HEZA FINAL LIST! Growers time to make your picks!

[Emerald525]

Money has been paid and seller is working on fragging. Here is the finalized polyp count!(laugh) I'm so excited!(cheer)(dancing) We have our growers finalized too and now Growers you need to make your picks.

Here's how it works. You get to pick one from each group. There are 12 items so that leaves 2 extras which will go to me and Reefnjunkie for having the highest vote total unless he doesn't want them and then they get defered to next highest voter.Again those who wanted to be growers and didn't get a chance there are also freebies that are coming.

Growers in order of votes and picks
1. Emerald525 paradise and lima limon, Wobbegongs
2. Reefnjunkie yodas and sky lima limon
3. Pantherguy (was a tie with JR but won the coin flip) raptor rainbows and avatars
4. Bigjohnwoody dragonballz and xmen animal
5. Topher Kaleidoscopes and orange addictions and 2 polyp paradise frag

Freebie list

Raptor rainbows group 1,Avatars group 2

[Emerald525]

List updated. JR has decided to be a backup grower instead so Bigjohnwoody you are next and then Topher.

[Bigjohnwoody]

I'll do the Dragonball Z's for the first and the X-men animal for the second.

[Emerald525]

Got it! Okay Topher you're up!

[Emerald525]

Okay I have Topher's picks and posted. I took the Wobbegongs and all that is left is the Time machines. They will go to Reefnjunkie if he wants or if not then to Pantherguy, and on down the line.

[Emerald525]

Slight change. I forgot since everyone had wanted the paradise that I wanted 2 frags to increase the chance of survivability. So there is a 2 polyp frag and a 3 polyp frag. I will take the 3 polyp frag. If someone wants to trade their pick and get the other frag let me know. Dibs goes by votes just like picks.

[Topher]

I'm up for it. Send me to paradise kimlol

[Bigjohnwoody]

I'll vote for Topher to get them. Judging from his growth in the growout competition, we will all have frags in about a week(laugh).

[rgrcrain]

+1 for Topher. And the Time Machines are the one i'm in this for so grow em' quick.

[Emerald525]

Okay Topher you can have the second Paradise frag. I'm glad we have 2. The seller says they get "touchy" with fragging and they are small zoas. Time machines are available still if any other growers are interested.

[reefnjunkie]

I'll do the time machines unless someone else speaks up-I was going to grab those but opted for yodas-

I think Time machines are "micro" zoas similar to AOI's, just means they are fun to frag (laugh)

[Emerald525]

Yeah the time machines are small too. I'm fine with u having them Brad

[Emerald525]

Group II zoas will be arriving Friday morning!(clap)(dancing)He is shipping fed ex overnight to arrive before 1030am. Usually fed ex arrives before 9 or 10am if the ditched the douchebag driver we used to have (laugh) Reefnjunkie and Pantherguy are meeting me. John I will give yours to either Jody or you on Sunday. Topher I have not heard about what is going to work for you. Let me know. I will post pictures in this thread when I get them. I will plan on starting a new thread for the actual growout part! and as always

HEZA!!!(rock2)(rock2)

[impur]

Awesome, we have one sweet set of zoas in the one (rock2)

[J.R]

HEZA!!!(rock2)(rock2)

[Emerald525]

Got the Fed ex tracking number! (clap) Group II zoas have shipped and should be here tomorrow morning! I will post pictures! and as always

HEZA(rock2)(rock2)(rock2)

[J.R]

When do the group one's ship?

[Emerald525]

When do the group one's ship?

Not sure yet J.R. They have been fragged but want to wait at least 2 weeks possibly 3 weeks before shipping.

[spye]

Cant wait to see them =)

[Emerald525]

Shipment arrived at 915! (clap). Only one minor problem the containers were not labeledDOH!(laugh)
Brad picked up one it was my best guess as to the sky lima limons.

They all look great just trying to figure out what's what which is hard to do when things are closed up.

Pictures coming soon.

[J.R]

Good deal, thanks for the update!

[Topher]

since they are not labeled, if we get a frag of something that we were not scheduled to get are we just going to keep them for now to avoid stress of multiple tank transfers?

[Emerald525]

since they are not labeled, if we get a frag of something that we were not scheduled to get are we just going to keep them for now to avoid stress of multiple tank transfers?

Yes, Chris. I would just keep it and grow that one. Not a huge deal as the are all nice and on the positive there are more polyps on most than was stated.

[impur]

Can't wait to see pics!!!! (rock2)

[Topher]

nice double post!lol that is cool i don't quite care much if they are distriduted a little inaccurate, as you said, they are all quite nice! have i picked up the zoas yet? lol

[Emerald525]

It's picture time!(clap)(clap)(cheer)(highfive)(drinking)(Rim) Thanks everyone for being patient! Group II zoas arrived from Puerto Rico at 915am! They all look great! Only one snafu as stated! The cups weren't labeled!DOH! I passed my best guess of sky lima limons to Brad already but I don't think that's what they were. There also appears to be one freebie to grow which goes to Spye!(clap) Things are opening up already! Also there are more polyps then were expected so people should be getting their frags soon!

Package arrived 915 am. Nice fed ex guy other guy must have been fired!

http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af36/Emerald525/Group%20buy/DSC09474ARW.jpg

The ones on the right I think are the sky lima limons. Brad not sure what you got then maybe the lima limons. Topher I gave you the frag on the left because its the orangest one of the group(laugh)

http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af36/Emerald525/Group%20buy/DSC09476ARW-1.jpg

[Topher]

so did i pick up the frags yet? (whistle)

side note; pedicure wouldn't hurt(laugh)

[Topher]

so what will be the polyp count before they fall under the knife? since we have a few more than originally thought, do we wait till everyone could have two polyps?

[spye]

Wow they all look great and healthy so far. I ean for just coming out of packaging they look great IMO. Yeah if theres any freebies I will gladly give it a shot. All my zoos are healthy in my tank...

[spye]

I wouldnt mind waiting till we had enough for everyone to have two polyps. Seem to have a way less likely chance of a meltdown with two than one. atleast in my experience.

[J.R]

Looks like Kim needs to re-paint her Toe's....lol

I would say that depends on how quickly they grow. I agree the more polyps the better chance of survival.




rofl (laugh)

Yes they were shipped very well except for the labeling part (laugh) Gotta love it when zoas come all the way from Puerto Rico and are opening up in the tank within 2 hours of being put in there.

I did read somewhere that actinic only lights will make them open faster so the fact that the mhs weren't on may have helped. (scratch)Not sure where I read that thought so not sure how true that is.(scratch)

Really? I mean really? All these nice zoas and all you care about is the nail polish on my big toe?(wife)(wife)rofl

That's what happens when you get a pedicure and you don't wait for the polish to dry and I don't have the matching polish so the heck with it!!DOH!(laugh)

I'll try to remember to keep any extraneous body parts out of any future updates!(whistle)

LOL I know I looked back and you had posted about the same time I put up pictures (laugh)!

In a few days when everyone figures out what they have I will post an official growout page that is just for updates.

Any talk about me needing a pedicure in the official growout page will be deleted!(wife) Keep all comments about my messed up pediure strictly to this area!(laugh)

[reefnjunkie]

Not sure what I got but they are red or orange-I'll post a pic later, I have been very busy the last 4 days working on the remodel

They do look like sky lima limons or the ones I have already... Hmmmmm

[pantherguy30]

Avatars in the tank. They all haven't opened yet. Gonna do a water change tomorrow and see if that makes them any happier. I also added more glue to them, as they were flapping in the flow:( just didn't want to loose any!!

Do we need to confirm this so that we can get the right ones If they sent us two of the same?

I wouldn't sweat these Chris. The Lima limons and sky lima limons look very similar so they may be different and will be easier to figure out with time. This group of zoas were only about 20 dollars of "your investment". It's the group I zoas that are the really high end that really count and yes I will make sure they are labeled. (laugh) These are nice and I purposely wanted the cheaper ones to arrive first so growers could figure out any kinks in their systems.

I'm guessing Brad by process of elimination that you have the orange addictions.

[Emerald525]

Just an update on Group I zoas from the seller:

"Hi Kim, just wanted to give you an update. Everything looks good so far although the paradise frag didnt make it so i cut another one that has 4-5 polyps on it. Sorry i cant split them they are to tough to frag like that. But the new frag is opened and looks better! Just for that ill give you an extra freebie! "

So bad news is there will only be one paradise frag but good news is one more freebie. I will be out of town July 4th week as I figure some other people will so I don't really want to leave expensive newly arrived zoas in my tank and leave them so I'm planning for either the following week or week after that. I know that seems like a long time to wait but the more time they have to heal before shipping the better odds for survival so it is really an easy trade off.

[reefnjunkie]

Safe vs sorry, plus the longer he has them after fragging the better
Sounds good waiting-IMO

oh and the ones I have still look the same, if they look that way in a couple days, I think I want to not be a grower.

I have been down this slippery slope and the ride is not fun

[Mr S]

I agree. Have the grower hold onto them for as long as possible.

Don't sweat it Brad. If the rest of your zoas are doing okay but that's up to you. You have about a month to decide.

[stylaster]

looking good guys~ Grow baby grow HEZA!!!!!

sssoooooooo, when are the other zoas coming in?

Thanks for the update Kim

[Topher]

that's cool.. just checking in. the healthier the better.

[reefnjunkie]

well the 5th polyp has opened up on the Orange whatever I have-Sunday I tore the whole frag tank down and cleaned the glass which had bryop growing and scrubbed every rotten square I have on my frag rack-my guess is about 1600 squares-Man you would have thought (and maybe you still do) I was some tweakin crack head-

Anyway the tank is looking sweet and everything is looking good-when I was putting the frags back in I noticed that Orange one I have was holding onto the plug by the edge of a single polyp-I reglued it all is good-I would bet had I not geeked out, it would have came loose and floated away-Then there would have been a "reefin roast"
