I sent Mitch form livestockusa.org the questions you all had and will post his reply.
As I have said before I'll be ordering one full box of Timor corals for myself; members have said they would possibly go in on other items if they could be split. Please post here if your considering, and what your considering so I can begin to group buyers up.

I have sent out the PDF's he emailed me,
Ordering format is (to my knowledge) if you order by the box the cost is fixed. If you ask for them to cherry pick it can raise the price. If you request certain coral, depending on the coral it can raise or lower the price of the total box. Boxes can be split (I have a question to him now regarding mixing boxes; Timor/Vietnam for example)

Happy new year gang, drink two for me.

Tom.
 
Update:
Mitch at livestockusa.org got back to me with the answers to members question.
"Hi Tom,

On the Nam boxes, YES you can get halves or thirds
(for the non-ultra) of each category.

Of course the Kupang (Timor) you can pick anything you
want, and sure we can pick half the box for you...
They have great corals.* Like Indo 20 years ago.

But no two different origin sources can be mixed in a
single box.* It must be in box increments from origin source.
As the boxes are packed there, and only processed at LAX
(new bags, water, ox).

The greenhouse list though can be cherry-picked at will
and added to any boxes passing through, or just a $12-15
box charge (flux for # of heat packs needed) if another
box is required.

regards,
Mitch"

That being said I am now taking orders for the club buy.
I'll need to know:
-That you are a current slash member
-You must have paypal (if not we can figure it out I'm sure; paypal is just soooooo much easier)
-The items your wanting. Like: You would like to share a full box of Vietnam Combo Rocks with other members splitting the total cost.

PM me:D
Cheers,
Tom
 
I would be willing to go in on a box of acropora_X. Box A or Box B (20) rare acro corals. The box is 1300 all in. If 4 people go in, it would be $325 a person. Assuming everything comes in as expected we each get 5 6-9cm colonies. Then we make 3 frags from the colonies you get to give to the other people that went in. That way everyone gets at least a frag of each of the colonies and you keep 5 of the colonies. So $325 for 5 colonies and 15 frags of rare acros. So if I get three takers then we can add this to Tom's order.

I'm not in this go around, but not sure if breaking up new colonies is good. I think this leads to RTN. Might want to check in SPS forum.

I would think that allowing a colony time to acclimate and adjust before fragging would be best.

to each his own but I would recommend dipping at a minimum. quarantine would be best.
 
I'm in for a split box of acro.
In the process of moving some stock and I do have the resources for storage once I clean out if needed.
 
Also Mitch said any Vietnam non-ultra orders can be in 1/4 and 1/2 box sizes, so mushrooms or combo rocks are available without having to buy the full box. Plus if you see an item listed in his green house it can be added to the order without adding another box.

If you need the pdf's pm me with a good email address and I'll shoot you them. Spend some time looking over his website, lots of information about all the wonderful places he gets coral in from, screen shots of past coral shipments and all the information on how they get to us. livestockusa.org under coral information click "box a lot" specials to see most of the stuff we have been talking about.

Cheers,
Tom

Is anyone else putting an order for something else besides the acro box

What are you interested in Pepino? Some stuff can be ordered single or 1/2, 1/4 box. Since other boxes are getting ordered there would not be much for shipping/boxing.

I was sending out the information but it was in excel format. I have saved it as a PDF for those who don't use Microsoft office. Just send me a good email.
