[paddyob]

Can you combine Blue World with AI and Red Coral? I would be down for that tour!

[fencer]

These were combined for geographic reasons. And before anybody asks...there are two dates because last year everybody sort of ran out of gas near the end of the tour

[reefwars]

I'll be going on both days , looking forward to some deals lol :):)

so how does it work do we all go as a group then spens so much time at each or do we just meet by chance there??:)

Anyone wanna car pool from the west end ??:):)

[fencer]

Dawn ....I am just waiting for somebody like you to suggest secret santa

[noirsphynx]

Dawn ....I am just waiting for somebody like you to suggest secret santa

Oh, haha. From the post I assumed it was a go ahead. I miss out on what's going on now :sad: I know I can't make the meets but if there's enough members going in I'd be in for it even though I can't make the meets unless there's one held on a Saturday(hint, hint :wink:).

Hi Neal

Did you get the caddie limo ready? Beautiful car, I was wondering did you call it spice 2 or spice 56?

Felix

[howdy20012002]

I did get it on the road
It is now off the road for the winter till April
I just went with a normal plate and will probably get Spice64 next year
thanks

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Red Coral Edmonton will offer

10% off dry goods

[fencer]

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Yes Wayne.....limit one per customer.....so come and spend multiple 50 dollars and bring tons of friends lol.....

Steve

[fencer]

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Wayne not too good with the reading comprension are ya? Limit one per customer..... Lol like you are gonna spend 100 anyways lol.....

Steve

[reefwars]

and were talking canadian dollars right???;)

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Lol Denny if you want you can convert it to pounds stirling if you prefer...... Hahaha

Steve

[paddyob]

If it snows like today... do we get extra incentive to LEAVE OUR HOUSES!!!! LOL.

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Patrick is this your first year in Edmonton? This is only the first snowfall.... The best incentive I could muster up was the oilers tickets..... Maybe you should give me incentive to leave my house and open the shop that day hahahahaha

Steve

[paddyob]

Patrick is this your first year in Edmonton? This is only the first snowfall.... The best incentive I could muster up was the oilers tickets..... Maybe you should give me incentive to leave my house and open the shop that day hahahahaha

Steve


I got an incentive for yah Steve. Sales. HAHAHA!

[fencer]

Steve

So ..just trying to clear up the ambigous statement

It should read ...if you spend fifty dollars or more you get an entry form for the tickets. Limit of one entry per individual

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Patrick I'm going to hold ya to it, and as a special treat I'll make sure I have some choice pieces for ya!

And Wayne I'm pretty sure if you read what I wrote again it says that..... Lol

Steve

[reefwars]

Steve

[thanhjenn]

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Steve

[reefwars]

[reefwars]

Well then, I will be at this tour too.


btw dawn i still have that clown goby....do you still want him?

Steve

Steve, I'll grab my little darling on Saturday :mrgreen:

[RedCoralEdmonton]

sounds good Dawn!!!

i guess cuz everything is being switched around last minute, i will honor the store tour sale for the entire weekend, i dont want anyone who hasnt been on canreef for a while to miss out, and still do the draw on sunday at 6pm for the oilers tickets.

Steve

[noirsphynx]

Approximately what time is everyone going to head over to Red Coral. Curious because seeing how I work at AI I probably won't go there.

[fencer]

Aquarium Illusions specials added

[fencer]

Marine Aquaria specials added

[BlueTang<3]

All corals and frags buy 2 get one free or 25% off singles

Does this apply for the shortcakes as well?

[paddyob]

So maybe I missed it.... but are we all gonna meet at a certain time or is it free for all?

[fencer]

Free for all.....last year it was just too rushed and hard to get people to leave at one time....if it gets more popular more people we can get neal to drive us in the Limo. For now all you have to do is just say your from canreef

[BlueWorldAquatic]

After hearing from a few Out of towners that may not make the tours.

I will honor the sale prices to them if they cannot participate.

We will be offering the standard 15% on livestock, and 10% for drygoods. Will be instore specials.

Coraline encrusted Indo rock will be on special for those wanting any.

For those interesed, we will have a few Achillies Tangs, and Sargasium Triggers by then also.

Ken - BWA

[paddyob]

Free for all.....last year it was just too rushed and hard to get people to leave at one time....if it gets more popular more people we can get neal to drive us in the Limo. For now all you have to do is just say your from canreef


Limo? How popular does it need to be? Ha ha!

[fencer]

15 fills a limo nicely

[reefwars]

Limo? How popular does it need to be? Ha ha!

I could bring two fir the limo and I could find more if anyone want to do it??

[paddyob]

Honestly that depends on the cost. Not really looking to drop too much extra while "going shopping".

[reefwars]

If Wayne or Neil wants to pm ne with a price or roughly how much it costs I could probably throw a good chunk to keep the cost down , would be nice to go around as a group:):)

[fishoholic]

Honestly that depends on the cost. Not really looking to drop too much extra while "going shopping".

Neal offers the limo for "free" but we usually give him $10 each to pay for gas and his time.

[paddyob]

Well tomorrow is the day. Let's see if many are interested. If not... I won't lose sleep.

Time is also a concern.... whether or not 15 people can coordinate is another question.

The other concern is that some of us are going to have to drive "a distance" to meet anyhow.... so depending on that.... driving might still be better.

Let's see what happens.

[reefwars]

Me and my roomate are in if it goes, I'll try to line up some more today right quick:):)

1). Denny
2). Curtis

[fencer]

Save the limo for Tank Tours

[paddyob]

Save the limo for Tank Tours

+1. I think that would be a better idea. I would be more into that.

[fencer]

Steve

[fencer]

He said he'd be will to trade a frag of his fancy coral for a frag of yours :mrgreen:

[BlueTang<3]

Thats weird i don't remember saying that. I will not be cutting this coral for a very long time so mise well get on the list.

[fishoholic]

Thats weird i don't remember saying that. I will not be cutting this coral for a very long time so mise well get on the list.

Oops sorry for the misunderstanding :redface: I meant Doug is willing to trade a red planet frag for a frag of your strawberry shortcake, whenever you are ready/willing to make a frag of it. I realize it would probably be awhile before you'd frag it.

[BlueTang<3]

Oh i guess i misunderstood. Here are some teaser pics from yesterday http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_2025.jpghttp://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_2022.jpg

Thanks Ken for the Timmys coffees and donuts. It was a very nice reception.
Lots of beautiful corals and fishes. Hector was very cute.

Just too bad that a person needs to show restraint when one's tank is almost too full. It was a great time.

Thanks Wes for the donated corals raffling for the Edm Food Banks. Bless your heart.

Thank you to Fencer as well for organizing these events.
