LiveAquaria Order

[hollback]

Hey People,

I am planning on placing an order for some livestock sometime in the near future and was wondering if anyone wanted to add on to my order to cut down shipping cost. Let me know if you are interested.

Jason

[TacoKing]

Hmm. I might be interested. I need to get some mandrins.

[jakano]

count me in. just let me know.

[hollback]

I would like to place the order tomorrow or Monday if possible so just let me know what you would like to order. PM me or post here.

[thebrian]

Would I be accurate in guessing you're getting more pipefish from them?

You are correct. I am actually debating if I should get the ones at Byerly's. They are not the species I had requested so I don't really want them but I feel bad since they ordered them for me.

[TacoKing]

If they arn't what you requested, then there's no reason for you to take them.. I'm actually going to stop by there today on the way home. If they've got Mandrins i'll probably just get them locally. if not, i'll give you a call tonight and give you my order.

I'm guessing you wanted the Multibanded Pipefish (Doryrhamphus multiannulatus), and instead they got you the Banded Pipefish (Doryrhamphus dactyliophorus). If you don't buy them, I'm sure someone will, so don't worry about it too much. They're a fish that they don't get in there all that often, and they're not very expensive, so I'm sure that someone else will want them.

[hollback]

Right again Brian. I wanted the Doryrhamphus multiannulatus. You are probably right. I just feel kind of bad putting in a special request and not coming through, but it is not what I ordered. :)

[jakano]

hey j sorry but count me out. none of the fish i want are in stock.

[szwab]

sent a pm

[zeppelin]

[hollback]

Take a look and make sure I have everything correct. I would like to place this order tonight. That means that the livestock should arrive at my place on Tuesday. I'll take an extended lunch and anyone who wants to pick up stuff then can. The rest of you can come by after 5pm. I'll float everything in my tanks. I will not deliever to your place. I'll keep everyone involved updated in this thread.

thanks,
Jason

[TacoKing]

What, you won't deliver?! What kind of service is that?!

[prance1520]

I'm with Rob, I'm never ordering from Hollback Inc. again.

Thanks for putting this together Jason. I just wished I would have ordered a spotted mandarin. I feel left out. :rollface: We better hope all those mommy and daddy mandarins have been busy lately.

[hollback]

OK folks, you have till 4 pm today to correct or change your order. I'll place it then.

Thanks.

[szwab]

thanks Jason

All right Brad, I got you down for...

- Spotted Mandarin






OK, no more orders. I don't have that large of a credit limit on my card. :D

[porky]

So funny... this takes me back to Paletta's speech. He mentioned how a speaker at IMAC recommended a product and the next day everyone had to have one.
Looks like the phosphate reducers aren't the only ones that are going to get some play from this Paletta speech...

[hollback]

So true. I should probably get a mandarin also. Just incase I ever get flatworms. I know, I'll keep the mandarin in my phosphate reactor! ;)

[TacoKing]

A little scary how people are so ready to buy stuff just on one mans advice :)

Porky, I was wondering how I was going to heat crimp all the outputs on the return.

How much glue to order for prop of SPS that I don't have...

Run a dual phas reactor....

Keep the new mandarins happy......

and remember to frag more than two polyps at a time.....:lol:

[porky]

:lol:
Yep! It was very informative and Mike left us with a lot to talk about and plenty of suggestions.
I'm just glad so many people got so much out of it.
To be honest, I really didn't expect to come away with as much as I did!
I could see us inviting Mike back in the future!

[hollback]

OK. I placed the order. Everything should be here on Tuesday. Feel free to PM me for my home address. I'll see everyone next week!

Here is what I ordered:

Mark:
- Spotted Mandarin

George:
- Spotted Mandarin

That's almost worth it with the gas prices right now...

[Lincutis]

Thanks Jason.....

[hollback]

The shipment is on schedule and should be here shortly. I'll let everyone know when I am home with the fish!

I just noticed that :)

Anyways, good deal! I'll be over after work. Doesn't look like we are moving Sedar's tank tonight so all is well.

-Rob

[hollback]

OK. They just came and I'm heading home. I should be home from 12-2 and then back at 4pm. Come by when you would like. I'll pm each of you my address and cell incase you need something.

Thanks everyone.

[hollback]

Hey guys. I had one DOA. You guessed it, a mandarin. Since they won't ship another for free I was hoping someone would step down (or only take one, Rob). Let me know what you guys who got mandarin's want to do.

I should be home the rest of the day so just come on by.

[TacoKing]

Were any of them sexed? or can you sex them? I was hoping for a pair, so two males wouldn't work anyways. If they are all males, I"ll accept the DOA. If not, well I guess I could be possibly persuaded as well.

[prance1520]

Hey Jason,
I'm heading back to columbus from youngstown in a couple hours. Is 10 tonight too late? If this is a problem call me at 330 881 1535. Thanks again.

[zeppelin]

Got my basslet. Thanks again Jason. ;)

[szwab]

thanks Jason!

great timing on this one!!

[Lincutis]

Thanks Jason for ordering. I let the tailspot fly after 2 hours of acclimation and he took off like a dart. I probably won't see him for 6 months.:lol:

I didn't think he would be so small. He could be staring right at me and I might not see him.:cool:
