[Werbo]

If you are interested in any of Denis's frags please PM Denis. Arrange payment through email money transfer or Paypal. If there is enough interest Denis is gonna ship a package next Saturday. I will pick up the shipment and all buyers can get their frags at the Subway across from Uptown at 6pm.

Shipping via Island Air from Abbotsford to Victoria. Is approximately $1 per pound to be devided equally between all buyers. Should be between $30-50 total.

If you are interested please post here with number of pieces you are interested in. Denis may frag other colonies from his display tank if you contact him directly.

Denis, do you have a close up on the blue sarmentosa? Is it a true blue or green blue?

Thanks,

Wayne

It's true blue. This one is more difficult to keep.

Brad, I think you need this one too! :twised:

Denis, how much is the sarmentosa and the turaki? I am also interested in one of the pink stylo and the Bali tricolor.

Can you also pm your experience with the sarmentosa?

Thanks

Wayne

[Aquattro]

Brad, I think you need this one too! :twised:



Ya, I need one of each, I just have nowhere to put them :)

[reefermadness]

That sarmemtosa is a nice one. I dont think its sarmentosa though, maybe digitifera or humilus.

Is your tank zeo Denis?

Brad, when I go to tyler to pick up my share, I can also bring you that frag I still have here for you, and than stop by at your place to get a few frags so you get some space

i do have to cut a new one, as the one I initially had grew to the rock as it and its mother colony is growing fairly fast.

Let me know if this is option to do

[Aquattro]

I'll PM you Kevin

Hi Wayne,
They're both $20 each.
I found the Sarmentosa to be quite sensitive to alk drops and general water quality, it doesn't like to be neglected. Most of the coloration comes from polyps and it looses it when upset. Very slow grower. It needs strong flow and light. This colony is my take two as I almost lost it few years ago.
Cheers.

Come to think of it, it does look a lot like a humulis but I am definitely not a sps connoisseur. I had picked up a humuilus not long ago... Brad I gave you a frag of this... It is a challenging coral! It demands a lot of light of which I cannot give the penthouse space to at this time.

Denis, if it is a blue sarmentosa I would be definitely interested.

Hi Darryl,
That's my best guess, I did actually buy a microscope to analyze the coralite structures and properly identify the Acros I got, but I got the wrong scope with too much magnification and I can't get far enough away from the subject to see it from above. I hope to get another one later.
I'm sure its not Humilis , I got one of those right beside it.

Cheers.

[Duker]

Hey Denis i will pm you about payment, but i would like a pinkl stylo, pink prostrata and a cali tortusa please. Also i am interested in the hummilis, would you frag that to?

[freezetyle]

i'll grab a pink styli for sure. Is the sunset mille all yellow or is there some oranges in there as well?

[Borderjumper]

Any pink stylos left?

[Werbo]

I'd like to see a closeup of the sunset milli as well. Is that possible?

[Denis]

Hi Shelly,
All of the last years frags are spoken for now, but I do have bunch from about a month ago, those are a bit smaller as seen on pictures (~ 3/4").
Cheers.

I don't have any frags of this one at the moment, but I could make you one .
Sorry, I had to take a shot from the top, I couldn't get a picture from the front that looked anything like the real thing.

Thanks Jon, but that's not necessary. I've made plans for next Saturday and wouldn't be able to make the pick up.:mrgreen:

[ocean diver]

Just wondering how long does it take to grow a coral that big? they look great!!!

[Rice Reef]

Tyler, when is the cutoff date for the island order? Will Denis calc. Each person's portion of shipping or do we pay you at time of pick up?

Thanks

Wayne

[Denis]

The growth rate can vary a lot, the pink stylo is 10 years old and the Bali tricolor I have for 4 years.
Cheers.

Re. Shipping - I will pay Denis and collect shipping fees from the buyers when I disperse the frags.

Cut off date is up to Denis.

The cut off will be when the last bag goes into the box on Saturday sometime after lunch. Shipping will be divided, looks like 6 people, I'll have to pay for it when I drop off, but it will be less than $10 per person. I was told $1 a pound and I'm sure there will be taxes and fuel surcharge. I think I'll make it $8 per person, I'll cover the rest. I still have to get some boxes, hopefully local pet store has some.
Cheers.

I think I was typing same time as you.

[Nasoblond]

Hi Tyler...

I will pay Denis direct and pay you for my portion of shipping when I pick up the frags....cheers and thanks for doing this for all of us...
Claudio

[Werbo]

Claudio - Pay Denis for the shipping when you pay for your corals. $8 each.

[Duker]

Hi everyone. Turns out that Island Express will not fly on Saturday due to lack of bookings. They will fly on Sunday same time. Tyler will pick up, question is can you guys come to him on Sunday? Please let us know.
Thanks.

Send from my phone

[Rice Reef]

Denis, thank you for frags! Excellent packaging and love them labels! :biggrin:
Also a huge thank you to Tyler for arranging the group buy, picking up the shipment and delivery!

[Werbo]

Thanks Denis. Everything went well.

Seeing the pilot carry the 40lb box of coral off the plane and hand deliver himself was priceless.

[KevinK]

Dennis,

Not only the frag's where top + but also your care in how organized you packed them.

Tyler,

Always a plesure to se you an your wife, thanks for the service of meeting at the gass station, I think timing was bang on.

Any how,

Frags ar in, now gust grow, grow, grow.

[Duker]

Yup, Thanks so much Denis, those frags are so so so sweet! I am so glad i bought more than i was allowed :wink:
And yes your packaging was also very much appreciated, double bagged and color coded labels with our names and the coral names.....so thoughtful, or organized or both really so thanks for that as well.
I spent quite a while floating them, dipping them and placing them, and of course as per made some pretty nice frags of my own sps colonies in the process...full frag racks now, all small little guys but will grow and i am ready for the next frag swap.....well in a month or two!
cheers Ronnie:biggrin:

[Denis]
