Emerald525 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The masses have spoken and you guys are longing for a good old fashioned group buy. Again for those of you who are knew to how these work: We basically buy either a large colony and frag it up or buy in bulk to get a discount rate for a nice coral. This way people can get a nice coral at a reasonable price. Cuttlefish is on board and we are planning on having this available at the next meeting! I can't guarantee that Jeff can get what people vote the most for but I will sure try! You can also pick more than one option as if you don't get what you want this time, I'm sure we can do another group buy again. The other bonus is we typically save a frag to auction off for TFT later so everyone wins! Also please comment on other options for a group buy!

Gil&Fin Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 There have been some amazing acan colonies available at CnC lately. I bet he could pick up a nice one for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've seen some of Jeff's secret acro stash and if he'd part (frag) one of those pieces Id be in for that- easy to see comparable frags sell for hundreds Maybe two grow out comps- 1 for "more finicky to keep stuff" (acros) and 1 for the "other" I have to agree with Gil about the acans however for a growout piece once its fragged and healed itll be months before any new growth happens- at least that's what I read on the internet, my experience is nominal [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Probably better Im even more in now Who would I contact if I wanted to do an acro grow out comp. Ive got a few nice colonies and wouldn't mind the proceeds going to the club. Getting back ~25% to cover the costs for the colony (frags), glue, plugs, labor etc. I'd be happy to add in some prizes to sweeten an already sweet offer Sorry for the derailment but you know me 10 minutes ago, Emerald525 said: We aren’t doing a competition just a group buy and I’m sure he has some nice ones stashed away! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might know her.😉 That sounds awesome. I don’t think it would be a problem at all. I am assuming you would run it. Brian did one not too long ago. Just let me run it by the board and now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to try and translate that then realized it could only go very wrong and decided to just back away slowly. Actually, I think I figured it out but the alternative interpretations are much more entertaining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
