Anyone interested in a snail/crab group buy?

Sure, anyone interested in coming on by after the meeting is invited to do so (about 1/2 hour or so drive from Manteca). I hope everyone by then has picked up their inverts by Friday night, though.

PS Big Red in Fresno is having an open-house to show off his new tank (380gallons?) this Sunday.

Scott,

I will be returning from Tahoe on Friday and wondered if I could pick up my order and Melodycorals order Friday evening around 6-7 PM?

Minh: Did you want me to pick up your order as well? If so, I am meeting Melodycorals at 12:30 PM Saturday in Elk Grove. I won't be available after that so let me know as soon as possbile.

Bill,

Friday evening around 6-7PM sounds fine.

PS Just curious, how are you going to deliver to MelodyCorals on Saturday? Keep inverts in bag for another 12 hours or acclimate them to your tank water?

Scott
 
Scott,

I'll see you then.

I asked Melodycorals if he wanted me to acclimate them in my tank or leave them in the original bags but haven't heard back. I let him know that if they sit in the bag, he might have some that won't survive. So for now, they're sitting in the original bags until the following morning.

Bill
 
If all goes well I should have them by late Friday morning, so anytime there after.

Bill - I've been told that snails/hermit crabs can survive in a bag for 2 days provided they are not subjected to temperature extremes; but, I wouldn't want to push it. Shrimp and brittle stars are totally different and should be acclimated as soon as possible, but slowly (drip method).

Scott
 
UPDATE: There is a chance that the shipment might be delayed or canceled given a tropical depression that moved into the area. Will update again when I know for sure sometime Thursday morning.

Scott
 
UPDATE: Bad news. Hurrican winds and 6" of rain expected today and tomorrow hence to shipments.

What does the group want to do? Do you want to try the shipment same time next week. e.g. Friday, Sept 2nd?

Let me know...

To reinterate. NO SHIPMENT THIS FRIDAY.

Scott
 
Bummer - I'm out of town starting Thursday through Monday. Next Friday does not work for me, but I dont want to hold everyone else up either. If "Nemo's Dada" can hold for an entire week - then I could do it - but otherwise I would need to bail out or wait.

OK, Let's try for same time next week (Friday, Sept 2nd).

MelodyCorals - Let me know what you want to do. Prolly need to know by next Wed at the latest.
 
Ok, "Nemo's Dada" is now officialy my hero. He has agreed to pick the order up for me, acclimate and hold them until Tuesday when I can pick them up from him.

Thanks all,
Josh
 
Scott,

There is a possibility that I may have to drop out of the group purchase. Unfortunately, this coming weekend, I won't be easily available. I am coordinating with Nemo's Dad to see if he can pick the snails up for me, and to see what time I can pick it up from him. If you don't hear back from me by MOnday night - consider it a cancel. :(

Minh
 
Scott,

Unfortunately, I won't be able to coordinate with Nemo's Dad to pick up the snails and hermit crab. SO at this time, I am going to cancel. I really appreciate you putting together the group purchase. Thanks again.
