Sealifeinc Order

[Piazzon12]

http://sealifeinc.net/catalog/index.php
I would be willing to put together an order since there seemed to be alot of interest.
If anyone would be willing to have it delievered to their home or office (and someone would be able to bring it inside) that would be cool. Otherwise it may sit on my porch for half a day (which shouldn't be a big deal... but isnt preferred)
hope to get it in so it can be shipped next monday or tues.

Adam, we could it have it delivered to my office. My secretaries are well trained! We've only received about 1000 live deliveries. I'll pm you soon with what I need for myself and the zoo. The prices on their octocorals are terrific. I want some for my own displays as well. I just need to find out what Tim can line up since he is checking his suppliers for photosynthetic gorgonians.

When is this order going in? I would like a purple gorg, I think.

 

[daveverdo]

I might be interested in one of the blue ricordia (not sure which one) and a purple gorg. Anyone know what is involved in keeping that type of gorg?

Can the octocorals survive/thrive under Atinics?

 

[drbronx]

These are photosynthetic gorgonians. it means that they are from shallow tropical waters and thus require moderate to high light but have minimal nutritional demands and don't require targeted feeding. They benefit from fair flow to reduce algae formation along the stalks.
Adam, you can put me down for each of the gorgs: 1 purple feather 13.50, 1 purple plume 13.50, 1 orange spiny sea rod 13.50 1 yellow sea whip 12.00

 

[frankandmaura]

I think I'll take the purple feather (since it says it is normally from deeper water)...I think VHO's can handle it...anyone think I am wrong?

 

[Szwalla]

Poor Mike. I don't want to hook up the MHs anymore.

 

[larrybird]

I would be interested in 1 Purple Plume ($13.50)and 1 Yellow Sea Whip($12.00). If Jerry doesnt mind holding onto it till I can pick it up or till my Meet next month.

 

[drbronx]

I don't really have room in my tanks Larrybird. my displays are ridiculously crowded. The ones I'm ordering are primarily for the zoo. These are semi toxic and can't touch other corals. Does anyone else have room to hold these for a while?

 

[daveverdo]

Would my 4 x 54W T5HO be enough light for the gorgs? It is over a 90g 24" deep tank with about 2" of sand.

I just have to think about what gas will cost me to drive over and pick them up. With the price of gas it may be cheaper to get my own order shipped here

Does anyone know when this order is being placed? It may make a difference for me time wise.

Dave

 

[Piazzon12]

I will place the order Sun and it should ship monday or tuesday for a tuesday or wednesday delivery.

 

[larrybird]

Forget my stuff.... I will just place the order myself ... Thanks anyways

 

[drbronx]

Adam: please add a nano red tree sponge to my order (for the seahorse tank).

 

[Piazzon12]

also FYI I think any of the lighting above could support them...

 

[daveverdo]

I decided to pass on this one. Thanks anyway.

Dave

 

[daveverdo]

How did this order turn out? Was everything as expected? I was thinking of ordering a few things thought I'd check first.

What did you get? Are you happy?

Dave

 

[drbronx]

This order never did get placed due to flagging interest. However, if others were currently interested, I would be willing to put something together since I could use some gorgonians for myself and the zoo and maybe a ric or two. Prices for gorgonians beat anywhere else I've seen.

 

[frankandmaura]

I would still take the purple feather.

 

[drbronx]

OK, so far its me, zoo, Frank and Nate. Anyone else? Going, going...

I'll probably order Monday for Wenesday delivery.
