ReefTopia Group Buy

[aaron]

Shaun, if you are still getting part of the order sent to your place it would be more convenient if you could get my stuff sent to your place too. As long as you dont mind me collecting it that is.
I can come by as soon as they arrive so you dont have to worry about keeping them in your tank or anything
Let me know, thanks
Aaron

I can pick up the anemones in Manhattan on Friday. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it.

Shaun, I spoke w/ Tony @ Reef Exotics this morning. He does not have cleaner shrimp in stock, but will email/call me when he does. He said he would put some aside for us. I'll be able to pick them up, but would have to drop them off at a central location for distribution.

Does Petco sell cleaner shrimp for like $21 or so. They always seem to have them and I would think it's probably better to pick one out if the price is about the same.

 

[ShaunW]

Dean, I agree with Michael. I am just going to buy them from Petco (or like store). The extra $5 doesn't bother me.

 

[Deanos]

Agreed. When's the invert order being placed?

 

[bad coffee]

Last cleaner I bought from petco died 2 minutes after hitting the tank. And that's after 2 hours drip acclimation. I was pissed.

And petco usually has them for $25. Since I want 2, it's $15. that's enough to make a difference in my world. I'd bet they're healthier shrimp from elsewhere as well.

Hay Brett,

Give Petco another try. I got two from petco like 3 months ago, they are still well in my tank. I brought it for like 19.99 each, but two weeks ago, i saw it was 16.99 or 17.99 at Union Square petco. I only acclimate for like 1/2 hrs and drop it in my display tank. The second i drop it in my tank, i saw baby cleaner shrimp hatch....lolz...but none survive.

Oh, if you do plan to get it at petco, go there on wednesday night, that's when they restock.

hey guys,

Sorry I didn't check the board for several days. I though the group buy fell through during the frag meet. Can I still cancel my order?

Peter

 

[ShaunW]

The order is in!! Delivery will occur on Friday before 10:30am to Michael's apt.

As suggested by Reeftopia, they have packed the critters per each persons specific order, so if you can pick them up on Friday they suggested not even putting them in the temp tanks at Michaels. Too many changes in water could hurt them.

Myself, Aaron, and Kris' delivery is coming to me in Brooklyn. Aaron and Kris can you pick up your critters on Saturday around mid-day?

Pmui, I canceled your part in this order. Look for the price breakdowns once I tally them.
