That's why I started this thread, just want to point out the good in plain ol black and white, the real reasons for the forum/club. Thanks everyone for the responses, keep em comin.

No worries, these things happen. To be perfectly honest, I would be willing to pitch in for a new colony. I think we all are very aware that corals can be unpredictable and things die for (seemingly) no reason, and it's a risk we all took. I have no ill will toward this grow out, because you are keeping everyone up to date on what's happening (unlike the other GOC that prompted you to start this one LOL).

Thanks so much for doing all of this!

~Never put water from a LFS or any other tank into your tank.

~Add 1 drop of Kent Iodine per 25 gallons of water weekly to help inverts molt easier. Soft corals appreciate this also.

I really like this forum, and would like to know why you visit this site. I'd like us to write down all of the reasons why PNWMAS.org makes reefing a bit better for you.

Positive things only!!

I'll start with a few of mine:

I really like this forum over others because I like that I'm talking to locals, and can often put a face to a screenname. I like that I can meet to buy, sell or trade livestock or equipment. I like that when people are in a pinch others volunteer to help out. I like that we have local sponsors that offer discounts. Oh yeah - GROUP BUYS! (clap)

List one, or list them all! Why do you think pnwmas out ranks the other forums out there?

I get very discouraged whenever something dies. I think I just take it very personally. Like yumas, for example. I LOVE them, but they don't always love me. Or, when things die for no apparent reason. Sometimes a zoa that I've had for a very long time just closes and never opens. To me, it's like a puzzle to figure out, and when I cannot reach a satisfactory conclusion it drive me nuts!

Ok, I emailed them w/ our order totals. Here is the response I rec'd:

Thank you for the order. I just sent you a Paypal invoice. We have recently had an unusually large volume of orders and our Rock-Mag stock is low. Once payment is received I will be able to ship yourorder on Tuesday, February 22nd. Thanks again for your business.

I paid the paypal invoice. Bummer it won't be shipped for a week, but it's in motion now. I'll keep everyone updated if I hear more.

wow that's a great price!! If I hadn't already committed to one I would give you the cash right now!

little bump to see if anyone else wants in. I'm getting antsy and want to send this in, just waiting for one more payment.

Little bump for exposure, but of course I forgot to take a picture last night. I'll get one tonight.

I voted acans, favias or zoas. For me it really depends on the piece if I'm going to buy into chalice or sps.

PM sent...

I just made an order last night...Would have bought more but I need to pay for my new MH fixture (laugh)

that was already tried on some acans but another lfs put that to rest for the group......

I don't understand why as a paying members we are told by stores that no, we can't pool our money and buy something to share. I have no idea what went on, what was said or why. I do know that as a consumer I don't need a retailer's permission to purchase what I want. I'm sorry to clutter this thread, and I know not what I speak since, again, I have no idea what went on, but I find that hard to accept that the rest of the group slowly backs off and says nevermind???

Am very interested in why the last group buy was cancelled and why the stores dictate where/if the money is spent?

If you guys want to do a group buy this badly on a chalice/acan/favia why not talk to a LFS about bringing one in for you guys.

Seems that would be alot easier.

I think maybe a few of us added onto this thread when we should have started a new one. My vote for acans/favias was just that, voting for a local group buy. I'm all for group buys w/ the LFS! As long as competing LFS' can play nice and not rain on the parade. (laugh)

I have a nice big chunk of galaxia that I would like to trade, it's just been sitting in my sump. It pretty much covers a frag plug. I'll post pics tonight but wanted to get this going.

I'm interested in zoas or LPS, mainly acans or favias.

I vote acans/favias!

Got it, thanks! First post updated, payments rec'd are in red.

Nice piece. Someone else also pointed this one out, you should send him a message...

PM sent. We have met our total! If anyone else wants to get in you still have until tomorrow to let me know.

Bump again - still need $8.50
