Finally back at it.....
 
I am back and available! Unexpected travel sucks! :wink: I will do my best to get all of your emails answered...... I will also update the website when I finally get a chance. This is a bad time of year for the Coral business as I am so BUSY!

:mrgreen:

How am I supposed to keep track of the ORA corals I want to order when you deleted all the threads and took them off your website? Are you going to re-list them now that you are back?

I don't have time, the need, or the want to put up with all of the crap that comes along with offering these pieces for sale any longer. I cannot get all of the information on these pieces from my supplier so I will no longer be ordering these pieces from them. Someone else can order them in if they want to deal with all of the headaches.

Wholesalers don't provide competitive documentation to their customers, if I can't prove anything for those that are asking then I don't want to deal with it.

If I actually did this to make a living and not just because I like the hobby maybe I would try a little harder but until then consider yourself lucky for getting any of the frags.

Wow, were that many people really interested in the documentation? Perhaps its just my opinion but it seems like complete non sense to try and provide something like this. Ian I'm sure there's tones of people on here that would love for you to continue getting some of the rarer and nicer looking frags available on the market. Either way, glad to see your back in action!

I didn't get any ORA frags. :( Are you still going to be selling them privately to those who don't care about documentation? I mean, you didn't just toss them out did you?! :eek: If that's the case, toss them out into my tank, ok? :p

Actually, you would be surprised. Not one customer asked for documentation, the only people that asked were a couple *Edited* people out east, one of whom was a vendor and the other being a friend of the vendor, nothing like a little tag team action hey? :lol:

Funny how jealousy works! I only hope these "people" know just how stupid they looked and just how many customers they lost in the process. None of this is any sweat off my back anyway, I may look into ordering more pieces in the future but until I can find a way to acquire documentation from my suppliers I am going to put it on the back burner.

I will keep everyone up to date as to what is available, I am still very busy with my full time job so it may be a couple weeks.

No unfortunately not....... I won't be ordering these any longer. I don't have time for accusations and or anyone questioning the validity of anything that I sell to the extreme of starting long drawn out heated posts about the subject . I don't want to get involved in or be the focus of any whistle blowing when I have no answers to the questions that are being asked...... I will stick to the rare locally aqua cultured items and other pieces that are special enough for Oceanic to sell!

Dont worry, everyone who read that thread could read between the lines and knew what was really going on. It was nice to have those rare corals available, I hope that you'll find a way to make these still available, if people care about documentation, they can go down to the states and pick up these corals themselves.

I really do appreciate the support from everyone, I don't need to do this as it certainly does not pay my bills; however, I do this because I love the hobby and the people involved. I kept to myself during this whole fiasco and will never involve myself in childish posts.
