Thanks Chin for setting all this up. That's totally awesome. My seahorses will be so happy with a field of red to latch onto.

BTW, I can hold some macro for those who can't pick up on time. I have a 25g with just LR & a 20g refugium & 50g sump that I can store extra macro in.

From past experience with red macro, this stuff sucks up iodine from your water like crazy. If you iodine levels are low, it will turn pale, then green & then fall apart completely. It also does not stand up to shipping very well & so it is highly advisable that the fastest mode of shipping be chosen or you'll likely end up with a bag of mush. Chin, if you don't have the time, send me the transhipping info & I'll hold the extra macro in my tanks under some full spectrum lighting & then ship it out the following Monday, since I work from home & the post office is just down the street from me.

Again, thanks Chin for setting up this & thanks NIH National Resource for Aplysia for this very generous donation.

Anthony

Thanks Chin for not giving up on group buy's! It looks like this one is going to pay off big for everyone involved. (Much thanks to the NIH National Resource for Aplysia)

I'm also happy that you will indeed 'reship' this algae to us that are not in the Vancouver area. I'm more than willing to pay for all costs involved. I'll be in touch through PM's.

Quote:
Hi there: due to harvest schedule, we are going to have the 30 pounds of gracilaria for you guys on August 8. I just found out that our last big harvest of the gracilaria was two days ago so we will be short until our next harvest date of August 7. We will ship on Tuesday, August 8 and you will receive it on august 9. I hope this doesn’t cause you any problems with your members. Please advise.
So of course I replied that its alright
The information post has been amended accordingly.
