Thanks for organizing this, I think its a great initiative. If you need
any help, I'm more than willing to organize something.
As far as group buys for inverts, would you be looking to get them to be available on the day of the meet or order them after the meet? If its for that day, maybe you can get a list of species and prices to start tallying up the numbers.
Can we also looking into group-buy of some red gracilaria algae such as from
http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/groups/se...ug-prices.html I've been interested in obtaining these algae for a long time but its not worth the shipping by myself. I've inquired several times with the university and they will sell it at NIH INVESTIGATORS PRICE if its over 5 lbs at $8/lb but overnight shipping is about 70-80 US.
To trade/sell:
1) I have three Beckett skimmers that I made last year when I first started trying to make them so being the rookie then .... the joints are not the prettiest but they are very strong. They don't have injectors but the box is made of 3/16 black cast acrylic, all have one 1.5" bulkhead drain, one 1" bulkhead for injector, 6" cast 1/4" thick acrylic chamber, 4" cast 1/4" thick acrylic riser, 2 O-rings, thumbnail screws. You would need to build your own injector, plumb a 1.5" ball valve and you are set. They are all the size of a bullet 2. PM me if you want a pic.
2) 30 watt Aquanetic UV sterilizer
3) bunch of mag 2, 3 some 5's
I am really looking forward to this.
