Anyone in Edmonton want to do a Frag A Lot order?

[Flash]

I know I even myself have had some crappy experiences in the past, but he's gotten much better and there are a few acan frags I wouldn't mind getting. I have an e-mail into him but thought I'd guage intrest here first before I put my own order in.

let me know!

[noirsphynx]

I might go in for just a few pieces. I'll also know someone else who might possibly go in too.

[Reefers Digest]

Which acans are you looking at?

I recently grabbed a few off of him and can give you visual testimonial.

[Flash]

almost all of them... let me know what they look like!!

[Brightwhite]

[subman]

[Reefers Digest]

Here's a pair of them:

Aussie Hulk Acan

The "brown" in the hulk has been getting more purple gradually, and the rainbow has yellows, pinks and oranges around its mouth when fully inflated. I knocked it with the mag-float prior to the picture unfortunately. It is completely missing the sporadic teal stripes around the edges. I would recommend trying the Aussie Ultra Rainbows #2 perhaps, in hopes of a more pronounced "psychedelic" look.

I think you can get a decent comparison of his pictures vs. 14k phoenix 250w bulbs (my pics).

[paddyob]

I just want to watch. :twised:


This could be hot.... Or oh so cold.

[The Grizz]

I might be in for some Zoas.

If you decide to go ahead with an order I'd be in for some zoa's, an acan or two and a favia. LMK!

[corrosionjerry]

Count me in.. There are several items i am interested in

[Proteus]

Hey lyndsey u know I'm in

[ScubaSteve]

I did a "test" order a little while back to feel out the waters. I was super impressed and he even gave me free frags (which incidentally has become my favourite)!

[Reefie]

Fragalot.................DON'T DO IT!!!!

Bblinks and I went in on a $300-$400 order a few months ago, and basically everything was either DOA or dead within a couple weeks.

:violin::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

[Flash]

everyone deserves a 2nd chance... i like the pics that reefers digest added! I have to get some room on my credit card to put the order through, and order must be paid for with shipping costs/tax included. last order we did I got stuck with the tax for all of the order! Subman gave me a free sub so that at least made up for it! lol! I'll let you all know what burc says when he responds, but if you'd like to pm me a list please feel free. i will pass it on to burc for availbility on saturday in hope to place the order by tuesday.

[subman]

free sub again :multi:

[Flash]

I AM NOT PAYING THE TAXES AGAIN! lmao!!! but always up for a subway melt with extra cheese! lmao!!!!

[kien]

:pop2:

[Flash]

shipping costs will be split equal ways between all parties involved. and if i do not know you, you must pay me before the order is placed. I am not in a position to but stuck with x amount tied up in frags! lol! I'd like to place the order monday night. pick-up will be at my house on the south side when the order arrives from 6-9pm

if you are doing a fragalot order have one person head it up. have everyone give that one person thier list that one person will then send list to burc and everyone has to pay thier own. to burc via email money transfer/paypal if ordering from website have burc do paypal request for payment as to not have to deal with the shipping cost. if you have enough ppl it wont be hard to reach the 300 free shipping. and burc sometimes sends free fragss to fight over amongst yourselves.

if you organise it well it will be a smooth process if you have questions ask and i can help been there done that. there will be doa's it happens mostly with sps. but on next order they willbe replaced.. as long as you inform him asap of the issue.

[Flash]

i like that plan! i already have the list started, cut off time is 12:00pm monday mst. list will be sent in, i will be notified of any stock issues and then pay the man!! lol i hate dealing with people's money and we will hit the free shipping option if there is one! I will ask regardless! hoping for a friday delivery!

free shipping is 300$ it used to be 200 but he upped it this year. this is why i made these suggestions. i had a hard time with ppl not getting shipping refunds when they ordered from the website.. but in the end burc settled up with everyone. he can be a decentguy but sometimes gets overwelmed. and never orer from him if he says he is going on vacation in a week lol wait till he gets back trust me.

[Flash]

i know how burc is and he's being awesome! so $300+ is free shipping! we will hit that no problem as I alone am half that! lol! just keep pm'ing me your lists!

[Edmonton newbie]

ill try again too flashy i will look it up tomorrow or friday and let you know

[Kevotron]

I would be down
will take a look at his site and come up with a list.

[Flash]

Alright! list is looking great so far! keep inmind that if you pay via paypal 13% tax must be added to your total order! Electronic money transfer is free tax!

[fencer]

not sure whwere your getting this 13% tax from

[Flash]

that's what I was quoted from burc as that's what paypal charges him if you pay by paypal! so it's easier to just EMT it

[fencer]

3% charge....might have changed. That should not be your worry it is the cost of doing business

[Flash]

meh doesn't bother me wayne!!! i'm paying EMT! don't want this to be a nit-pick thread. we're giving Burc a shot! he's had amazing communication with me thus far! i'm rather excited!

[fencer]

Last time I organized one with Burc it went well too.....

[Reefers Digest]

I'm heading up to his place tomorrow (hopefully) to grab a few frags. Anything in particular you want me to check out in person?

I'll throw up some recommendations when I get back tomorrow.

[Flash]

I'm getting almost all acans... the yellow eye favia would be nice to get feed back on as well!

[Kevotron]

I wanted to do some SPS frags however i am quite worried about the mortality rate of those guys once picked up lol

[Flash]

if you would like to be in on the order can you please pm me the name, qty and price. makes it so much easier them having to look it up myself! lol

[ponokareefer]

:pop2:

I agree. :pop2: This should be a good show.

[dreef]

The regina order came in today,everything looked great.Well packed and reasonably warm,polyps open in the bags.I seen about 20 sps frags,most were very generous and all alive...everyone will be happy.

[SteveConn]

Hmmm... starting to think of a spring order. Anyone in Cowtown interested?

[sphelps]

Hmmm... starting to think of a spring order. Anyone in Cowtown interested?

I'm always up for a gamble...

[Flash]

don't jack my thread! lmao!!!

so it's clear... since i am new at this

everyone pm's me what they want, qty and price. i put it in a list and write it down with amounts beside your name for your total. i place the order, once it's confirmed we can get all of choices, I will let you know what you owe and you will pay Burc on your own. the shipment will come to me, and you will come to my house or have someone else who is coming to my house pick them up for you! The faster I can get everyone's list in the faster we can process the order and get our frags. keep in mind he sells to people every day so things do go out of stock. ideally I'd like to close the order saturday night, have all payments done by monday. friday shipment is at my house!

[SteveConn]

LOL.. Sorry Flash!
I think there are a few watching from many areas though.. kinda thinking out loud.

Hope the order goes through well. I know I'll be watching for the results!

[HaZRaTTy]

IM IN :D GIVE ER A TRY.

[reef684]

i would not mind chipping in and splitting an order if you are interested.

[Flash]

list is already started, we are past the free shipping mark. I am going to close this order saturday feb 25th @ 12:00 noon. all pm's/orders must be to me by then :)

[es355lucille]

Hmmm.....interesting.....just following.

[Flash]

as it stands with the current people that are in we have a 99% fill rate. there may be 1 or 2 zoa frags that aren't availible but we won't know until the order is complete.

[FWC]

I'm interested in some coral. Perhaps some SPS and zoo's.

[Flash]

reminder cut off is tomorrow @ 12:00 noon mst.

[Reefers Digest]

The yellow-eye red favia is a beaut. I've seen it in a few tanks.

Here's another zoanthid I purchased recently:

Firehawk zoas
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g91/helloicthyology/Reef%20Forums/zoa.jpg

I find they're one of the brightest yellows I've seen in a long while, and they fluoresce like crazy under actinics.

I also grabbed a purple Bonsai... no pic yet, but it looked identical to the image on the site. It's browned out a bit, but I find it's often the case with lower-light sps (disclaimer: relative to other acropora) when acclimatizing to new lighting.

Finally, the green Acropora formosa is awesome. It fluoresces nicely under actinics and has large polyps. I'd recommend it.

[Flash]

30min and list is submitted. i will not be submitting anything after 12! as soon as I hear back from burc i will pm each of you to let you know stock. I have it in first pm'd order to last.. so if there is a stocking issue i will pm you!

[Flash]

CLOSED.

[Flash]

Looks like we have a 100% fill rate on this order!!! you will all recieve a PM from me today regarding payment. if you don't get a pm from me today please pm me tomorrow!

[toytech]

please keep us updated on how the order goes , ive ordered from them and it was ok`ish , but wow it looks like they stepped up big time with the selection and it sounds like the service is better too.

[Flash]

everything is going very smoothly! pending everyone pays we're good to go!!

[Kevotron]

I am definitely excited to see the products when they come in friday !
Woooot Woooot :D

[Jacus Placus]

Ahhh... I missed it!
Let me know on the next one....

[Flash]

[Jacus Placus]

[troni]

+1 id like to know to I might jump in next month.

[Flash]

went well! communication was amazing! going to do another group order in april! if we have enough people!

[intarsiabox]

I had ordered 9 frags with this order and all arrived alive and in good shape. I even had a bonus torch coral frag thrown in with my order! Thank-you Lindsay (I hope I spelled this right) for putting this together and look forward to getting some Acans in April if a new order goes in.

[tim the toolman]

i will also be in for an april order. somebody post up some pics of the frags you received pls.

[subman]

My acans

[The Grizz]

Looks like some decent frags you received there Flash, a bunch of us from here plan to do an order in a month or so to. Glad all went well.

[Megzer]

I was in on this order (my frog spawn is the one that was posted by Flash) and I have got to say I'm mighty impressed. My aussie hulk is amazing and my teal acan is gorgeous. I'll for sure be in on the April order! :)

[troni]

Great looking corals!

[tim the toolman]

Looking nice. Thnx for the pics. I'm definitely in for april

[FWC]

Here are some of mine. Most of them closed as I did a water change today.

[noirsphynx]

I will try and remember to get pics tomorrow, lights are half out right now.

[HaZRaTTy]

3 of my zoa frags arrived detachted from the plugs. The only coral i'm really happy with is the Torch I ordered.

If they sent me everything I ordered, I'll be waiting for them to color up beacuse they are quite bleh at the moment.

I don't think I would order from them again.

[Flash]

a little glue and you're back in business!

sorry you're not happy, but have you tried to contact anyone to discuss the situation? some colors are very different under different lights.

ftr: Burc has been amazing with this order. there will be another one mid april.

[FWC]

ftr: Burc has been amazing with this order. there will be another one mid april.

Agreed.

I got all my corals and an extra Acan to boot. Payment was easy and communication was fast.

However some of the corals could have been a bit better in quality...

[noirsphynx]

These I'm sure will colour up more once given some time. That's always been my experience with shipped corals. The order arrived okay for me except one zoa frag was doa which Burc is replacing.

PS - can't remember who else ordered the silver rose zoas but I'd love it if you'd please keep me in mind for for a frag once they grow. They were my doa and Burc was sold out so I couldn't get another at this time.

[troni]

Its good to hear from an unhappy customer. If you end up talking to them keep us posted.

[Flash]

Wait ,so we can order more things ??

[Kevotron]

Wait ,so we can order more things ??

too late now, the order was already sent

[Flash]

No it's not a new order, I stupidly forgot to submit an order. Dawns DOA shipped along with it. And the said person who's order I forgot added a few items!!! Another order in a month!!!!

[HaZRaTTy]

Its good to hear from an unhappy customer. If you end up talking to them keep us posted.

If you were talking about me, I was not "Unhappy" I'm sorry if I came up that way. I simply posted what came to me.

I am however VERY happy with the stuff that came without problems. Also that I emailed BURC about the mix ups, and there was a very cooperative polite response to fix the problem within 10 minutes.

I am very happy how easy that was to deal with the problem. I would order from Burc again. There is nothing better then good customer service and a quick response and responsibility to fix a mistake. This all being said, I would deal with Burc again for these reasons.

[Flash]

SO.... just talked to burc... says another shipment is coming in thursday, site wi8ll be updated this weekend... another order next week anyone?! lol

[tim the toolman]

I'm in and so is allan. Let me know the details.

[The Grizz]

I would love some of those blue eyed blond Zoas!!!!!!!!

[Flash]

well pending the site upgrade and people are organized (more so me) lol money will be due monday payable to burc... I'll start a new thread we need to hit $300 for the shipping to be free! I'm in for about $60.00 already!

[The Grizz]

If I order something Lyndsey will you hold them until i can come get them.

[noirsphynx]

Depending on what he adds but I'll probably be in for something :smile:

[Flash]

yup will hold it for you greg no problems! you have a tank I want! lol!
