Ocean In a Box

I have a dealer in Chicago that has some deep water zoanthids he ordered for me that are suppose to be just killer. I have seen a few posts on other forums but just wondering if anyone here has ever had any? I think they are calling them japanese zoanthids to. I did a search and the pics are pretty incredible. Im hoping they really look as good as the pics.

I have a website and a warehouse which isnt open to the public at this point and time. My website is down due to a lot of major renovations and additions. I love the duncans too, one of my all time fav's. I really like the blue and purple ones. They are my 2nd favorite only to the Dendros. There is also a NEON green duncan which I have in my personal tank at home which is wicked looking. This one is in my tank at home. Here is a pic of the largest duncan colony I have ever had. Almost 175 heads.

If you ever want to see what they look like before you buy them you can come by and look at mine. I have a variety in stock typically always have about 200-300 in stock. And I dont mind you coming in for camparison purposes. you would just need to pm me to set up a time.

The AfterBurner chalice is a frag of the mother colony pictured above. Here is a picture of one of the first frags I ever had cut almost 2 years ago. Intense light caused all the red to come out. I'ts a beaut of a chalice...Enjoy it!!!!

You can take it as condesending if you want. It wasnt meant that way. The way I meant it and you have to agree is....You dont see your corals your buying. It's a grab bag until you open the bag at your store. You order 20 corals and yes even if you get 20 you dont know what they look like until they arrive(were any dead on arrival). From me they came in and cherry picked me to get the best possible (healthy)coral for you the end consumer. They walked out my door with corals in hand and knew exactly what they would charge when they got back to the store. Funny thing is when they marked them up and sold them to you for full retail they werent complaining about it then. And when you bought the coral you didnt complain about the price. This is all sponsor bashing sponsor and it's pathetic......You think your customers will appreciate this type of bickering? Your scared of competion. You have freedom of choice to shop where you want and buy what you want and pay what you want. And I should be able to conduct my business any way I want to. The whole reason I got into this business was because it made me want to PUKE at how high the prices were. I took my market to ebay because I felt people will pay for a coral what they feel the coral is worth. Im done posting on this thread.......Support your LFS and Coral Stores

You can send it back and I'll forward it on to the team...Thanks!!!!

You got it right at the right time. I was about to whack it in half.

I know your not, I've seen what you buy remember? (drooler)

Dang it....All this talk about pee.........Be right back....lol

Will update as information develops.

OH YEAH MATT, and you got that KILLER fruit loops acan....I WANT IT BACK... Havent seen another like it and bet I wont in this lifetime. You my friend got a heck of a acan with that one. I could create such a mega waitlist for you of people that want a frag off that. I still get asked about it to this day.

Unreal..... I think im done posting here!!!!

Amen, you got that right....hahhaha Careful what you wish for!!!!!

Yeah a teeny tiny piece the size of a fleck of pepper....LOL

Where did you get that I would sell for less than retail? When you came in a few weeks ago and bought that TYREE watermelon chalice frag did I sell it to you for wholesale or retail? Seems to me you paid full blown retail $300 for the frag.

Due to circumstances beyond my control I will have to pospone the membership drive to the OIAB membership program. Something has come up over in Australia and it looks like I will be making a trip over to discuss our Aussie bussiness relations. Not sure when we will be back on line, but will begin posting just as soon as I have some concrete information.

I havent had a lot of luck with these either. I think I have had 4 now.

It's not actually a storefront per say. Were not open to the general public like your LFS. We are more of a distribution center with our primary business being nationwide wholesale. I have had several folks suggest various ideas that would allow us to sell to a select few people. To offer an exclusive opportunity to come in and buy from us at a discounted retail price. Therefore we are developing an opportunity for "members only". We really have no desire to be a public marketplace. That is not our intent at all. Hence the very limited schedule. There is a little more info you can read about on our "members" section at our website. It's not for everyone, and thats ok, but for those that feel it is of value then im sure it will be worth it. We are scheduled to open to members beginning April 1st. We are still waiting for some of the packet information and promotional tools to be completed so if you think it will work for you then plan on coming buy and getting signed up. Please read the more detailed information on our website. To sign up as a member is by appointment only, so you can email me and I will start a list and respond back shortly. email me at perry@oceaninabox.com
