FraggleReef Group Order (Thanks to John)

[gsusfreak]

i doubt that they'll be an ugly one in the bunch......so if it makes anyone feel better....i'll take the very last one

 

[NeveSSL]

No worries, guys... we'll all be getting our moneys worth, even if its not the best of the batch.

I am planning on doing the order tonight if all falls into place. Extra! Extra! Get your orders in!

[gsusfreak]

sweet....so we'll have it friday?

 

[mikemartinez]

Put me down for another one... So that will make it 2

 

[NeveSSL]

Hopefully...

I'm still slightly undecided as my truck is messed up... but I'm pretty sure its just my fuel filter. Either that, or the pump... the pump would be extremely uncool.

I should be able to meet everyone on Friday, though. I'll update you if anything changes.

Brandon, if you need any help with picking things up (aka your truck is not functional) let me know. I'm free all day so I could pick it up if needed.

So what if we all are there right when Brandon shows up with the box - how do we decide who gets the "coolest" clam then? Rocks, Paper, Scissors?

Somebody is inevitably going to get their panties in a wad because they get a clam they're not in love with, or JimBobJoe took the clam they wanted... This is the nature of the beast when you order sight unseen and everyone is buying the same thing. I think the key thing is that everyone pick up their order as soon as possible so things aren't sitting in the bags longer than necessary.

Can't we all just get along? (Cue cheesy music...)

Coolest clam would be undecided since they're still in the box. Without seeing them opening up. We have NO idea what each one looks like. No paper rock scissors needed, just each one go pick one out of the box, just grab one, once you grab it, it's yours, no looking or searching. I think that's quite fair. That's just my thought of it. Being in management, I personally know that you can't please everyone, but at least you can be fair about it. To me, it sounds quite fair the way I put it. So afterwards, there should be no whining about it period, if so, tough!
I still want a Clam though! You did put me down for one right?

 

[NeveSSL]

Here's what I have so far:

Clams:

NeveSSL
gsusfreak
fallinapart
mamagoose45
mikemartinez x2
mikeyjer

Other:

luckyfish
1 platygyra colony $29.99
1 blue center with green mouth blastomussa

mamagoose45
Neon Green Cyphastrea $9.99

NeveSSL
Nano Pump $4.99

ocd_mariner
PPE Platygyra
Red and Green Favia

To be honest, I'm not worried about everyone getting there at the same time to pick their clams, etc. Get what you get when you get here. I'll probably grab one out of the box and start acclimating when they arrive. But I do have to admit, if I somehow see a lot of blue... I'm grabbing it!

I very seriously doubt I will see anything, though.

[gsusfreak]

thats a pretty good idea mike....it'll be just like we order it individually, a simple honest "random" way of selecting it....but the problem lies from different pickup times....i would hope that my bag would be floatin in his tank until i pickup...and being in the tank will make it visible (honestly, they might now even open up til later on in the day).........and i honestly dont think anyone will be complete disgrunted with their clam....somethings are pretty in one person's eyes maybe the ugliest thing another.....brandon, however you decide to let this work, just make sure that mine is alive ...LOL

 

[NeveSSL]

Brian/Moriah:

They be out of the Neon Green Cyphastrea. Or at least its not on their site any more. Sorry!

Brandon

 

[NeveSSL]

Will do, John. I'll do my best, anyway.

We can always trade if need be, too... everyone just post a pic here after they get their clams.

Brandon

 

[NeveSSL]

Ok, everyone. I know its late, but there have been a lot of changes on their website.

The clams are good (they're showing 12), but a lot of the corals are gone. If you all could let me know ASAP if you would like something else, that would be GREAT.

Thanks!

Brandon

 

[mamagoose45]

put us down for the

Bright Blue Alien Eye Echinophyllia
$19.99
(farmed frags, LPS)

and our one clam that you already have listed...

 

[Mikeyjer]

The only thing I'm worried about is the pickup time. I do have to work all day Friday. That's the reason why I mentioned about the pickup time. IF it's early in the morning, I can swing it and I do mean early since I have to be at work in Franklin at 10am, but I do need some time to acclimate the clam before I head to work. Let me know the pickup time, thanks!

 

[NeveSSL]

Gotcha, Moriah.

I doubt it will be that early, Michael. I can float it if you'd like. I'll ask them, too.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow to order... and I'll probably call it in to make sure everything can go the way I'm hoping.

If I have to pickup later, it will be after 11pm before I get there since I don't get off work until 10pm or so on Friday nights. I just hope it would be ok being in the bag that long......

 

[dzones]

just to throw in my 2 cents guys..

I have ordered a few times from Miguel over at fragglereef and he does have some really nice clams. I bought 4 last week of the 19.99 ones and they all looked really nice. they were all about 3" and a week later doing great. All my other coral pieces from him are doing well also.

you will be happy with yours I am sure

[fallinapart]

Brandon, if you need transportation to nashville Friday for delivery to AC. and don't trust your truck, call me and I will be your dirver for that trip. Just let me know
