Next Meeting Group Snail Buy

QC folks how do you want to do this? If anyone is off on Tuesday? Maybe we could compensate them for gas and they could make a run to Iowa City. If not I'm finished with work at 3:30, so I could make the pickup then, it should take less than an hour to drive to Iowa City.
 
I would be willing to make the runs to W-Loo and D-Port on Tuesday if I need to. My car runs on either frags or gas. softies, LPS mainly :)

DM, does it work for one of you to meet me on the 13th? Or should Thill bring them up over the weekend? I can meet either before or after the show, after the show I would have more time.


anyone else want to get in on the group buy? there is still time to get your order and money in!

I can save us shipping as i will be driving to Charlotte next week for vacation. I could hit the QC crew on the way home with theirs and still take the ones to DM on thursday the 13th

Not sure if that's where he's at but I would guess he's on vacation.

All inverts are acclimated to 1.025 @ 78F.
We pack and ship bulk inverts dry, snails and hermits. Before you receive
your shipment have a container ready with "old" salt water (this can be out
of your current system) that is adjusted to 1.025 @ 78F and well aerated.
That is a measure of specific gravity and the measurement is temperature
dependent.

Float the bags in this water for aprox 15-20 min to adjust for temperature,
then just open the bags, rinse in aged water, dispose of the rinse water,
and release the inverts into the container. Please do not drip acclimate dry
packed inverts.

Proceed with any other acclimation after that if your system is of a
different specific gravity and temperature.

Most people run their invertebrate systems at 1.025/78F. If your system is
already within that range, you just need to float for temp, give them a
quick rinse, dispose of the rinse water, and immediately release.

Thank you

Snails are ordered and paid for. they will be here on tuesday. once they arrive i will make a quick post. Please be sure to read the instructions above. Keys sent it to me atleast three times so it must be important.

Enjoy yours guys weekend, I will try to check back on here once in a while. I am in Charlotte at AutoFair so I dont know how much time i will have, undrunk, and by a PC.
 
I've heard of people drip acclimating them and losing their whole order so it must be important.
 
So when you count them out are you going to rinse them and put them in water? Or how are you planning on doing it?

Also if you would send me a message back about what I PM'd you about I would appreciate it.
