vanz Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I see that the premium members get theirs shipped first- Anyone here besides myself going to sign up as a premium member? I'm emailing Brent and asking as a premium member if we can be part of the first ship group, although I am in the 3 group of 50 "Vanz" is #41, but with me being a premium I would get our "group" moved in front of all the non premium members. Where are these getting shipped to? Whomever (Vanz?) is/has set up the "group ship" get back to me ASAP so I can include that in the PM I send Brent. TIA Here is the list and names I recognize-Are we all having them shipped to one spot?? 41 vanz 44 moovinfast jackaninny lewisriverfisherman pledosophy impur ca2or jason s--not sure about this one??? reefnjunkie That's what I see Input???? Hey it doesn't hurt to try, go for it reefnjunkie. The polyps are to be shipped to Kevin (pledosophy) but he will be in the middle of a move, they told me they would get it out before his move, but I don't think that is happening. I will not be here also. Do you want to spearhead this? Please give me your shipping info and I'll PM Brent about the situation if that's the case or you can tell him that you will be handling the vanz/pledosphy portland group ship. Ca2or is not going in on the group ship. Jason S I don't think is participating. Here's the list: Pledosophy vanz mandinga jackaninny pds802 moovinfast lewisriverfisherman impur bswe22 reefnjunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's good or bad by the way you stated that. Reefn, they usually take a few days to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Re: Free purple hornet? basically they dont do well with multiple acclimations in a short period of time. Which is why I passed on group shipping as that is exactly what will happen. More of this info was obtained from multiple PH owners. My conco with Brent was regarding his ipinion of this, which he said basically that the PH's seem to do fine in shipping but could suffer from the multi-acclimations with the different lighting, parameters, and so on. So Snowpunk and I have devised a plan to maximize our chances for success and growth off of the info obtained and a sort of study that we have been engaged in for the last 6 months.

Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Eh, I have direct experience with this morph. I've moved the group buy purple hornet at least 6 times between tanks. Either because of no room, or cleaning or other reasons. Have T5 in one tank, MH in the other and they are not connected so different params also. I've gotten 3 new polyps in about a month. I have it in its final spot now, but its shown no negative effects from the moves. Not once has it even closed for more than a couple hours.

CA2OR Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Re: Free purple hornet? cool. Either way it is already done. At least someone has been successful. I am not saying that everyone loses them, just that I myself am not going to take that chance. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 No worries Brandon-I don't acclimate-(laugh) I sent a message to Brent and copied Vanz and Pledo. in as well confirming me as the ship to, asking for any kind of update etc. If I hear anything I'll post it up. Everything should be fine, like everything reef, Eric has heard one thing, maybe experienced it as well and Miles experience is 180 degree opposite- Not all tanks are created equal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk I see. Hopefully the majority of the polyps make it through for us. Good luck to you as well. Here's something new from the other site, minirex is asking if we want faded ones or wait until they are fully colored up before shipping. If we opt to go the faded route, we will receive 2 polyps each. We'll also get them sooner. I don't care which way we decide. Here's his post "Ok guys I'm ready with 2 healthy and growing Purple Hornet polyps for those of you who don't mind a little color loss and if you'd rather have only a fully colored polyp just put your NCRA name in this thread with your preference.like Minirex (Faded is fine),or minirex (fully colored only).So all members are aware these polyps are fast growers and will grow up to 5 babies a month so even receiving a faded polyp or 2 does not mean they will be a slow grower.You will find them to be fully healthy and growing fast just faded from fragging.Thanks everyone and ill be sending out paypal invoices tonight,tomorrow and for a few weeks to come so please be patient I did not want anyone paying for shipping until i was certain we had enough polyps ready to ship so please excuse the delay! I'll be sending out shipping invoices starting tonight.Thanks for your support! Everyone has been really spectacular!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have seen PH on Jodys site-what did he have them for 50-60-80 per polyp? Sadly thats the online price 60-80 per polyp-Maybe you speak of purple death-hmmm Wanna make sure we are not overpaying 2 free 80.00 polyps-not free shipping costs money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all makes sense now.(laugh) I would not pay 80 bucks for one polyp.(laugh)(backtotopic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
