Clean up crew order
 

I am planning to make an order from J&L but shipping would be nice to split amongst say 4 or 5 others:wink:

Apparently if the order is over $200 we would be able to forgo the "Box Charges"

I am personally looking at 60-80 bucks worth of stuff.

Post interest here.

If you think another place would be better make a suggestion and I will look into it.

I need a few small plumbing bits for my new tank so if you guys order we could do it all together.

Maybe check OA as well, there are a few things I need from there too :)

I would be in for a couple items as well. Depends on if it is dry or live but i could do for both!

Steve

personally I am looking at a live order.

J&L seems to have better pricing on inverts.



Robb

I just need small pumbing bits, you could fit all of them into a space smaller than a shoebox so it can go with a live order no prob. I'd be spending $75 minimum, maybe as much as $130.

For a live order i would be looking at $30-$50.......roughly! I might add some things on if needed.

Really need another seio powerhead though.

Steve

I could probably be persuaded on a few things. What timeframe are we looking for here?

I gues that depends on the group consensus:mrgreen: I am hoping in the next week or two?

Sure wish local Fish stores would keep large stocks of cleanup crews :sad:

Robb

I'd like to have everything by the end of next week.

I wouldn't mind joing for some cleanup. I'll be damnded if I can find a couple small pepermints in this city. Big Al's was supposed to get some in two different shipments in the past month and have not got any in :(

if there is enough interest, I could order a really large reef package such as:

150 Blue leg hermits $1.30-each
30 Red Scarlet Hermits $3.30-each
50 Astrea $1.70-each
50 cerith $1.70-each
50 Margaritas $1.70-each

Assuming $55 for delivery if we pay the above rates per animal, I would break even.

I would need the money on the day we order, as my wife will kill me if I don't have the money to apply against the credit card purchase. If this is of interest let me know. we should be able to tack on some peppermints, and cleaner shrimp for no extra cost, as $55.00 shipping would be for 20 bags, and we are currently at seven.

Edit: GST would have to be added on I guess:redface:

Hey Rob, if you get that order put me down for

10 BL Hermits
5 Cerith
5 Astrea
5 Margarita

Thats good for $38.50 (I'll give you 40 bucks)

I'm also looking for 2 cleaner shrimp, do you think they'll swap out various other cleaners and adjust the price for that? Also, I'll PM my buddy to see if he wants to get in on some of it.

Basically if we call sell that entire clean up crew at the prices suggested the shipping for up to 20 bags would be covered. this clean up order would account for 7 or 8 bags, so we would have 12 or 13 bags to work with. I am hoping to be able to order a cleanershrimp for myself, and perhaps a flame angel since they are half the price of local shops. I wonder how many shrimp would be able to fit in a bag?

I am interested in:
10 BL Hermits
5 red hermits
10 cerith Snails

Robb

I'll be in for a clean up crew and/or live rock? i'm going to spend $100 minimum!

Robb, I have no problem paying you upfront :)

Let me know what interest you get because I would definatley be in for two peppermints and 1 skunk cleaner, a couple nass snails and a couple bumblebee snails.

:D

- I'll look through their coral slection as well, there might be a piece or two I could get.

Why not support our sponsers.
Id check with Ocean Aquatics as I bet their prices would be better than that on a large group order. :wink:

I would be going for:

20 BL Hermits
5 of each snail

Money up front is not a problem at all. I am also interested to see what OA will give as a deal.

Steve

I know I want about a minimum of 50 BL crabs, 15 cerith snails and a cleaner shrimp.

maybe we should get an order total and see what kind of deal Ocean aquatics would give us?

Hey, I could be in on this order too. I only need a few things, so if that won't work out.. then no worries.

Interested in:

3 Blue leg hermits
5 Astrea
3 cerith
2 Margaritas

Let me know if this could work. Thanks :smile:

(PS: Astrea's are the one's that will be more prone to eat small bits of hair algae, correct?)

I have e-mailed a link to this thread to Wendell, so perhaps we will hear back on the board soon.

Robb

If this isn't too out of control yet, let me help it along. :lol:

I too am interested in a top-up of my cleaner crew. I'd like some astrea snails, turbo snails and margarita snails, say ten each. Also, about ten of the red scarlet hermit crabs.

im also intrested prolly 20 bl hermits and some snails. just wondering where we are going to order from first.

so far we are looking at :
113 blue hermits
30 Astrea Snails
22 Margarita Snails
43 Cerith Snails
15 Red Scarlet Hermits
4 peppermint shrimp
2 cleaner shrimp
2 nassaruis snails and 2 bumblebee snails

We are getting close to completing a full #7 critter pack at J&L.:mrgreen:

37 hermits, 20 astrea, 28 marg, and 7 cerith to go. After that we should have at least 10 bags more we can ship at the mentioned rate of 55$ (can more than on shrimp go in a bag):silly:

I would just go ahead and order it. I am sure people will grab some extras.........like me!

Steve

Robb, can you switch out the two bumblebees for me (I was informed that they can be predatory and a pain in the butt)

Can you revise me to

4 astrea
4 Nass
2 peppermints
1 skunk cleaner

:D Thanks!

If you order the package and have extras, I'd be willing to take a few more than what I initialy indicated.

I have a spreadsheet of what each person has asked for and the totals for each person, but i cannot figure out how to get it to attach into the board.

Perhaps I could e-mail it to one of you people that is more computper savvy than I so it could be posted?

Robb

I don't know if you can attach a non-picture file. If you have a webpage you can upload it to there and link to it though.

If you don't have your own webpage, email it to me and I'll link to it on mine.

email sent tony

hey can I add 3 red scarlets, 4 astreas and 4 margaritas? thanks :)

Sweet spreadsheet. have we got a response from Oceans on what they can do for us?

OK to answer some of the pm's etc, I live in SW Calgary in Millrise (close to Tony if you know where that is)

I have not heard back from Wendell yet on pricing, but I will not be ordering until after the weekend anyway.

I am aiming at having the order arrive in calgary 1 week from today.

Robb

Sweet, I'm in Shawnessy so it's nice to know you are close :)

I'm the same as ed, if there are extra snails ordered to fill out the order I could take a few extra as well to help out.

I just spoke with the guy from J&L, and apparently the stuff that Tony wanted is not going to be in until about March 10th?

However, they will be getting Abalone, and sea Hares at that time:mrgreen:

So should we wait an extra week? I know there has been some people looking for seahares on the calgary board in the last week or two.

Robb

I can wait.

My tank has gone this long with out a proper reef crew, I guess it can wait an extra week.:biggrin:

well, I think we will be a bit short on orders to cover the 55$ shipping for 20 bags, however we have enough for 10 bags, and that will do assuming that 2 cleaner shrimp can go into one bag. If we would like to order extra things like fish, or perhaps frags we would need to cover another $10 for shipping so I guess a $1 per bag fee would be in order.

I am personally considering a flame angel for my self:mrgreen: they are almost half of the LFS price.:shocked!:

Robb

An extra week is fine for me too.

Pretty sure they will ship the shrimps in seperate bags.
