skyedolphan: nice! They look great!

[Ben]

Looks good. I am also still waiting, seems most the people involed in this were from CA. I'll post pics when everything arrives!

[alexchern75]

Ben, the pretty ones I sent are in a finger tip shaped rock I believe. although it looks small due to the arrangement , you'll be able to count about 10 polyps not counting the extra piece of mistery zoas

[BKtomodachi]

USPS needs to hurry themselves up! I've got nothing.

[skyedolphan]

ya the first pic was from Cali we choose tog o overnite he sent mine to me at around 500 pm our time I got the call and they arrived here at 930 am our time definately worth the extra money to ensure survival IMO

They should be open up tonight. They were about 50% last night. I'll get a pic up soon. thanks again.....

Thank you too Sarduci for setting this up.

[BKtomodachi]

Woo! Both mine are here now! I dipped, then into the tank. We'll see what happens, although both beg water temperatures were under 50 degrees.

[blide]

Well swap went successful with Izsabelle from TX to Cali, but my other partner toddfreshman is MIA. I guess I will give it another day or so...

[nine9d]

I got mine also. Both of them. I wasn't able to check them out but acclimated and placed in tank. I'll let you all know later.

I know one of my guys got them but have not heard from the other yet. Thanks.

Hmmmm. I did get a package from my other trading partner, But that came in on a different name as sarduci sent me.

I'm working out the details of that. Didn't you confirm with your people before sending?

Well, it was the example one we used. My WallyWorld didn't have them on the shelf (go figure they were there yesterday) so I went to Target and picked up two of them that'd fit the frags I sent.

[sarduci]

Yeah, ok, I'm trying to figure out what happened here. I'm going to look through the e-mails that I sent and see if I can figure out why this is happened.

Yes that is correct. I will ship next monday via USPS 2 day. Do you wanted mounted or unmounted? By chance do you work in the city?

Hello Michael,

We have been paired up for next weeks zoo swap. I see that you are in Staten Island and was wondering if you knew about the Long Island Reef Association. We are actually having a mtg this Sat and was wondering if you were interested in attending? If so, we can swap that day (could make things simplier).

[sarduci]

Here's that chunk of the list from the e-mail I sent. If anyone had something different, please let me know. I'm going through all of my sent e-mails and they look correct.

#36 awcurl
#37 creetin
#38 trueblackpercula
#39 Pyro383
#40 GordonA

So yes, creetin and you would trade and also you and pyro383. Unless something else was arranged? I have like 600+ e-mals all related to this I'll have to look through tomorrow and this weekend.

[sarduci]

FYI - NY to WI is 3 days (ship Monday, got today), so is CO to WI apparently (shipped Tuesday, don't have them yet)..... Hopefully after the smell that came out of the first one when I opened it they'll live..... gack, tossed my cookies from the rotten egg smell...... Had to go to Hardees again and get another burger.... ggguuuuuhhhhh.......

Though, it could have been the burger to start with.....

[sarduci]

Anyone who TALKED with their partner and SENT and didn't receive anything by 5pm on 3/24/05 please let me know.

If you didn't talk to them and you sent, I specifically tried to avoid that by giving out e-mail, RC screen name, and phone if they gave it.

If you didn't hear from them and didn't send, that's fine just let me know who it was. I had three people today ask me for info again so they could send next day air...... *sigh*

[sarduci]

....And a big round of THANK YOUS!!!!!! to everyone who participated!!

I know some people had issues, and I apologize for that. But the majority have been fine.

It seems that the more people talked, the less issues we had. The less people talked (or not at all in one persons case who sent out to two people he never heard from..) seem to have issues........

[sarduci]

I'm heading to my gf's tonight so I won't have net access unless she kicks me out for ignoring her for the past few days... =?P

If anyone needs anything, the e-mail address for the swap will always be available and I just cleaned out my PM box.

[sarduci]

Oh, and as an asside to this all, I think the next swap may be a 2 frag per person or a 3 frag per person swap with one other person. I'm still trying to decide if it's going to be zoanthids. shrooms, or rics.

[sarduci]

Well, since I posted 9 times in a row I figured I'd just make it 10.

=?)

[joseney21]

that sounds cool for the next swap......the more frags the better it makes it more worthwhile.count me in.....

[SuperFishy]

i sent out 10 zoa frags and i got the same amount of frags back in sps and zoas
sad to say, some wont make it for either me or my partner, but this trade was totally worth it.
thanks sarduci(for setting this up) and Reeferjerm(for the trade)

[CritterZ]

WOW, 10 frags!

[SuperFishy]

yeah, 10 zoa frags. lol
