Oregon Tort

[easttn]

Hey all,
I contacted Travis at UpScales (an Oregon Reef Store) about the availability of the original OT and asked about a group order. His response was 6 Oregon Torts are available for our reef club. I'm looking for 5 people to share in the shipping. The frags are $50 each. Logistically it would be best if they were shipped to Knox, and I come and get mine.

I'm guessing about $70 shipping/6 ~ $12
PP Fees ~ $1.25
Frag $50

$64 Total

First five names (from our reef club) on this thread will be reposted and I'll request the $$.

At that time I'll post the arrival date and who has the frags.

Two questions:

Who will accept them?
Who wants in?

I get biggest frag .

I'll bite, have always wanted to ask anyhow; why are the Oregon torts so sought after?

 

[easttn]

There is nothing more blue that I've seen. If your not into torts or blue thingees in your tank it does not matter.

There is an OT thread in the SPS forum right now, the pics are very accurate.

Becker tort is not the same as the Oregon tort. Also, the oregon tort is th slowest growing tort of the bunch, but probably the most spectacular.

There's a pretty good pic here:

I'll gladly pick it up if we can get it delivered to chattanooga.

 

[easttn]

That leaves everyone else out. The store will ship them all to one addy. You and I have a drive I'm afraid.

 

[bkv1997]

HEHE no seriously would someone in knoxville mind holding my piece till i could get there after work probably 6:30 or 7.

Or we can have it delivered to my work and I'll leave at 4 and I'll bring it to knoxville. Watever you guys want to do, I'll help anyways possible.

Just let me know.

 

[easttn]

We are done!

I'll keep the post alive requesting payment, so far no one has paid - including me.

 

[bkv1997]

PM me your pay pal account and the total and it will be there ASAP.
