Mark - Can you confirm the pickup location for Fri pickup? Is it still going to be at your work place that evening?

I'll still be at work from 6:30pm to about 9:30 or 10:00pm. Saturday in Pacifica.

Sounds great...I'll plan on shooting over there at around 8 or so...will call when I leave next week.

Thanks again to everybody for organizing it!

teachermark - I'll probably come by around 6:30 to 7pm depending on traffic. Thanks for getting this thing started and for being the central hub.

lego - Thanks again for coordinating the order.

 

[chem-e]

Boy, this thread has been a kinda quiet. Isn't anyone looking forward to all the inverts?

teachermark - I'm still planning to come by around 6:30pm.

 

[teachermark]

That's fine, but please don't come in before 6:30. You can call me when you get here if you'd like to.

 

[Lordhelmet]

is it still due tomorrow?

 

[Sparkss]

AFAIK it should be.. unless Keys Critters had some issues with filling the order(s). Hopefully lego can chime in with that information, since it is after 4 PM EST, so they should be done boxing it all up by now.

So if it all goes through, what time are you planning to have people come pick up from you on Saturday Chris ?

 

[Lordhelmet]

i hope to be back in san jose around 11 to 12. i need people to chime in and let me know who I'm picking up for and what.

thank you.

chris.

Keys confirmed the order earlier this week, so it should be coming tomorrow.

TeacherMark, is 6:30 PM the earliest time for pickup? I'd love to get my inverts into my tank as soon as possible to reduce stress / die off. I'll call before I come over.

 

[gavin123]

i'll be there around 7-8 thanks, let em know if things change.

Speak of the Devil, Keys sent me the following today:

good afternoon, evening our time. We were not able to pack the one Sally crab. They do not look perfect and we do not pack animals that there might be something wrong. We will refund back through PayPal. $2.75
There is a big bag of fish bags and rubber bands in the box for you.

Your FedEx tracking number: 791655943780


All dry packed 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
Keys Critters/Corrie
