown that's purple with green polyps(from "fencer" so maybe he can tell you what it is)
3797
Tri color nana acro
3799
light green w/light purple skirt Ricordia Yuma about the size of a loonie, or toonie when fully expanded.
3798

$10 each or trade for .......

Sorry about that Jeff, I wasn't home all day. I thought I would be home in the afternoon but things went longer at work.

[Matt]

Thanks, Doo! There was an almighty and nasty smell-o-death from the bags, but nothing appeared to be dead, so I'm hoping for the best.

Thanks for the candy frag! And thanks for doing this thing.

[Fox]

Hey mate, Just wanted to say it was nice to meet you...sorry we couldnt stay longer but my little ones are not really coffee shop friendly...hehe

Never ordered frags online before and it makes me very comfortable about the whole process!

Thank you very much managing this whole deal...went pretty smoothly and all my frags are great!

[J.Lloy]

ya the water from those bags were pretty bad but everything looks ok so far...

Thanks Doo for handling things.

[Doo]

You are all very welcome - it was a pleasure to meet all of you and I look forward to playing again soon...

Doo

[mark]

everything looking good here as well.

Thanks again for setting it up.

[Flash]

it was awesome to meet all of you... now.. where to put all these things I got!!!

[noirsphynx]

Yes, a huge thank you Doo!!

My bags had the stench of death too. Not sure yet if all are okay or not. I'll see how they look tomorrow after work. I also notice that I did not get one of my zoo's(not sure which yet) but there was something else instead and I have no clue what it is yet.

[Flash]

I have one frag of zoas that hasn't opened yet.... so I am hoping they are the red ones I haven't seen yet... lol!

[noirsphynx]

Yes, a huge thank you Doo!!

:p Long day at work, I mis-counted :lol: I got all my zoo's(think I mis-counted cause one was off the frag) the unkown is an extra(Thanks Burc:biggrin:). Hmmmmm, interesting, I wonder what it is.

[saltynuts]

a big thanks to doo and jlloy and last but not least burc!
you guys rock.
give me a week or tw0 and i,ll set up a reef meet!
hey jarred whats up buddy! lmao!!!!!

I got one that I didn't order so far.... #74 the 10-15 header is totally wrong... it's almost beige with green middles.... not green/blue-green as pictured.... #70 is there... I think # 67 as well... but the other two won't open.... a little sad about the #74... it was the first one I saw and loved :( or well.. you live and learn!

[Mrfish55]

Pictures?

[J.Lloy]

I wouldn't worry yet, give them a little more time. The frag could change color a bit ( might be the different lighting) or one of the frags that haven't opened yet could be the one that you are really looking for.

Hi

I had to frag full colony. It was huge colony so some of the polyps from sides. That zoas ( radiactive dragon eye ) loves light. Put them under high light area and let me know how they look in 2 weeks ;)




If anyone has DOA please PM me, i will give make note for store credit.

Thanks to everyone.

Sorry about that Jeff, I wasn't home all day. I thought I would be home in the afternoon but things went longer at work.

No worries, there's always next time. All of mine seem to be doing well except the #5 all that is left now is a skeleton. :cry: On the other hand the zoas look pretty darn good. Thanks again Doo and Burc :biggrin:

[Flash]

okay that I can do!!! I still have two that haven't opend.... I will wait! lol! ha ha! so pretty though.. totally makes my tank look better already!

[Doo]

All my stuff looks good Burc - my duncans are open and they look great!

Thanks again

[mark]

well 4 out of 5 no problems, fingers crossed on the last one (which of course was the nicest)

[scorpio73]

For me, I have only had one zoa open, the other two are still turtled, but I'm hopeful.

#23, I think was DOA, It is gray and no polyps visible.
#45, Has no sign of green, I think it cross-shipped with #44
#61, had to be re-glued, but is open
#70, still turtled
#71, looks good
#83, still turtled

Sigh... I'll give them a few more days before I judge.

[Flash]

i have two that won't open :( still waiting

[saltynuts]

i have 2 for sure third i,ll know better later.

[Matt]

So, only two survivors, 61 & 71. Disappointing.

[Flash]

2.4 #83 and #62 dead for sure... I have one that only 1 of the heads opens on... but the big cluster I have is doing great so is another one...

My torch, mushroom and candycane corals that I added the same night as well are doing fantastic..

[Doo]

I am glad to hear that the candy and torch are doing well - keep in mind the ride from my tank to your is a lot shorter :)

I am sorry to hear that some frags did not make it...

Burc mentioned that we should report the DOAs - just drop him a PM, he is good about looking after this stuff...

I know that if I send him pics and ask, he'll give store credit, but I don't see myself using the credit, so it is just a loss. This is my third go at mail-order frags, and so far, my success rate is too low to keep trying.

[Flash]

do I send him pics of the empty base piece?? lol cuz I was just about to throw that out....

and I do somewhat agree.. there are other frags that I would order as replacements.. but then I'd have to pay shipping...

I did however pm him on the two that are dead....just waiting for a reply back

[agua]

wrong post, cant delete it :)

[mark]

Well both millis are gone and one of the zoo frags been closed tight for days but at least the acan is looking great. When first opening the bag and with that smell of death having 2 (maybe 3) out of 5 survive is more than I thought I would end up getting.

Wife is more upset considering the massive frags we got from Rusty a couple of days before from just trading.

Guess I'll be shopping closer the home, at least during the winter for sure.

[Flash]

final tally... 3 dead 2 alive... and I still have not heard back from burc

[saltynuts]

3dead 3 alive.
not a good turn out!

[Doo]

I am curious as to what the average survival rate is with shipping?

How do we create a forum wide pole? or has one been done?

I am not talking about any specific vendors - I would like to know what I should expect as a survival rate in general...


any ideas???

[scorpio73]

lost 2 sets of zoas closed up and havent reopened went from 15 or so to2 polyps that can be made out and one set of 5 are doing great

[Flash]

just create a general poll for people who ordered this past year

Then as what % of frags survived

so I had 2 out of 5 that would be 40%

Ive placed 3 or 4 frag orders from Snappy in the last few months and had 100% survival.. and these were all SPS frags. IMO it all hinges on the packaging. Anything less than 100% survival isnt acceptable to me.

[mark]

rough survival poll here (http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=48976)

[fencer]

I participated on this order too and the last with burc. In total I am finding a 50% survival rate for SPS frags. I find with SPS time it takes to ship is critical and temp. 24hrs even from Calgary is dicey. Packing the bags with pure oxygen works, I used to recieve shipments form Germany in this way.

[dreef]

It really help also,if the frags aren't fresh cut,like shelley pointed out about gregs 100% survival rate.He frags and they sit for weeks,or a month before they get shipped.his packing is amazing.Burc has a good product,and sure has a wide nice selection.

[fragalot]

Hello

Sorry for late reply. Please PM me your DOAs I will get another shipment out on wednesday for replacements.

Thanks
Burc

[Doo]

Hi guys, someone else will have to recieve this shippment as I will not be around :(

Sorry

Doo

[mark]

So the shipping is free for the replacements?

I'm also going to be away, if this goes through could somebody hold mine (#1,22 millis) till Friday?

[fencer]

I don't think it is(shipping)

[Flash]

i am not paying for shipping. I would like my $30.00 back

[Matt]

Likewise, I won't pay for shipping, but if this goes ahead, I can likely receive the order. I can hold your frags, Mark.

Matt

[Doo]

I am not sure if shipping is covered, but I am thinking it might cost each person around $5 (possibly under) - I am just gessing, but Burc will have to communicate that...

[saltynuts]

i am not around this week. maybe rigger will be around.

[J.Lloy]

depends on when, I might be around

[Doo]

Hi All

Let's get this going again!

If any of you have DOAs, please PM me the numbers of the ones you lost. I will send them to Burc and from there we will identify what our options are...

Thanks

[Flash]

lol I already sent mine to him... but they are :

#62
#70
#83


I would also like to get some more info.. such as what will happen if these come dead?

I won't pay for shipping. if that's what he wants I will take a refund please!

(not trying to sound rude...just being honest)

[v67gsr]

I am not part of this group buy but I have some dead frags as well.

I PM fragalot but got no reply at all and I am becoming an unhappy customer.

If he offer replacement and/or refund to this group buy, he should honor his sell to all other customers.

[Whatigot]

if you have a complaint with fragalot, contact fragalot at fragalot (sales@fragalot.ca), don't expect him to be checking canreef as much as say I do...:lol:

[Doo]

I have had the following people respond:


Mark
Jeff
Scorpio
Oilfieldsafety
Bean


I would like to setup a deadline for this, how about Sunday night?

Thanks

[noirsphynx]

All mine(except the freebie) survived. Some of the zoo's don't want to fully open but they're trying so I'll think mine will be alright.

PS-Burc, I'm loving the Bumble Bee's, thanks.

[saltynuts]

sent ya a pm and one to burc

[Doo]

12 of us ordered and 9 have responded

I am guessing the rest are fine?

Sunday night will be the deadline :)

[fragalot]

Hello

I apologize for late reply. I had couple dental surgeries thats why i wasnt able to reply my emails and PMs.

I replied all PMs. Replacement orders will go out on next week. But i need to talk with receivers which day is okay to receive the packages.

Thanks
Burc

[Doo]

Hi Burc

I am putting the information together in one PM for you and we will find a person to recieve the order and communicate with you...

Deadline is Sunday night!

Thanks

[Doo]

hi all

Tomorrow morning I will send Burc the names and numbers and we will go from there...

[saltynuts]

[rigger11]

[noirsphynx]

A few days ago a few of mine that I thought would make it have finally melted away completely too :sad:

[Murminator]

Yeah I missed out too lots a nice stuff

[Flash]

NICE STUFF, LOTS OF PROBLEMS! lol

[Doo]

Hi guys,

I have not heard from Burc yet, maybe he is busy...

[Flash]

i got a pm saying replacements will go out feb 17th.... but who are they going to?

[Matt]

I can likely receive them if Doo isn't on the job (depending on when they're coming, and to where).

[Doo]

Fencer is also willing to receive them - this is good there are a couple of options...

so far I did not get any communiction for Burc though

[saltynuts]

ok whats up. need to know. jlloy and myself are working this week(feb17)
is the order still comeing in or what.
who is the main pick up person.
need to know as i have to have some one babysit my stuff
yill my tank is ready.

[Doo]

I have not heard anything!

anyone else hear something???

[fencer]

Just the snow falling on the roof Doo

[Flash]

nothing since my pm from him last week.

[Matt]

I see that the Calgary group has had theirs shipped today... I'm not sure what's up.

[fencer]

Okay. I am planning to recieve this order on Friday. This has not been confirmed by Burc yet. Keep watchng this thread. Please make time or arrangements to get your order. I am not sure if there is a delivery charge on this either.

I will be at :
Starbucks on Jasper and 109 st on Friday from 630 to 730.

Wayne

[fencer]

As of 1300 hrs I have not heard from Burc.....

[Flash]

I am not holding my breath!

[Whatigot]

I don't know if any of you guys saw the review of this joker I put up on here before the mods took it down, but I got shorted 3 frags (out of 25), had some sent that I did not order and some that I ordered were nowhere to be found.
I've emailed Burc about this several times as well as pmd him, nicely I might add, and NO RESPONSE.
Been over 2 weeks since I first emailed him with my discrepancies.
I paid by credit card, I'm sure that makes a difference.
I don't want to push any buttons, so please, if anyone wants to hear about my experience with fragalot, drop me a pm and I'll be more than happy to tell you all about it BEFORE YOU ORDER.


Cheers.
