Group buy for MTRC Meeting at Emerald Bay

[crumbletop]

For the upcoming meeting at Emerald Bay on August 4th, the folks there are allowing us to do a group buy on cleanup crew items. I'll coordinate the group buy for the club. This is something that is open to MTRC members. As a disclosure, I have no financial ties to Emerald Bay and do not stand to profit from this:

The prices below reflect a 5 item minimum order. Tax and shipping are already included in the price. For some of the snails and hermits the price can drop if we order a bunch. Also, the folks at Emerald Bay should be able to have all of our order in for the meeting, but in case some things are not available for some reason, they will notify us when those items come in and still honor the price. If you are a club member and want to order, please post to this thread.

Peppermint Shrimp- 5.00
Emerald Crabs-4.50
Sally Lightfoot Crabs-5.00
Blue-legged Hermits-.60

I'm assuming we'll just pay at the meeting?

I'll take 15 ceriths and 6 turbos.

Thanks

I found out Emerald Bay is also offering a group buy on I.O. salt for the reef club meeting @ 38.00/ 200 gal. box

 

[crumbletop]

Yes, I forgot to post that. I think there is a 10 box minimum order.

 

[Pickupman66]

I will take a Lettuce Nudi and 10 Tricolor hermits.

 

[DMBillies]

Put me down for a box of salt also. If we are close to not getting the minimum order I would consider getting a second, just let me know if that's the case.

 

[Kalied20]

put me down for a box of salt. I will be working that night, but if I can send someone the money or pick it up later at Ebay?

Two questions:

"Lettuce nudibranch" -- I don't seem to have much algae, other than enough to need to clean the glass once or twice weekly. What might be the odds for survival of a "lettuce nudibranch". It seems there are 3 types of this sea slug and warnings that many starve.

Tiger cucumber -- I would like something to keep my surface sand whiter. (I have a small fuse gobie which cleans its own little area and does not disturb the rockwork.) Shimek's "Marine Invertebrates" says the tiger tail sea cucumber "may release the toxin holothurin if bothered by hermit crabs, which should be removed." I have scarlet and also blue-legged hermits which do a good job on the rockwork. Should I avoid the cucumber?
