Canada Corals Group Buy (Edmonton and area)
 

Hey there local canreefers!

I've checked out canreef's new sponsor (Canada Corals), and they've got some pretty nice stuff!

http://www.canadacorals.com/collections/livestock

In order to get free shipping we need a group buy of $400.
I'm willing to arrange for pick-up for the items you would like! Simply pm me your username, email and list of items (and prices) of the livestock you would like and once we reach the $400 mark, I will place a notice the order is closing and notify all involved of the pick-up time and date! (once everyone has paid of course).

Any questions feel free to pm or post me anytime! :mrgreen:


Cheers,


Steve (somewherebeyondthesea)

Well that sure didn't take long

Ill be in on this

I'm in :)

Orders are looking good! :biggrin: keep 'em coming!

Looks like we are a little over half way there! Any more interest please pm me ASAP. We wouldn't want our provincial neighbors taking all the good stuff now would we.:twised:

Let me know if there is anything I can do to make this group-buy go as smooth as possible. :biggrin:

We are at the $300 mark! Get your orders in as you dont want to miss out! Once we reach $400 the Group Buy will close!

Ok! Looks like we have reached our $400 mark!

Since I know there are some procrastinators that are sitting on the fence (you know who you are) I'm going to extend the cutoff date to be on Jan.22nd, 2013

After Canada Corals has collected the purchase orders I will setup a pick up date for our awesome frags!

Cut off date is tomorrow!:biggrin:

I created a custom coupon code named "grouporder" so that shipping is 100% free to Steve's address.

That makes it simple to take separate payments from each person. :)

Pmed

Great order so far. :)

Order will be shipping Thursday for Friday delivery.

Turns out Steve is not able to accept Friday delivery. Stay tuned! :mrgreen:

Order has been closed!

Pick-up will be Saturday! Keep a watchful eye on this thread for when they arrive!

I anticipate they will arrive between 8:30am and 4:00pm.

Once I grab these guys from the airport I will notify you on this thread!


Nice choices! You all have good taste in coral!



Cheers,




Steve

Excellent order guys! We really appreciate the business. :)

Here is a WYSIWYG picture of your group order:

Damn, that pic is making me look forward to them even more!!

Any idea what kind of heads up we will get on Saturday? Im coming up from camrose and want to stop by red coral on the trip =)

Pm me your cell # I can text you once I have them :-)

And then you can call me when you frag your frag :lol:

The corals have landed!

I'm on my way to pick them up!

well, ive had the bags floating for about an hour now and i can see some polyp extension on the montipora digi and birdsnest. not going to lie, i didnt have my hopes up when they arrived so cold, but everything looks ok. we'll just have to see what happens when they hit my water, i dont have a good track record with sps.

Frags are in tank and the colour awesome very nice looking frags, nice size.
they came in very cold under 70 F time will tell

Glen:lol:

Corals came very well packed and labelled. The WYSIWYG posting from the supplier is a great comfort to know everything is ok at their end before shipping. I acclimated them over a 2.5 hour period and made sure my new Evergrow IT2040 LED fixture was keeping it's 30% (all channels) setting. I was going to give them a dip of Coral Rx but, as mentioned previously, they arrived very cold and I didn't want to stress them any more than necessary. Rather than placing them in my main display, I decided to play it safe and put them in my cube that was set up a few months ago. They're already getting some polyp extension and don't seem to be as angry as other SPS that I've had shipped. Now, like everything else in this hobby, we wait.

this is my first try using revive, and im giving all 5 frags i got today a bath in it so hopefully it helps. theres already a couple dead creepy crawlies in the pail so hopefully if theres anything bad on the frags it wont make it.

Here are a couple of pics of the order from Canada Corals...

Have to figure out how to attach pic

Good practice to dip no matter what the coral comes in like. Even if I bring stressed coral from overseas I always dip them. IF they don't survive then it wasn't meant to be.

I'd rather a few dead coral then a tank full of dead ones.

When I get frags I also take them off the original plugs and put them on my own plugs. You never know what kind of eggs may be lurking on the plug that Revive/Coral Rx doesn't kill

you have to upload them to a service like photobucket then link the url from there. PM me if you need a hand

Here's what I ordered, sorry for the blurry pic, iPad doesn't take very good ones.

I would start another thread for pics if you want, perhaps the picture forum, instead of the buy/sell.

Heres the pics of mine. second day and the polyps are still extended on the digi and the birdsnest. i was happy to see the zoas open up right away and stay open as well. now if i could just figure out how to get my new toadstool to do the same =/. my pics were taken with a crappy digital camera, so theyre blurred as well.

Just checking to see how everyones frags are doing .I lost my yellow acro and one other is not looking good.

Thanks
Glen

Hey Glen.
Lights over the cube just came on. Looks like I've lost my superman monti. The tissue is brown and slowly sloughing off exposing white skeleton. My pink acropora mille is looking the best of the 5 with good polyp extension. The rainbow monti is doing ok as is the red monti cap and purple rim green monti cap. I'm kinda bummed about the superman m. I don't know how bad the toxins are from a single frag losing tissue. Perhaps I should consider running carbon.

My green birdsnest MIGHT be bleaching near the frag plug but the tips still have good color and good polyp extension. The hot pink zoas are still hot pink but the tentacles might have lost a bit of color. It could be the lighting tho. And the forest fire digi is doing really good as far as I can tell. I'm no sps expert tho.
