anyone want to get in on an order at atlantis aquarium?

Anyone interested in an order at www.atlantisaquarium.net ?

Their prices can bit a little on the $$$ side, but the corals they sell are SERIOUSLY cherry-picked.

I am interested in a few SPS pieces, possibly close to 300 worth. With another buyer or 2, we could work towards a 10% discount or free shipping. Shipping has otherwise been $60-$65, and we would split the shipping amount based on the dollar amount ordered.

If I place the order it will be shipped out tomorrow and arrive Sat morning. I will pick the order up at Fed Ex near Milw airport myself. Other buyers either meet me at Fed Ex or at my place in Racine later on.

I'll decide by the end of the day Thurs whether or not to go through with this order based on whether there is much interest. For now I'm just gauging any interest.

Don't need livestock right now, but if it helps you get to free shipping, I'll take some Flatworm Exit for $20.

My weekend is packed, but I can pick up most days next week.

Oh Oh,
Does Jeremy have worms?

 

[cschwaj]

My kids, actually. I really should bathe them more frequently.

Since FWE comes in an eyedrop bottle, I figured I could give it to them that way.

 

[prugs]

Much cheaper than the kind I get from the VET, good idea.

sorry john normally i would be in on this however i seriously dont think i could put another coral in my frag tankand my 300 is pretty much completely full

 

[johns]

i'm holding off until at least the middle of next week for this. so if anyone happens to find anything interesting they want, let me know.

they do have a lot of nice stuff, but I think I might find what i want at the coral conference in a couple weeks .

Did you order yet? I am interested... sorry I didnt see this thread sooner.

Id take:
Aqua Tenuis AC SPS-421 3"-$80
ORA Chips Acro Frag SPS-119 1.3"-$60
Aqua Tenuis AC SPS 304 3.5"-$100

SPS 4 acro suharsonoi (purple looking) is a freebie with 3 acros over $80 Do you think mine average out or what? Lol. I would actually be interested in that purple suhar otherwise.

The catch is: I would rather wait until the end of the month for pickup though... since the new tank is breaking in. If this is a major problem (or if its too late), I understand, and will simply wait until next time. But as of right now, Im getting a brown algae outbreak and things are a little unsettled so I wouldnt want to put delicate new colonies in.

Hey john, do you know of anyone with some good looking granulosa? Im looking for the green/blue/aqua colored stuff with the bright purple/red tips... very thick branches and polyps. Im also looking for a golden w/ red polyps acro that they used to sell. Just looking around...

hahn-
I have to wait a bit at this point to do an order. Dont want to order next week, and then I'll be gone for a bit after that. I think realistically it will be the beginning of August before I start thinking about it again, depending on what they have at the time.

Unfortunately with the stuff at their site, there is very little chance that most AC pieces in the SPS section will still be there after a couple weeks. But there is usually something else really nice that takes it's place. So if you are dead set on it, I'd go ahead and order. I cant guarantee I'll find things I'm looking for next month, but we'll see.

I have a couple pieces in my tank I have been thinking might be granulosa, but I dont have a 100% ID on it. Sometimes I have see nice ones coming in at some local shops. I think they had some at Sea Schorr last month, and I have seen them at ShoTank and at Rod's Reef in DeKalb. Or keep you eye on the Atlantis site. They actually have another one of those free with 3 acros over $80 that's a green Granulosa with purplish tips. (SPS1)

No problem john. Ill wait for when you are ready... closer to August works better for me anyways. I was actually quite shocked at the lack of selection... I was just ordering for the sake of ordering, these things dont happen too often. Something tells me that the ORA chips acro wont be hard to find (think I saw a bunch at F&S actually)... so waiting actually works better for me.
