Anyone want to go in on a reeftopia.com order?
Need to order $99 to qualify for free shipping. They seem to have some really cheap prices on cleanup crews.

Order has been placed. Should arrive on Wednesday morning. I will be home from work around 6pm on Wednesday. I can hold anything in my system if you can't make it, but please make arrangements ahead of time.
Thanks Ray |

The order arrived at 9:30am. I am not sure what time I will be getting home from work but I should be home by 6pm.
If you have any bags or containers to put the critters in that would be good. I don't have many bags. --Ray |

Thanks Ray.
I will give you a call and let you know what time. I will try to make it between 6 and 7 if that is good for you (but can be later if needed). |

Well - my Extra large peppermints did not make the night. I acclimated them and then put them in my fish trap so they stayed isolated. My 12 Y.O. is sick so I am up with him - so I checked on them and they are all dead. Disappointed with Reeftopia as they shrimp were small for "Extra Large" size. And they had all four shrimp in one small bag - which is directly opposite of what they say on the website. Live and learn I guess - Bean - did yours make it so far?

No... the shrimp did not make it. The peppermints I got from eTropicals did a little better, but I lost most of them also. They were even smaller.
I think maybe purchasing them locally is a much better option. The snails all look good though

I will have to check mine. I threw them all in the sump since they were so small.
So far all of my snails seem to have made it. The astrea's seem to be the best deal. The hermits were way too small and the peppermints were average size at best.... The porcelain crabs they sent were really nice but Kevin picked them up before you all could see them. It would be nice if they would have had better pictures on their websites, maybe have the small hermits next to a penny or something so you can really tell the size... |

I already got rid of them... It would appear that the whole shipment died. If they don't honor the guarantee... Oh well, lesson learned.
If I had it out with them it would be over the "large peppermint" designation and the $5 cost... but that also is a lesson learned

I need to find a better spot for it. It is pretty shaded under the center brace. I thin I will do some rework tomorrow. It is a very nice looking piece and I do not want to it be unhappy.

I talked to the people at Reeftopia.com. They will send 10 free peppermint shrimp with out next order (if there is a next order!).
I was at wet pets last night and their peppermint shrimp were smaller than the ones reeftopia sent us and were $10. It was just misleading saying extra large. To me an extra large peppermint shrimp would be 2x's the size of the ones they typically sell in the store. I told them that but they did not comment. |
