any interest in one? I just got some amazing frags and am already wanting to do another order.

I'm just kind of getting a feeling for it...so if you're interested let me know and I'll contact Ian. That way if/when the time comes we can all split shipping

Pazil

I may be interested. Was thinking about the purple deaths but $30/polyp is a bit steep.

my only question is...all the corals I want are waitlisted...so I don't really know how the group order would work?

I don't think it's fair that because we might be doing a group order I would get to "budge" in line for the corals....herm.....

This should not be a problem, if I have enough people in and I get at least 50% deposit. I could make a special order that can include wait listed pieces. I would then be able to get a time frame to complete the order. I will look into this further and make further notes if anything changes.

Is this done or still ongoing? I'm looking to share a shipment from Oceanic with someone. Something, uh, showed up on the website which was of an uningnorable nature..

still going on Tony. So far it's only the three of us (You, myself and Pazil) but I don't know when the two of you are looking to order?

Delphinus
04-26-2009, 02:00 AM
I'm ready to go ahead anytime. :)

Delphinus
04-26-2009, 10:42 PM
Sooo, um ... when are YOU guys looking to go ahead with this??

Pazil
04-27-2009, 12:42 AM
I heard back from Ian... I was hoping to wait until his new shipment comes in on Wed. next week before deciding. If you guys can wait greaqt but if not thats OK too.

Cheers
Lawrence

Rbacchiega
04-27-2009, 02:49 AM
I can certainly wait until next wednesday to see his new stuff.

Delphinus
04-27-2009, 03:50 AM
Wednesday as in 3 days from now, or Wednesday May 6?

Pazil
04-27-2009, 04:13 AM
Well Ian said he was getting a shipment early next week... as in 1 or 2 days from now....Thats why I said Wed.

Cheers

Rbacchiega

4!

Alright, well the general consensus is that we wait until Ian posts his new stuff on Wednesday. Then, if the three of you could PM me and Ian what you want, I'll get a hold of him and we'll figure out availability etc.

Remember;

All high end or noteworthy orders that arrive will first be offered to those that are signed up with the website and are a part of the mailing list. Only those that are signed in can purchase the livestock for a select period of time specified in the mail-out. After this time period ends the remaining livestock will be posted on the forums etc.

Signing up for the mailing list is an option as you create an account. On the homepage of the website in the lower left corner is another option for joining the mailing list.

Wouldn't hurt to sign up either way.

The Superman frags are doing really well and growing like crazy, I also have Hulk Monti frags with Green polyps, they are not on the website yet.

04-28-2009, 12:04 AM
I have just been notified by one of my suppliers that my middle of this week shipment is being bumped. This essentially means that my shipment will be in sometime late this week or early next.

If the group order is to continue before my shipment I am fine with this; however, it will be worth the wait for the new stock! I will also have more time to load some of the stock I already have in inventory.

Sorry for the inconvenience! Let me know what everyone thinks!

Ian

04-28-2009, 12:58 AM
I guess I'm OK to wait if you're OK to wait with the carpet in your care until then..

I am fine with that, the carpet is doing very well in my system.

Sorry to hold everyone up with my crap.....:redface:


I don't think you are holding anyone up, I believe the consensus is to wait for my newest shipment to arrive. I will also take a look at my inventory for you and pick a few things out that you might like, I will let you know what I find!

Delphinus
04-28-2009, 05:27 AM
Let's all get Pazil!!! Where did I put my pitchfork and angry villager murmurer bullhorn??

Er, I mean ... it's no worries at all. :)

Rbacchiega
04-28-2009, 05:53 AM
alright md...let me know what it is you're looking for. I think though, that I will need to set a cutoff date/time otherwise this will go on forever. So lets say Wednesday,by 10pm. Then I'll send off an e-mail to Ian and we can figure out payments etc.

jepree
04-28-2009, 06:37 AM

Pazil
04-30-2009, 06:12 PM

Eyford01

Delphinus
04-30-2009, 08:18 PM
Huh? Uh, what? "Tony being Tony", that means, what an incredibly awesome guy and we're all so lucky to have him enriching our lives with his incredible wit and zany stories???? Please don't answer honestly.

Well, I uh .. well, see now I'm on the defensive. I thought this is why I asked which Wednesday we meant, and I thought the answer was this last one? Sorry if I misunderstood.

Hey, no wait. I'm not crazy, way back on page 2:

Well Ian said he was getting a shipment early next week... as in 1 or 2 days from now....Thats why I said Wed.

Cheers

If you want to wait until May 6 though I guess I'm ok with that. I just wants my purple carpet NOWWWWWWwwwwwwwwww. My precious! My precious! They wants me to waits another week to see my precious. :cry: Err, I mean ... one more week is cool. I guess. <sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh>

Rbacchiega
04-30-2009, 08:19 PM
I've added you to the List. Ian and I are talking back and forth here on the forum, so we'll figure everything out. As soon as you guys give me the go ahead I'll get the ball rolling.

First time I've ever spearheaded one of these things, so bare with me here.

Rbacchiega
04-30-2009, 08:20 PM
Tony, you make me laugh with nearly every post. It's all good.

Pazil
04-30-2009, 08:22 PM
I am good to go now..

Rbacchiega
04-30-2009, 10:23 PM
alright...we're closing it then. Those who are in the order are as follows:

Tony
Lawrence
Eyford
jepree
phanman
and myself...even though I'm no longer ordering anything LOL

I'll send Ian the info right away and let you guys know how this plays through

fooser
04-30-2009, 11:24 PM
Okay, You are confirmed!:mrgreen:

Ian, I do not receive the e-mails either. Can you check on mine as well please? Thank you.

OceanicCorals-Ian-
05-02-2009, 04:59 PM
Okay! It looks like I will wrapping up this group order if everyone is ready. I will communicate the totals and details to Randi.

Shipping will likely take place on Wednesday via Westjet.

Rbacchiega
05-02-2009, 05:07 PM
I just happen to be in town Wednesday, so I can pick up all the corals and even deliver if that works out best. I know alot of you work normal hours (silly people :D ) and I've got time, so let me know where you want your corals dropped off? Does that work? Unless you guys want to possibly meet me at the airport when I find out when they land? *shrugs*

Woot Woot!

Edit: Start sending Ian your payments! The sooner the bill is cleared the sooner we can get this thing. Tony was great and paid the shipping fee already, so each of us will owe him our share of shipping which works out to 13 bucks each. (75 shipping pluss 5 handling divided by 6)

jepree
05-02-2009, 08:04 PM
who do i pay? on the oceanic site?

OceanicCorals-Ian-

I will send everyone a link with payment details today or tomorrow.

Rbacchiega
05-02-2009, 08:16 PM
yes, you'll pay Ian via the site. With the exception of the shipping costs as I mentioned earlier. That ($13) you will either give to Tony directly or figure out a way to get it to him (if I'm dropping off everyone's corals I'll just make sure I drop Tony's off last and give him all the cash)

Dolf
05-03-2009, 09:43 PM
Arrhg- not checking the Calgary forum often enough. I guess I will not be too upset- the LE Montipora Setosa that I would want is out of stock anyhow... perhaps next time...

***please, if the LE Montipora Setosa was not out of stock at the begining of the order, don't tell me- I don't want to do myself any serious harm***

Pazil
05-04-2009, 04:33 PM

alright, so everyone is paid up. If you all wouldn't mind PMing me addresses where you would like your corals delivered I'll make a schedule thinger. Depending on arrival time, Eyford01 will be helping me with deliveries, but I'll get ahold of him when I know more.

Remember to have $13 ready for me to cover your guys' portion of shipping so I can give it to Tony, who I'll drop corals off last at.

Wooopie!

But of course! Unless, somehow, "buying a pony" is not the same thing as "cleaning the glass, and shovelling the pile of GKW in the basement off to the sides so people can walk down there".

05-06-2009, 08:44 PM
alright, so I've heard from/gotten ahold of everyone.
John is picking up his coral at the airport, along with Eyford01 (should really grab the first name) If jepree can't meet us at the airport I think Eyford01 should be able to drop it off at his place...(let me know if this doesn't work and I'll figure something out)

I'll be collecting everyone's cash and driving down to Lawrence's first and then over to Tony's to drop everthing off.

WoooooooO!

05-06-2009, 09:22 PM
woot woot! just talked to Ian and flight is scheduled to land around 5:30ish, so Tony and Lawrence, please adjust my arrival time back about 30mins.

Jeff, will this allow you to be able to meet us at the airport?

jepree
05-06-2009, 09:58 PM
Yea might not be able to make that but EYFORD01 said drop off shouldn't be a problem. But thanks much for the accommodating way around me being so difficult!!! lol!!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!

Rbacchiega
05-06-2009, 10:09 PM
alright, not a problem. So what cash I do get tonight will go to Tony and the rest you guys will have to figure out with him.... make sense?

Phanman
05-07-2009, 02:56 AM
:biggrin:Big shout out to Randi for setting up the group order and to Tony for covering the shipping upfront for everyone.

Thanks again guys!

Ill post pics of the pink lemonade once its adjusted :biggrin:

Rbacchiega
05-07-2009, 03:42 AM
hahaha thanks John. That piece is a looker for sure. Now get it growing so I can grab me a frag!...You too Lawrence, that prostrata is redunkulous....

05-07-2009, 03:44 AM
oh yeah! Thanks Ian for the Lava Chalice...that thing is INTENSE pink...can't wait for that to get nice and fat.

not a problem...but if the Naso goes missing I have no clue where she is...or a couple of those corals. Great looking tank. LMK if you want a 10 gallon for seahorse babies!

Glad everyone like their Corals! That Prostrata's mother colony is the size of a bowling ball! It is a fast grower and intensely pink and hairy!

Pazil: Wait until those Zoas open, they are super cool and rare.

Pazil
05-07-2009, 04:35 AM
Thank you Ian, I am impatiently:wink: waiting for them to open. :lol::lol:

OMG that pink lemonade is just freakin amazing, easily the best piece in my tank hands down. I was kinda weary about paying so much for it but man... no regrets anymore.

Also Ian did a fantastic job packaging it with the frag upside down attached to styrofoam, and doubled bagged. You got me as a customer for life, with the excellent frags and shipping, lol.

Ill give it a day or two to get the polyps extended and i will post some pics.

oh yeah! I forgot (again) that I ordered that through Ian...now to find other things so I can get my 50 gallon tank of goodness and my nano stocked. I'm sure between Ian and Greg that won't be a problem

It is actually difficult sometimes to let these pieces go!! I get attached to them after spending so much time looking after them! I have to watch these limited pieces like a hawk!

More surprises to come..............

TOTAL buzz kill here ... I got completely blindsided by this too. :cry: My CBB passed away last night. Had him nearly 3 years. I'm truly amazed at how quickly fish "check out" when their time is up. He was fine up to about his final 3 hours.

Otherwise, my carpet was looking fine this morning, but literally, I'm sort of crying here. He was such a favourite fish. And given the current state of CBB's that I keep hearing, I don't think I will try another.

man that sucks... sorry to hear that Tony. Was this after midnight when you were about to post pics?

Yeah, I noticed the lymphocystis last night too. He didn't have that before yesterday, it came out of nowhere. I was kind of concerned about it but lymphocystis is viral and other than managing your water quality there sort of isn't a whole lot you can do about it, or so I've read. In the past I've had new fish have it, and it would go away in a few weeks or months. But then he didn't eat last night, which isn't like him, so I knew something was up with that. But yeah shortly after I tried uploading the carpet pics, he just literally laid down on the bottom and that was it.

And Randi no you didn't jinx it. Don't say that. If it was his time, it was just his time. :(

I shouldn't even have mentioned it since this is a group order thread and should be more about "w00t w00t" type posts now but I was just ... I dunno, I'm not having a real good day here. Sorry to be such a downer guys (and gal). I promise to post pictures of the carpet tonight, it at least was looking nicely settled in this morning.

That really sucks that you lost your CBB!! Sorry to hear that. It goes from excitement to disappointment at the same time. I hope at least you are happy with your new Carpet?....

On the note of CBB's, I have decided not to bring any more in as it is the consensus from the majority of aquarists that they do not do well in captivity. Which compounds the understanding of your loss as you have had yours for over 3 years and thriving. Sorry again for your loss...

Ian.

Lawrence,

Those Zoas are nice hey? I have not Id'd them yet but they are very rare; in fact, you received one of only 3-4 frags of those that I have available.

You said you wanted something rare!!
:biggrin:

That Prostrata will grown very quickly for you! Give it plenty of flow!!

Nope! Lariats are not the same..... They have similar attributes but the colors are different!

Unidentified!
