Still interested in an order from Ocean Aquatics prior to the May long weekend.

Since I am from out of town, I would prefer if a local reefer takes the lead to pick up from the airport and hold the live goods order for distribution. I would be in for a larger order if we get from Ocean Aquatics. They seem to have a great selection and reasonable prices too. Is anyone from Edmonton or Fort Saskatchewan willing to also place an order and do the pick up?

I will have to back out if it is before the long weekwnd I dont want to get a new fish then leave for a week. if we the order after the 27th I will be in.

Does anyone want to have their live goods ordered early next weeek and delivered before the long weekend?

[dennenboom]

My preference would be after June 7th, as I will be back then.

Don't forget too that depending on the livestock supply, that the order might take 1/2 weeks to fill first, before even shipping.

Sorry, but I can't wait that long. Since this is a new tank with much algae and detritus, I require my initial invert clean-up crew much sooner. Ocean Aquatics currently has an excellent selection of inverts other than listed on their web site and at reasonable prices.

Here are some of the species currently on my list:

Blue Leg Hermit (Clibanarius tricolor)
Red Leg Hermit (Paguristes digueti)
Scarlet Reef Hermit (Paguristes cadenati)
Electric Blue Hermit (Calcinus elegans)
Emerald Crab (Mithrax sculptus)
Porcelain Crab (Petrolisthes spp.)
Sally Lightfoot (Percnon gibbesi)
Astrea (Astraea tecta)
Brown & Red Banded Turban (Turbo spp.)
Cerith (Cerithium spp.)
Nassarius (Nassarius vibex)
Trochus (Trochus niloticus)
Tectus (Tectus spp.)
Stomatella (Stomatella spp.)
Tiger Tail Cucumber (Holothuria thomasi)
Chiton (Chiton Ancanthopleura gemmata)
Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata wurdmanni)

Several other species are currently available.

Ocean Aquatics is able to ship via Air Canada Cargo to Edmonton on Monday (May 16), Wednesday (May 18) or Thursday (May 19). If anyone from the Edmonton area is interested in this order, please send me a PM by the morning of Monday (May 16). Otherwise, I will be placing the order for another individual and myself early in the week.

Just a quick reply to let you know that apart from a 1/2 hour flight delay, the livegoods order went off without a hitch. We even found a few extra snails and each received a free Fromia spp. starfish. The order was extremely well packaged with labeled bags and heat packs. We experienced a very low low mortality rate in this shipment. They can get most of anything you want to order too. We will definately be placing additional orders with Ocean Aquatics.

So is anyone else going to be putting in an order ?
I might order some cleaning crew and maybe a fish in the coming week or so.

I'm interested still, is for J&L or for Ocean Aquatic?

If it arrives after the 7th of June it would be great.
