Update on group order

[Delphinus]

I have talked to Jayson and it appears he has everything for the order except the fighting conches, they did not come in this week as was expected.

I would be much happier if everyone could get what they want from this order, I don't want to see anyone miss out on something. So I propose we see if Jayson can get them in for next week. (I kind of have ulterior motives for suggesting this ... I could use a little more time working on my tank too. For some reason, I haven't been able to work on my tank this week AT ALL.)

Alan and Bob, are you guys OK to wait a few more days? Bob I know you've been waiting for a long time for these snails and I apologize for keeping you waiting .... I will try to make it up to you somehow.

Tony:
Another week isn't going to put me out. Bob said he was going to be offline for a bit - have you called him?

I'm OK to pick the stuff up from the airport. Actually since I'm the one coordinating this maybe it's better that I be the one to pick it up anyways.

But at any rate I will be sure to ensure delivery comes at a time that is convenient for everyone. I don't want a mad scramble for anyone or to make anyone have to juggle this or that.

Since Sean & I live reasonably close and since Alan & Bob live reasonably close, maybe what makes sense is I pick up the box, drive over to either Alan's or Bob's place; and then make the trek southward from there with Sean's and my stuff.

The one thing that has me maybe a bit stressed out ... There is, of course, the possibility that there will be no conches available next week too. I don't want Sean to miss out but I guess if conches aren't available they aren't available. (Sorry Sean! :( ) But I want to give this a fair shake in the meantime...

Alan, an equally fair question for you would be "Have you ever had crabs in your moustache?" With that out of the way; Yes, crabs would be no problem to catch from my refugium, especially if some folks eventually pick some Caulerpa up. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

AI-YI-YI :eek:

I have waited forever now, so a few days more is no problem. I will, however, be on afternoon shift next week, so I will not be able to pick up at the airport in the afternoon. It would have to be well before noon.

well, i appreciated all the effor that has gone into me getting some conches! as it is, you guys dont need to really wait (although it is much appreciated :D ). If they dont come in next week, then by all means go and order, i dont want to hold you guys up and longer, as i am sure there will be other orders. Thanks again.

Sean

PS, the male has another mouthfull, almost 2 weeks now!

Then I would indeed impose upon Bob to hold mine until Saturday morning, or such time as we could arrange a transfer. Not as convenient, no.

(Bob - how do you feel about crabs? And could we catch them again once they were in your refuge?)

AJ

(Just took a look at your refugium photo on the web - looks relatively uncluttered.)

delph -
I e-mailed Jayson about snails (what types available this week); told him I was part of your order for Calgary Reef club.

Will likely change my order slightly, but after I hear from him.

Cheers,
AJ

Sounds good Alan ...

PS. If anyone else (Jon? Kim?) wants to jump in and get a thing or two (coral, snail, sea grass, etc.) -- here's a good chance to save a bit on shipping .. let myself or Jayson at SWC know about it in the next or two. Looking at shipping I think either Friday or Saturday. I can't do any sooner because it looks like I have to go on the road again after today for a day or two :(
