Group Order(again!)

spikehs · #1 03-13-2002, 09:52 PM

Hey all,

I have hopefully, scrounged up some funds to pour into the tank (a generous loan by the 'rents), and was thinking of order some various snails/etc. to help clean up my tank a bit, I am not totally sure where i am going to order from yet. Presently i wanted to give www.aquariumpros.ca a try, but they are still getting back to me on prices/availablity of some kinds of snails. If they are expenseive/poor stock, i was going to go with www.jlaquatics.com as they are having a sale on this kind of stuff. So if anyone wants in on the order, to split shipping costs, thats what i'll be doing. AquariumPros, supposedly has a nice selection of aquacultured corals, of decent size, if you are interested. As for when this will go through i am not totaly sure, maybe 1-2weeks, as i am going to wait untill someone can find some fighting conches for me to get (they seem a little rare these days).

For my sandbed I would like to get some Nassarius, or Margarita, or Cerith snails. Also Microstars are supposed to be good. If you can get those anywhere I am in.

I'm in for DT's, if you're placing the order soon.

I would like at least four of the Margarita, and Nassarius, and Cerith snails. I dont't know how big the conches get.

the fighting conches get to about 4-5inches max (i think)... the recommendation for open sand space is 1 per 1cubic foot of open sand (again, i think this is what it is)

I think I will stick with the snails, maybe they will breed in my refugium where ther is nothing to bother them.

hopefully, i will be placing the order sometime this week, i have been talking to andrew a lot and he says there should be enough room for what ever you guys want to get. this is what i am getting so far (more than likely anyway):

x4 Fighting Conches (4x$9.00) = $36.00
x10 Cerith Snails (10x$1.49) = $14.90
x10 Nassarius Snails (10x$1.99) = $19.90
x10 Margarita Snails (10x$1.49) = $14.90
x5 Trocus Snails (5x$5.50) = $27.50

not to sure about the trocus though, they are prety expensive and i could get 3snails instead of 1 trocus...But they can get fighting conches so if you guys want to keep a clean sand bed, i heard these guys work wonders.

So is anything happening with this order?

hey,

sorry for the lack of reply, but i have been VERY busy at the college for the last couple of days (a couple of days from 11am-4am!) so i am just getting myself reorganized. I am hoping for sometime next week. I'll try to get my butt better organized on the long weekend
