I contacted J&L yesterday inquiring about Copperbands and Royal Grammas. $54.00 for shipping, up to approx 15 items. Coral or fish. The fish I'm interested in wont be in for a few weeks though...I won't pay that for 2 fish so I'm interested in joining the chaos... :lol: . Is this delay feasable for any of ya'...? Bob, don't blow a head gasket ! :wink:
I'd like to go to Wai's this afternoon for a CBB but I'll gladly/preferably wait if others are "on stand-by".

Delays generally only give me more time to save up for the cash to pay for stuff, so unless I'm in some kind of desperate withdrawal for new stuff, I have no issues with waiting.

I have no issue with not waiting, either. I'm just along for the ride on this one, so I'll go with the flow, where-ever it goes ...

Either way is ok for me but I wanted to get firstish type pick on their colonies of sps.

"Just along for the ride..." ? All right who's drivin' this bus ? I guess I pass on the journey to Wai's today :cry: . I hate having to be patient !
Can we get a head count for who'd be interested in a mid-Feb. order...?
One now, one later...? I don't want to be the guy who screws up plans for an order in January... :wink:
Ross; ???
Bob; ??? :evil:
Jonny; ??? :?
Tony; ? :? (he's the guy in the back row of the bus :wink: )

I would like to know how I got tagged as being the only evil one :?: :?:

I have to hang on a bit, I just bought another RG, and would like to see if this one survives. :oops:

not sure if you guys got this email from j & l :

Greetings!

There has been great expectation of our Tonga & Fiji shipments that were
due to arrive this week (clams, sps, rock, etc.). Unfortunately there was
quite a severe cyclone that went through that area of the world this past
week. Due to this storm, many shipments either got postponed or cancelled
completely. Because of this there will be NO SPS shipment this week.

Some of our upcoming shipments are scheduled as follows:

Tuesday Jan. 21st: Tonga - Rock & Clams
Friday Jan. 24th: Indian Ocean/Maldives - Fish
Friday Jan. 24th: Fiji - SPS (TENTATIVE - NOT CONFIRMED!!)
Tuesday Jan. 28th: South America - Fish (Queen & French Angels, etc.)
Thursday Jan 30th: Bali - Fish


so i guess we'lll be delayed again for some sps...i am interested in getting some snails too as i am recently starting to develope some gross brown algae....so i dont know if this should be a separate order or what...maybe we could have one for snails and what not then one for fish and corals and rock? any ideas?

Is anyone that want's the sps/or other corals intrested in ordering form SWC? I would be up for that too. I just want corals so that's what I am after.

You might reconsider the snails especially if the algae is on the sandbed. Snails like Astrea seem to be unable to get traction on the sandbed, and won't go there. I myself have had a lot of luck with a fighting conch. I rotate him between two tanks so that he can keep both sandbeds clean. :wink: :D

i do have some conches...they are doing a good job on the sand bed, but i am getting some on the rocks....I kinda want to get this algae before it gets a strong hold, so would it be feasable to get the snail order going before the others? seeing as how shipping for them is just one set price, we wouldn't benifit from combining it with the fish/corals. this is tentitively what i will be going for with the snails.

5-astrea
5-cerith
5-margarita
5-nassarius
5-turbo

OK I don't get that. What do you mean it would be a set price?? I always thought we would benefit by combining things.
