Anybody want to go in a 10 pack of SPS frags?

[headhawg7]

We can then get the frags for around $7.50 each. As many people want to chime in we can split them up however. Let me know. Cya Danny

[Scuba Dog]

Im game.....

[headhawg7]

Thats one. I have a good source for them cheap and nice. I will post the pages. Have you heard about the acrobugs? I have an extra pill or 2 if anybody needs them for treatment.

[headhawg7]

www.SEACROP.com 12 frags for $75. That is a hell of a deal. Let see how many more people are interested and maybe we can make a big order and get better shipping rates. I am about to start my SPS prop tank also. I just need to give it a couple more days to stabalize and it will be ready to go.

[headhawg7]

Wait a sec. Thats the wrong site. Dang it. I will find it.

[ibew323]

i have a tank with acrobugs, there is a pill you can put in the tank?

[headhawg7]

YES! Look in the SPS forum here in RC and they will describe exactly how to do it. The guy at ORA is the person who has personally run the experiments. The pills are "interceptor" heartworm pills for dogs. You need a script from a vet to buy the 6 pack of pills. It cost me $51 for the 6 pack. Each pill treats 380g though. Make sure to read the thread and article to the letter.

I Would take a couple i

Hawg,

I would like to go in on it with you....

[thedogofwar]

I want in! Thats the right site. At least I think it is, they actually have 12 for $75 and from everything I hear they are great stock.

[headhawg7]

I was wanting mainly SPS frags though. The 12 for $75 was for a mixed coral pack. Let me know if you guys are still interested. This was one of the sites I was thinking of http://www.coralsandbar.com/sps.html
and the other is http://www.asplashoflife.com/. Both have really nice corals especially the first.

[thedogofwar]

Oh ok, I'm still game. I couldn't find the details on any packages though.


....I found 5 for $75 w/free shipping

[jerryc]

OK With me whichever you go with you guys decide

[headhawg7]

Ok, I will call them today. They(coralsandbar) have some sweet frags though. I haven't seen many of those around online or local.

[thedogofwar]

:confused: Maybe I missed it but I couldn't find anything.

They do have a few "must haves"

most of which are sold out but it says 3/3 for some new stock, wonder if they've got some now?

You need us to post you $$$$$$$$$to


By the way if you get them peak out the lower light ones far me
they will be under 440 vho 55g for now going to add 2*175
Later

[headhawg7]

I have a 175w dual setup for sale if you are interested. Only asking $100 and it is only 9 months old and bulbs are 5 months old. It is all PFO. It has reflector and dual ballast.

[thedogofwar]

got any extra bulbs? I need a 175

what bulbs are they? I might just take the whole thing if Jerry isn't interested.

[headhawg7]

They are hamilton 10k's. THey need actinics for supplementation though. I have 2 new 5500k Venture bulbs that have maybe 20 hours on them. They have a real nice color to them just not ideal for reef tanks.

[Scuba Dog]

The only thing aboutcoralsandbar is that there is a lot of negative feedback on that site, but i love the selecton of his corals though....

[headhawg7]

Really? Let me go check that out. I haven't heard any negative.

YES :D ITS sold to ME :rollface:


I can wait for it at the first meeting if you need the money
before just let me know where to send it

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
Just check the venders forum......and the sponser forum....There have been some highly heated paragraphs there..

[headhawg7]

You are right. WOW, I mean there are some really ****ed off people. I would be too after hearing some of those stories. I did some reading and www.reefscience.com and www.reefermadness.us all have rave revues. I think that is who we will get them from. I just emailed both of them and ask for a price list and frags available. Probably be a few days before I hear back from them. I will update you guys as sson as I hear from them.

Jerry, if you want that light I will send it monday via UPS. should only take a day. PM me.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
Sounds great, Ill save some money then and wont spend it all at the lfs next weekend...I called and they have some great sps frags coming in....

[Scuba Dog]

Reefscience looks pretty good....

[headhawg7]

Yeah they do. I have read some good revues also on them. I hear ya bout the LFS and money thing. I am going to try to contain myself this weekend. This has to be as addictive as heroin.

[Scuba Dog]

I hear ya bro, but im pumped im finaly giting a pink birds nest lol....and maybe some more stuff, Im heading into pretty much sps clams and zoanthids direction, even thought possibly of giting a purple photosynthetic gorgonian also.....

[thedogofwar]

I agree, ReefScience looked great.

Scuba, When is that SPS stock coming in? Next weekend? Which place is it? I was hoping to get down there this weekend but I'm stuck working.

Next Weekend, maybe I could swing by, or hitch a ride if you're headed to Monroe.

I've got one of these guys I could get a good frag from. Thats not mine. Man it looks pretty beat up. :( Thats Premium Aquatics picture.

http://www.premiumaquatics.com/gorgonian/purbush.jpg

[Scuba Dog]

thedogofwar
I hear ya....I am also working this weekend three 12 hour graveyards....it will be next weekend when i go down to monroe, and you are more than welcome to come on down and ride over there with me...plus a couple of our memberes work that store! when i called them last they were going to add to the order, so far pinkbirds nest and some assorted acros ....but the best bet is to give them a call and tell them what your wanting, and they mentiond that the supplyeres have some blue zoas as well as some gold ones....

[headhawg7]

OK, I just recieved a reply from Chad at reefscience. I told him we were wanting a discoutn ona group buy and he said that any order over $350 which does not include shipping we could have 10% off any corals we choose from. I could do $100-150 easy. How bout you guys? You guys might want to do some handpicking of the corals. Those are the actual corals we will be recieving.

[Scuba Dog]

I could go a 100 to 250, as long ast i take it easy next weeeknd lol

[headhawg7]

Chad said they pack all their shipments on Tuesday night for ship on Wednesday so that would be perfect for him and us. We have this weekend to handpick off of his website and order by Tuesday.

[headhawg7]

I hear that but in this hobby I have found it hard to take anything easy. lol, feel like a junkie waiting for my next fix. My dog stares at me everynight like I have lost my mind.

[headhawg7]

So that is $200 with a max of $375. Tell you what....I guess we can post what frags we want and then we can narrow it down from there. I want # 16,22,27,04,06,09 & 10. What sweet corals these last 2 are.

[Scuba Dog]

Ok
frag 13 pink pocillpora
Frag 06 yellow tip tri color

frag 22 purple tip thin branching stag
frag 24 green cap with purple edge
soft 02290660

[headhawg7]

I have 08 and 20 in my tank and can frag for you. James is gonna come by Tuesday and take some updated pics. I would hold off on ordering those.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
Cool Ill update then, I have 4 color morphs of digies in my tank an orangeis peach.......a green, a purple tip and a blue tip. but in my system they dont hold there color well...

[thedogofwar]

Well I want 22,6,10

I want 10 for sure if theres enough to go around but I'll have to decide between 6 and 22. I need to stay under $100 including shipping, I just bought the power stuff and I need a new MH bulb. Well unless I get a sizeable contribution for the clutch install I'll be doing tomorrow. Then I'll have to pick a few more.

ok, I hate to bring it up but how are we gonna distribute these amongst eachother? between the 3 of us, we span about the entire length of the state. If you get them on thur, maybe you'ld meet me halfway and then I can take scubas to him on Sat? I gotta say though, I'd be a little nervous about handling his $200+/- livestock for a day. What would I do to hold it for a day? I don't think we want to go switching tanks 3x in 2 days.

Brandon

[Scuba Dog]

Ok I work off thursday at 4pm I could head up to that area...It takes me about two and a half hours to get to conway....

[jerryc]

maybe next time spending my 100 far lights

[Scuba Dog]

thedogofwar
True True wasent thinking, I could make it up that way or just let it settle down from shipping stress in your system for a whyle and make a trip up that way later on....

[Scuba Dog]

jerryc
LOL your the smart one lol, let us buy up the sps that you will be recieving frags from us in the next six months or so lol. got ya peged lol.....

[jerryc]

:bum: :bum: :bum: :bum:

[thedogofwar]

Hey thats a great idea, how much for insurance jerry?

Where exactly are you Danny, I forgot. We'll figure something out.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7

Frag 06 yellow tip tri color

frag 24 green cap with purple edge
SOFT0229079
This is a revision of the order , this is the actual order after my wifes input lol , have to let her pick some stuff out to, its good household relations lol

[Scuba Dog]

An Update Reefscience updated there live stock they added some extra frags to the system.....

[thedogofwar]

oh you guys are prob gonna be PO'd at me but I have to back out. I broke a retainer or something and scattered one bank of my valvetrain. Now I've got about $20 to my name for the next 2 weeks. I'm really sorry, I hope you guys have enough total to get the deal.

[headhawg7]

Thats cool. I guess so far its me and Dog. Give me a couple days Dog so I can get all my ducks in a row. I do not have a phoneline at home so no internet. I do all my chatting during work hours :D. I am on the road today on calls but will get back to you guys probably tomorrow.

[headhawg7]

How far is El dorado from Springdale? I could meet halfway no problem. I could also put it on a bus or vice versa. You could order and bus it to me if you wanted. Bus is really cheap too.

[thedogofwar]

I'll still be glad to help out with delivery/distribution if you receive the order this week, seeing how I'll be headed down to Roy's Fri eve anyway.

I'm really sorry guys, but it's my daily driver and has to be fixed.

[headhawg7]

LOL, I know how that is. No need to appologize. I am sure there will be alot more in the near future anyhow.

PS, I just sold my 92 25th heritage edition camaro. It had a modified 383ci stroker and it was fast to say the least.

[headhawg7]

Anybody else needs some SPS corals?

[Scuba Dog]

Its ok brandon priorities are piorties.....danny Im like at least five hours out of fayeteville, and since brandon is going to be down here friday that would probaly be the easiest....

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
If money gets to be an concern we could do etropicals they have free shipping for a 175 order, and they have a blue tort and green birds nest in stock.....

[headhawg7]

That sounds nice. Free freight is always a plus. Let me check their stock. I am not too picky. We can have them shipped to you or me and then put it on a bus because I am not sure Brandon wants to meet me halfway for nothing.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
Ok that sounds coo......

[headhawg7]

YEah, they have some sweet Acro's.

[headhawg7]

We can go with that package deal of 4 SPS corals and split them up. Some of the corals look pretty nice but they get kinda pricey. The blue, green and purple acros look sweet. So does that green birdsnest. That purple tipped stylophora looks freaking awesome.
Wait a sec.....whats the difference between liveaquaria.com and etropicals? They both look like dr foster and smith.

[headhawg7]

Liveaquaria.com has free shipping for $175 also. They have a pretty wide range of corals also. I wonder if we can order from both stores stock if we place one order?

[thedogofwar]

Hey can you guys throw a couple Fighting or Pacific Conches in with your order if they have any available?

[headhawg7]

No problemo. What size engine and what is the 0-60 time in that car you have as your avatar?

[thedogofwar]

Cool

It's the 5.7L LS1. best 60' of 1.77 on Nittos. It's the only time it's had DRs. I could prob shave a few 10ths if I'd been used to em.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
yeah live aquaria and etropicals are fosteres and smith....but they wont let us mix out order from both sister companys, but Ill call them anyway and ask., never hurts to try....

[smariner]

Chad here from ReefScience.com. Let me know if you have any questions whatsoever about any of the corals on our website: www.reefscience.com I can be reached via email: chadb@reefscience.com

Thanks,
Chad D. Bryant

[headhawg7]

After you talk to them let me know. I am still considering reefscience. They have some real nice corals. Let me see if I can talk him into free shipping on an order over $350.

[headhawg7]

Ok, Chad just replied to me, he has good and quick customer service and stated he could do free shipping on any order over $450 plus 10% off on an order over $350. I think it would be tough to beat some of the corals he has. Its up to you guys.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
I love reef sciences stuff no doubt , but 150 bucks for me is the limit because the lfs has a few corals coming in I asked them to order for me a few weeks ago......

[headhawg7]

Thats cool, then I guess it will have to be etropicals or liveaquaria. Maybe we can hit Chad up next time around. Did you get a chance to call them yet? Do some sweet talking and see if we can order from both places. That would be really cool.

[Scuba Dog]

Just talked with nichole over at live aquaria and they wont go for that ....since its two seperate shipping facilities....but if two deperate orders were made 175 per person one at each sister company then it would work, might be able to get someextra people abord on that one since they carry fish as well...

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
So if we order 450 we get ten percent off and free shipping from reef science, so thats about 25 bucks off not counting shipping....so its actually about 200 bucks person.....Ill get half danny if you do, sorry i didnt sipher that out sooner, waking up still on my off day...drove up t camden yesterday and picked up a john deer ridding lawn mower so I stayed up late playing with me new toy, just need to get a beer cart for it this summer lol

[Scuba Dog]

Updated order for reef science
soft0229079
soft0229060
frag 22
frag 24
frag 06
frag 12
frag 29
this can be changed up some danny depending on what frags you order....that way we can trade once they grow out some..

[headhawg7]

LOL, a little too early to think about the yard. I have my hands full with tank. The way I see it is $450 minus $45(10%) = $405 and then free shipping. I can probably talk him into $200 a piece for $450 worth of corals and free shipping. Does that sound cool? We do need to find some more people though. I will ask around here locally to see what I can come up with. The more people we have the better deal we get. Wether it is fish or whatever. Do some asking around and i will too. The reason I want to place an order like this is to avoid impulse buys at the LFS for corals I really do not want or have the room for. If we can get 6 or 7 choice corals then we will be set.

[Scuba Dog]

well my order is up to 238 dollars now so thats a chunk out of it for free shipping.....lol and i did cut the grass yesterday, all those purple flower weeds were raking off, but it is warmer way down here lol

[headhawg7]

You need to drive that thing up here and mow my yard :D. Did you hear about that guy in Iowa who got his drivers licence suspended and decided to drive his riding lawnmower to Wisconsin to visit his dying brother? LOL, He got pulled over doing something like 10mph.

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
Figures lol Ill soon grow tired of suttin the grass whenthe 90 90 is here 90 somethin degrees and 90 somethin humidity lol

[thedogofwar]

Stop by my place on the way Roy, I've got the purple haze everywhere too. How wonderful, thats something else I need to do before I head down this weekend.

LMAO Ride a mower from Iowa to Wisconsin. They don't have buses in Iowa or what?

I'm anxious to see what you guys recieve. Are you gonna get the order in today?

[headhawg7]

Probably not today. I am taking some pics tonight and if you guys want I will send you some frags. Thats the good thing in AR you don't have to pay overnight freight. I have UPS worldship and it costs at most $5 to ship anywhere in the state via ground service. From spdale to el dorado 1 day ground freight $5 can't beat that. I will post those pics tomorrow and point out which frags you want and I will send them to ya. We don't have to worry about money either. Money is not a major concern when it comes to this hobby so I will be glad to hook you guys up if you hook me up down the road when we see corals we want frags of from each others tanks. Sound cool?

[Scuba Dog]

headhawg7
Sounds sweet to me danny.....I picked up a cool purple tip marshall ora last month when it grows out ill get you a frag.....and i have a frag that looks like the purple monster except it has greenish yellow polyps instead of white.......

[headhawg7]

When was the last time you updated your pics in your gallery?

[Scuba Dog]

Its been a long time since i have done anything with the gallary.....but i have hundreds of pics just need to resize them....

[headhawg7]

LOL, you better get busy. What are you talking to me for?

[Scuba Dog]

I am danny lol , i just loaded up that lil acro , its the same one as the id thread i just started?

[jerryc]

Anyone got some lps FRAGS

[Scuba Dog]

jerryc
I might be able to locate you a baby frogspawn bud.....a lfs down here propagateds one for 10 bucks unmounted, I have a pic of mine in my gallary. it doubled in size sine i bought it last august......

[jerryc]

that would work maybe you could pick one up before the
first meeting for me or i can pay in state shipping UPS
should be overnight standard

[Scuba Dog]

jerryc
Il be down in Monroe La this saturday, and ill will take a peak and see if he has any, if not ill ask when he expects to propagate, it will be small about the width of your thumb but they grow fast for a LPS id bet mine will be tripled in size on its birthday this coming august.......too bad i cant frag mine just yst i think im about two years or so away from that, but when i do it will be like 4th generation frogspawn.....
