Thanks!
For the size thing just to be safe is the measurement referring to the skeleton size? Or when it's fully expanded. Only reason I ask is sometimes you can buy an open brain, torch coral or other LPS coral at a small size and they can easily expand to twice their size in a few days, the only thing constant is the skeleton, so I'm assuming that's what we should be measuring? |
IMO for things like torches ETC it should be per head. this is how they are sold. and i have one with 6 legs on the skeleton but only 3 of the legs have coral. it does however have about 12 heads. but again it comes down to honor as without being able to veiw it close up it would look like 3 heads in a pick. im not using this piece as i just took it out of my other 10 as its sweepers could reach almost 3/4 the way accross the tank.

Since we are using them for alot of pricing, might as well measure them as such. |
So are we to measure estimated full expanded size then or just skeleton? I'm good with any method just want to know which one to follow.
With torch, frogspawn, and hammer per head is fine but not all of these corals are branching style you can also get ones that grow from a single head. |
So, I did a bit of work, and put together a fairly good price list. I know I am missing things, but this should cover most of the common stuff.
If you have something that isn't on the list, post or PM and I will get it priced and added to the list. Here is what I got so far. Zoas: - $5 Zoas (>15 heads) - $10 Zoa Colony (>15 heads) GSP Frags (Sizes based on mat width) - $10 < 1.5" - $15 2"-4" - $20 4"+ Ricordia/Yumas - $5 Smaller than a Toonie - $10 Larger than a Toonie Mushrooms/Metalic Mushrooms - $5 < 1" - $10 1.5"-2.5" - $15 3"+ SPS Frags (Acro, Mille, Digi, Birdsnest, Monti.. etc) - $10 < 2" - $15 2"-5" - $20 5"-15" Clams (All species, Sizes based on length, not width) - $20 < 2" - $30 2.5"-3.5" - $45 4"+ Hammer, torch, frogspawn, Bubble coral.. stuff will long polyps that reach out: - $15 Small <3" (Skeleton @ Widest part) - $20 Large >3" (Skeleton @ widest part) For things like Brains, lobos, favites, plate-ish stuff: - $15 Small 1.5-2.5" - $20Large is 3"+ Duncans: -$10/single head -$20/double head -$30/triple head Dendros - $10/polyp Suncoral: - Yellow (tube coral): $15 small (<2"), $20 large (>2") - Black (tube coral): $20 small (<2"), $25 large (>2") |
This price list is a good thing. Too bad it wasn't done before the contest started. I have based the prices of my tank on the first post, as well as emails with you and Michika.
I am now sitting at: Prices on first post: $237.89 Added last night: Used Korilia Nano Powerhead $26.21 Added last night: 4 Blue Mushrooms $20.00 Added last night: Small Devil's Hand $15.00 Total Tank as of last night $299.10 Added today because of price increases $45.00 Total Tank as of today $344.10 Looks like I'm over, so I guess I'm disqualified. |

Where were your increases? |

Also Dendros and Duncuns should probably be the same price ($10 per polyp), and suncorals should be much less and probably per colony with similar pricing to other LPS. |

Recommended Suncoral prices? |
Should we eliminate the rare zoo pricing and just have zoo pricing? I'm just thinking to keep it simple as there are other rare corals other than zoos and people may have different opinions on what exactly is considered rare. Or keep it as is, just asking :biggrin:
I know this is probably a little frustrating for some and obviously it would have been better to have everything 100% at the start but since this is the first contest we should all bare with JDigital (including myself) and accept the fact that we're all learning here as we go and somethings may change but only in the spirit of helping everyone in the contest. Thanks JDigital for putting up with all this and especially me, I would have quit a long time ago :lol: Yellow Suncoral (tube coral): $15 small (<2"), $20 large (>2") Black Suncoral (tube coral): $20 small (<2"), $25 large (>2") |
Prices from 1st post:
Quote "$10 small colony of special rare zoas, or regular zoos that are 15-50 heads" Pricing on my thread as of last night: Quote "9 med zoanthids (15 - 25 heads) @ $10.00 each $ 90.00 (transferred from 50 gal tank)" Pricing on today's thread: Quote: "- $15 Zoa Colony (>15 heads)" Pricing of my tank as of this afternoon has increased by $45.00. This $45.00 increase has put me over $44.10. |

Hahah! I won't be organizing the next one.. :lol: Sounds good on the Zoos as long as we can all agree that is the best plan. Would make my life easier. :mrgreen: Suncoral Pricing added. |

Prices reverted to Original. :) |

No one was DQ'd... and the zoas were the only thing that I changed. My mistake. Just trying to provide a detailed price list for everyone to use, and at the time there was a regular and rare zoas to price accordingly... Now that they are the same price, there shouldn't be any issues. |
I bought a baby ricordia from a LFS for $9.99. Is it safe to assume I can add one of my baby Rics for that price as well?

Sorry, I have no idea how I missed that, thanks.

Am I the only one getting confused here? I'm constantly having to shuffle through this thread to find prices on corals. Is there anyway a sticky can be made at the first of the post where the concrete prices will be so we're not having to dig?
|
STICKY THiS:mrgreen:

Well while ive been gone i see there are lots of posts. had a bit of a time catching up. the who price change and rechange was new to me. and believe it or not i think i may have a decent idea. i was looking around and i have seen no prices on CUCs. i was just wondering if perhaps we wanted to set a flat rate for things like hermits, snails and such. just and idea.
Marg snail 1.5 sm turbo 2 lg turbo 3.5 red hermit 1 blue hermit .75 sand sifting star 5 astria snail 1.75. ??????????????????????????/:wink: |
Would we not post the prices on a CUC as the actual prices we paid when we went and bought new ones?
I paid $1.99 for a Blue legged hermit crab, so that's what I posted. |
I think you're suppose to go by J&L pricing for CUC

Sorry feeling ignorant here. does this mean on anything we paid more retail than listed at jl we use jl's price ?( used less 25% no used price on livestock) and anything we got at a price better than jl we list at that price provided we can supply a recipt?
Sorry i am jsut trying to find out if there is a standard here or if its all what we paid individually. |

Is a very small leather frag that's about the size of a toonie still $15? I'm also wondering about a sun coral single polyp. I have one that I paid $5 for a while back, is it still $15 for a single head?
|
If you can provide the reciept for the good deal, you are welcome to use the price you paid, otherwise we all need to stick to the price list. :)

I thought everybody paid the same on LS. I didnt think we could 'score' a good deal on LS and corals.
For instance....Im getting a bunch of mushrooms for 'free' in which I 'scored' a deal. I guess I dont have to claim them in the budget then. |
