group buy from coralfanatics.com?

Lance M. · 02-24-2008, 11:05 PM

I am planning on ordering one or two ric's from www.coralfanatics.com and I'm wondering if anyone around here would like to make it a group by to save on shipping. It says 2 day shipping is $25 but I'd rather have overnight and I'm sure it will be somewhere around $50 so if anyone wants to join in let me know.

uh I placed the order. I just HAD to. They are WYSIWYG pieces and I got a lot of rics. I'm going to frag about 5-6 of them and re-sell in about a month. I'll start another thread when I get them. Should be on Wednesday. Oh and I wasn't sure if I paid for shipping (somehow...) so I emailed them and they emailed me back like 10 mins later and I didn't pay for shipping but she said she'd give me the overnight free, I guess since I spend so much...... But that is pretty awesome. There are some cool looking rics comin in!

Good deal on the free shipping. Don't forget the pics!

good deal! I'll definitly be interested in some rics when you are ready!

Good deal Lance, Make sure you post pics of them when you get them.

Sweeeet! I will also be anxiously awaiting the pictures of your new finds.

Lance M. · 02-25-2008, 10:55 PM

I kept the pics they had on their website of what I bought so I could post those tonight or tomorrow and I should be getting the rics in on Wednesday so I will post pics either that afternoon or Thursday.

Ok Here's the pictures off of their website of what I purchased, and then I'll have pictures of what they look like in my tank. The multipe polyp rocks I am pretty sure will not look exactly like the ones pictured bu have the same colors on them. The neon green one, regular green, and the orange double mouth will be really easy to frag and should be ready in about a month.

Awesome looking rics!

aquawolf · 02-26-2008, 06:56 PM

Those are great looking Lance! What an awesome collection, I am truly impressed. Please keep me in mind when they are ready to find a new home.

On a side note, how exactly do you frag the rics? I have just been being patient with mine and forcing live rock rubble and old skeletons close to them in an attempt to coax them to move onto the new stuff. I cut one once I gae it to Tony, but it wasn't very pretty.

tlgreve · 02-26-2008, 07:00 PM

Those are REALLY pretty

Lance M. · 02-26-2008, 09:18 PM

I'll start a new thread about cutting rics maybe friday or this weekend with some pictures. Glad you guys like them. Keep in mind those are the pictures from their website so they may look a little different when I get them in my tank. Still very nice though.

aquawolf · 02-27-2008, 06:59 AM

Definitely very nice and I am eagerly awaiting the pictures to sew qhat they look like in person as you stated.

A new thread for how to frag them is a great idea, it could help quite a few people I am sure.
