Other freebies eh....

Well i am receiving the order so i am accepting bribes. Let me now what you have to offer up LOL.

Keith

Better not forget to ship this one............Keith may hear about it if it somehow did not show up

I have visions of the rack jumping up into some warped stick-man and coming at you with a egg-crate knife making "weh weh weh" noises a la Psycho.

It totally cracked me up. :lol:

That is one hot looking frag there Dave.

Just dirty Dave :twised:

Don't even think about it. You are very very evil or should i say Wicked.

Keith

I finally got all the PMs out...I kept thinking my internet was out all evening...nope, I just forgot to turn my wireless back on...its definitely one of those days.

Again, if I missed you, please let me know and I'll get the pick up information out to you asap.

Please be aware that the order is arriving next week, not this week, on THURSDAY, APRIL 2nd!

No worries, I've been called both :mrgreen: Let's stick with wicked here on canreef.

so dave, do you have an ETA on the coral shipment? ive got the afternoon free on the 2nd so i can pick it up right away. How is it being shipped?

thnx

I don't have the info in front of me...however I believe the ETA has been cordinated for Thursday April 2

I may just work out perfect for you :)

oh boy oh boy, arrival date is getting close. Are these frags going to be mounted or do i need to go pick up some more super glue?

I have the tracking number!!! The order is to be delivered by 10:30 tomorrow morning.

I am taking the day off of work so i will be available for pick up all day. Please give me till 11 to get things set.

If anyone still needs my address please send a PM.

Also if i could ask everyone to use my side door please and i do not have a dorr bell on that door so please knock. If you call me before i will make sure i am within ear shot of the door.


Thanks Keith

lol the ups guys always bring it at the last second. happened both times for me.

That's why i put pick up at 11 cause every time i have done it they are always right at 10:30 or just past.

Keith

Might as well pick some up just to be safe.


I tracked the package this morning and its in town!

UPS makes a lair out of me.

THERE HERE!!!!

Give me 20 mins or so to check every thing over.

Keith

whoohoo!!

Sweet! I'm so excited! I'll definitely be there right after work, so 4ish!

I'm so excited..(whoa oh) and I just can't hide it (whoa oh) I'm about to lose controll and I think I like it (whoa yeaaaaaaaaaah)

ahem...

See you around 12:30 Keith.

Everything looks great. Heat pack still warm box was a little wet but everthing had water in it.

Some sweet looking items in here.

COME AND GET EM!!!!!

kEITH

are the frags mounted Keith?

Randy you have 2 mounted 2 unmounted.
I have some small rock or plugs here your more then welcome to.

Keith

Glad to hear everything arrived on time. Always suprising to learn that the box is wet - not sure how that happens given how the frags are packaged.

There are indeed some nice pieces in there. Post some pics!

And oh ya, aside from the yellow and pink monti frag I threw in (the one from this thread)...............ya I threw in a very small SUNSET MONTI frag. No throw-away freebies here. :mrgreen:

I put in a couple of frags to Dave. So every one gets a free frag first come first pick.

Not sure about the wet box just one corner was a little wet.

Keith

Got all my stuff landed in my tank and they look great! The green birdnest was huge, thanks dave. But taking it out of the bag i dropped it on the floor! LOL, just my luck. It's all salvaged though, now i have one decent size birds nest and two plugs covered with the bits and peices that broke off. Just gotta wait for them to grow in so they dont look ghetto anymore. The P grandis is insanely huge, all my other palys have polyp envy now. Poor things are blushing after seeing this beast.

I'll post some pics when i get back home from work.

I was so surprised at the size of that birds nest and that it was still in one piece that is amazing, (well was in one piece). LOL

And the paly was huge i have never sen that before its even bigger then the common green ones you see everywhere.

Glad to hear you were happy with your stuff. Sorry to hear about dropping that piece......hate it when that happens. FYI - that birdsnest is in my display, so large I can not remove it.

And ya, that polyp is a biggin', don't call it El Grande for nothing :mrgreen:

About the largest I could fit in the bag. Hope all the other pieces arrived looking good as well.

well..the frags are in the tank!

The Orange/Green Stylo is already nice and fuzzy and the Meteor Shower C something er rather is intense! Zoa are already open and making the zoa garden even more amazing...

question though...the green/purple spong-thingermajiger (SPS)...where should that go in the tank???? I've got 2x250W MH and 4x65W PC Actinics...good flow throughout. Right now it's not quite near the top of the tank, but not in the middle either. Guess I'll give it time to see if it gets happy soon

Good to hear!

Keep the Cyphastrea (cy-phas-tree-a) low for best colour. I keep mine 2" off the bottom in indirect light/in a sheltered located with my 400W halides.

That m. spongodes can be kept anywhere, but mid tank should do the trick. Dave

One person left for pick up. Coming a little later.

Thanks to Dave for all the great pieces and Catherine for setting it up.

Nice meeting everyone. When everything grows out you now know where i live to drop off a piece lol.:lol:

Thanks everyone

And thanks El Guappo for the frags that was nice of you.

Keith

Thank you everyone! I'm just getting ready to put my frags in my tank.

i was quiet happy with the order. all frags were quiet large and in great shape. just got them all in the tank. looking good so far. and yes that chronic shag acro does look amazing in person.

Thanks again for order Calgary. Keith - enjoy that PM, one nice SPS.

So who grabbed the yellow and pink polyp monti and tiny sunset frag freebies???

And yes - that chronic shag acro is the most under-rated piece on the site. Metallic green base with purple tips, and more hairy than ANY mille in your tank.

I'm going to wait for a bit to grab pics of the other two...and the freebie...until tomorrow. Not entirely happy in the tank yet but they still look incredible. Can't wait until they show the same PE that my other SPS are showing...

Thanks again Catherine and Keith for setting this up and Dave for the rad...er...WICKED frags (badum dum ch!)

By the time i got home tonight, only actinics were on, but here's some pics
