lol so now the corals are in tomorrow and we meet at little oceans 7pm ?! sounds good. my tank isnt ready anymore, i had an amonia spike that killed two softies and maybe an urchin :( ill come get the corals anyway tho :) just gonna halfto keep them in my quarantine for a few weeks.
|

perfect :D
|
2 Hrs and 45 minutes !!!! hahaha
|
lol im glad to see im not the only one counting down :D
|
how were they....lets see some pics of the new stuff
|
no pics yet :( but i ordered 9 and got more than that... did everyone get theirs?
all of the coral bags had a bad smell to them when i opened the airtight bags. i got 11: 2 doas :( acros water was cloudy and they smelled dead. BUT i put them in my refugium because the acro has 5 branches and one out of the 5 was still green, the others are white so i think it could live. 2 zoas that havent opened up, one had one of those tiny green starfish that eats corals on them, when i pulled him out of the tank he had one zoanthid in his mouth... 7 healthy looking corals and im surprised they actually opened up because my tank has high levels of amonia right now. im in the process of lowering them. |

So ya looked at the acros today and they are all dead, and the zoas arent anything special....i think 2 of them are ones i dont already have....and they definitely dont look like anything in the pictures....suffice to say i will not be ordering from fragalot again

Heres my experience so far [all SPS frags, I didnt get the chalices I ordered];
- 2/11 DOA - 4/11 have a bit of flesh receding (for a possible 6/11 dead) - 7/11 are frags I actually ordered ...so long story short I have 2 or 3 live frags (for now) that I actually ordered out of the 11. Ill try to post a few good and bad pics of the frags. Strike two for frag a lot with me, but this aint baseball - I will never reorder again. I hope everyone else's orders were better than mine - and Steve's. |

OK, and now pics you can see without laying down;

I paid 110 divide by three = $37 a frag. My advice to anyone who takes a look at this thread is to buy good frags from good vendors at good prices. All in all, you get what you pay for..., and after this order I can think of a ton of $25 frags I'd rather have! |
all the negitive remarks out there and people are still ordering from this guy. wow well goes around comes around
|
You should add your bad experience with Fragalot under the Deletion of Posts under the vendor section for him.
I am having the same issue as the both of you with the exception that he is refusing to respond and resolve. Here is hoping he will be more willing to respond to you guys. |
My frags are doing decent... nothing is dead (But definitely bleached ie. Chalice & Green Monti)
however the Zoas i orderred definitely arent nearly as colorful as illustrated will take some pics in a few days.. |
Meh i only tried Fragalot because Ken at Blue World recommended him.....up until that point it was just an idea.....i think if you arent the one dealing with him directly and are not a business, that fragalot could care less about his quality, because what he gave blue world looked alot better then our order.....oh well chalk it up to life experience....

Long story short;
I was turned on by the site and the $10 deal. Did a group order and it was mediocre for me, and good with the others. I got a $30 credit from missing and DOA frags, and posted on the "Replacement Fragalot Order" thread in the Edmonton forum to see if there would be another blueworld group order to cash in my credit. Others chimed in with an interest in a group order so there it went. I opted to host the order as it would be easier to apply the credit I had. As there is not a "credit or discount" option on paypal, I asked repeatedly for my credit or a refund to the prepaid order with no response. 3 weeks later when he sent me an email confirming delivery (which was a few days late again) I asked for a few extra frags as I saw there was no way 3 weeks after asking for my credit was I going to see it. ... my comments on the recent order above. Hopefully it was better for the others than it was for me. NOW, here's my real opinion on fragalot; Low price for a below quality product with substandard service and a mis represented product. If this were ebay, this vendor would be out of business due to the repeated bad ratings. Another problem with this is that some people in the hobby thinks a web site like that represents the truth on the real cost, quality and value on this product which fragalot gives a gross misrepresentation (i.e. 4/11 frags alive = 27.50/frag). Moral of the rant above is you get what you pay for, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, and frags are not 10 bucks from a reputable source. I would love to name a few sources, but Im out of room on this post! |
Well said stricknine
now i guess is time to move on lets do another group order else where :P haha |
Another interesting turn out from this vendor, it is nice to see that people are realizing that you really do get what you pay for..... None of the pieces pictured had anytime to heal and were likely poorly packaged and or stressed out and cut up/glued just before bagging.
I even think my old "skin flap" deals were better than those pieces. :mrgreen: |
yup im thinking that water is very expensive there as mine only had enough with them to say that they were wet lol oh well
