CuC from Reefscavengers.com order up

Invoice has been sent. The only items out of stock are the 2 orange tunicates and 4 orange turbo snails, they were not included in the invoice.

Let me know if you have any problems or concerns. Please be sure your paypal shipping address is correct, and confirm with me that you would like the order to be shipped out tomorrow for Tuesday delivery.
Thanks!

Dang, I was lookin forward to those orange turbos :)

Oh well, I just saw some at Pets Inc today anyway :)

Really for an order that size, only have those 2 items be out is pretty impressive.

Jonathan,

In the wild most snails and hermits live in the intertidal zone and get completely out of the water onto the rocks during low tide; this is one reason they are shipped with no water. The other is that usually snails and hermits are packed in dense numbers, therefore if held in a bag with a small amount of water the waste from the animals would cause high levels of ammonia resulting in deaths. Due to their intertidal nature, the problem solves itself :) The only exceptions to this rule are scarlet hermits and some conch snails. All wholesale/retail suppliers ship this way and have been doing so for years; it is a proven method. I will be getting the invoice together shortly.

So my only question would be...what's the proper acclimation procedure for stuff shipped like that?

Actually...what's the best way to acclimate all this stuff? I mean, that's a lot of livestock I'll be adding at once. Think I can get away with just throwing everything in a tub (mixing the water from the bags) and then just drip, or what?

Jonathan,

Yes, it is a good idea to remove the critters from the bags and put them
in holding containers with fresh saltwater. The best way to do this
would
be to float the bag in the new water container for 10-15 minutes to
match
temps, then double the water volume in the bag with the fresh saltwater
for a quick acclimation, let that sit for another 10-15 minutes then
remove the animal from the bag and place him in the new saltwater. The
snails and hermits will be shipped in no water so they will be just fine
as long as they are inside out from the cold. Most everything will be
just
fine until 7pm in the bags and floating them in your tank would be ideal
to get the temp right. As long as it wont be past 7pm and nothing looks
too stressed in the bags there wont be any need to open them and put
them
in new water. Ill look over the final list for errors now, then send an
invoice to your paypal. What is your paypal addy?

Thanks!


(ask and you recieve)

I have all phone numbers now thanks Guys
 
According to the tracker it has left the airport and heading my way at 6:47am. So it should be here soon !!!!!! I'll place the calls to ya'll when it does
 
NP man I'm happy to help out my fellow Reek Geeks and for those that come early you can see my humble tank :worried: that is if you even want to :thumbsup:
 
JMC - I will have the triplets so probably better not come inside this time.... The retirement community might ban you from ever doing anything like this again :D . If you can have it ready for me it would be awesome. I would love to come over sometime and check out the tank though.
 
No No you guys are coming to my house not the club house mama said it was ok

I plan on having everyones order ready to roll when you get here. So that no ones has to come in unless you want to. 12:30 and still nothing. :sad1:

The FedEx guy needs to get off his lunch break already :)

At least it's not like eleventymillion degrees outside right now :)
 
OK I just got off the phone with the post office and I was informed that they deliver over nights for 10am 12 noon or if your really lucky you get the 3pm delivery ....... I gave him the number and it left the post office already. So I'm assuming it's coming on the truck with the normal mail.......Sorry guys :furious:

JasonH the FedEx guy came and left at 11am on the nose this morning. This is coming via USPS even still I would have figured they had special trucks to deliver live animals in the morning if it was 110 outside I'd be having a cow by now

Edit: just as I posted this the UPS guy rolled by .....lmao so that leaves DHL and USPS and everyone will have visited me today
 
Man I feel like a little kid. I just want to keep posting:

Is it there yet?

Nope and I just called and ripped the post office a new one. I live 3 wiles away from he post office it has been their since 9:30am why in the hell does it take 7 hours to deliver me my live stock.........If I had known this I would have gone and got it myself this morning and been done with it. But the shmuck has it on his delivery truck so nothing I can do about it now.
