Opinions please

[2ndThief]

I'm trying to be cost effective but also wanting to buy top grade zoas. I already have my heart set on this guy I'm getting one polyp (45$):

now the question comes to which of these other ones to get-

great price on those (fire and ice?)

I really like the color on those ^

great price ^

I'm kind've partial to these but they are a little pricey^

Now I understand that it is obviously my decision and what I want but I also want a lot of diversity, I was curious as to if you were in my position which would you pick and why, I would love to get several opinions, thank you so much

I like the 4th one. The color is really bright. Bright the better for me.

 

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

very nice indeed...

 

[2ndThief]

the three I'm strongly concidering are the fire and ice, the pink with yellow mouths, and the very last ones (the one's after AOG) and those are going from best price to most pricey.

buy them all. lol grow them out and then sell frags.

'My name is Tim, and I haven't bought a zoo in six days...'

Get the fire and ice no matter what. Buy one other one, cut two polyps off, cut the rest in half, and sell both those halves for half the price you paid for the whole. Repeat until you own everything.

ahaha fantastic plan my friend, that would be delightful wouldn't it?

A few of those pics look like they were taken with a lot of blue spectrum bulbs.

Those are all pics off of reefkingdom, aren't they? I was looking into those myself, but have become a little wary after reading the reviews of their products in the vendor experiences section. Sounds like more than one person has been burned by that site!

 

[2ndThief]

I have looked into that and have been in contact with the people at reefkingdom and they have been more than nice in assisting me and even telling me what coral they would buy if they were me (which were not their most expensive) and they told me what to expect under my lights and that kind've thing, so I am willing to take a risk with them and see how they hold up.

I have always been told that if it looks or sounds too good to be true than it probably is.

 

[drjuice28]

Well thief, if you think that they sounded honest on the phone, I'd give it a try and see what comes your way. If they can guarantee that the specimens look exactly like those pics, it's worth a shot! Let me know how things turn out, I'll be right on your heels with an order to them if you do well for yourself!

 

[2ndThief]

well I ordered the mohawk, fire and ice, AOG, and the second pink ones I listed, they'll be shipped not this monday but next monday and then we'll see how they look, thanks everyone for looking and for input

 

[drjuice28]

Sounds like some good stuff, try to get some pics up here as soon as they arrive! I'd love to see them!

 

[2ndThief]

while it might be a day til the open I'll post pics as soon as they do

Pic #5....... What are the star "flower" looking polyup?

I think 3 & 4 are the best looking ones IMO.

Well I ordered four types of palys from reef kingdom last week and we understood they would not be able to ship until today and I e-mailed them this morning this message:

Hey Brandon, this is Perry,
I was curious as to if the palys would be delivered to my doorstep or
not, thank you for your help and looking forward to tomorrow with much
anticipation

-also how long, if any, was given for coral healing? Thanks again

-perry


and received this in my inbox this afternoon:

Perry,

Thanks for your inquiry. I spoke with Jared and at this time we have decided that we will not be shipping your order. I went ahead and refunded the entire order amount back to your card. Unfortunately, in our experience with similar customers who have similar questions and multiple concerns even before an order is processed, we have ended up investing so much time and effort trying to please them, that in the end we have just refunded their purchase anyway. Due to these circumstances we have come to this conclusion. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. For your online coral needs we recommend the following websites:

I'm quite curious as to why this is but I will leave this open until I get a response. I'm not mad, I'm just intrigued.

Has anyone had good experience with these guys??? I've come close to ordering some stuff from them too... But got a bit aprehensive after reading some feedback on here...

 

[InvaderJim]

oh man. Those first ones are unbelievable. If you manage to get ahold of them you should frag me one.

 

[jessp]
