Sweet Bali frags. I'd like to get a few as soon as my system can sustain Acros.

frags
 

Are those from Safari Steve?

Re: frags
 

yup

safari
 

Not a bad selection eh. Glad to see them finally jumping on the hard coral bandwagon. It will be a welcomed addition.

Re: safari
 

you been asleep???? they ARE THE Hard coral bandwagon in Victoria for over a year now, .. no one else is bringing anything in that is worth anything.

Actually, I think Safari is the only store bringing in SPS, period. Hillside stopped over a year ago as she didn't sell them quick enough and the tank they were in wsn't ideal for the corals.

Creatures has some softies and a few LPS's, i was talking to the guy down there (can't remember his name right now) and he said as soon as their metal halides show up they are going to stock SPS's as well. they are matching J&L's prices on everything they have right now, maybe we will see some real compotition here in vic. soon.

I know safari does have a selection of hard corals but not very many acros, or at least not since I've been going there.

The problem is the lack of consumers over here willing to purchase acros. There are still 3 pieces there that came in months ago. One of them would be a really nice purple colony, but still nobody wants to spend the bucks. It then makes it tough to justify ordering a couple of boxes of acros when Steve and I are the only ones buying them. :razz:

Hidden Reef in Abbottsford brought in 90 colonies, and I'm sure Mike will sell them all. Over here, 18 came in, and they could end up sitting there for months.

Perhaps what some people should do is get together and buy a few pieces, and split them up. That way you get more variety without spending a ton of money. If we keep buying them, they will keep bringing them in.
