"Matt" just Paypal'd me, but I'm not sure if that is @CoralReefTankers or @CrazyInside

Got you as the backup!

Got you, Dakota! You're on #4, and NOT on #1.

As promised, I’ve brought my $10 sales to the forum, by making up 6-packs! Each 6-pack is $60. Here’s how it works: The packs are identified below in list format, followed by pictures of each pack. I did my best with the pictures, but I’m still learning, so go easy on me. If the colors are off or the polyps aren’t open, it’s the photographer’s fault. Also, I did my best with the coral names. I tried not to use brand names unless I was relatively sure the coral originated from that source. If you see a pack you want, post “Sold” and the number. If someone beat you to it, you’ll automatically go on a list of back ups for that pack. If you are the first person to post “Sold” and the number, you will have 24-hours to make payment (Paypal--hollysomers@yahoo.com or Venmo--holly-somers), or the pack goes to the next person. You have 7-days for pick-up, or the pack goes to the next person. Local pick-up only. I’m in southwest Portland near Washington Square. I’ll put the packs outside so we can keep our cooties to ourselves.

Don't forget to tune in tonight at 6 pm! Lots of gems to be found!

Lordy, Brad. Get your mind out of the gutter. Just keep on drivin'. 🤣

Fantastic! Pack number 2 has a great assortment of xenia, toxic palys, Kenya trees, GSP, and some green hair algae thrown in for good measure. Congrats! Venmo or Paypal would be fine.

I thought it would be fun to bring my $10 sales to the forum, by making up 6-packs! Each 6-pack is $60 (duh). This Saturday night (April 25) at about 6 pm, I’ll post the packs in a separate thread entitled “SALE THREAD--Saturday Night 6-packs.” Here’s how it will work: 1. I’ll post pics of the packs, with numbers. 2. You post “sold” and the number. 3. You will have 24-hours to make payment (Paypal or Venmo), or the pack goes to the next person. You have 7-days for pick-up, or the pack goes to the next person. 4. Local pick-up only. I’m in southwest Portland near Washington Square. I’ll put the packs outside so we can keep our cooties to ourselves. This will be fun! See you Saturday!

Been seeing you around a little, Kim. I think you're getting that itch. Don't resist. Come back to the fray. You know you want to.

I agree that copperbands are really hard to get through quarantine and that Aussies are your best bet. One thing that helped me was a product called Masstick. You make a paste and stick it on a rock or PVC or even the glass and the fish will graze on it. (It's helped me with angels and other fish that are hard to get through quarantine, too.) You can read more about it here: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/masstick-fish-food-easy-reefs.html. Once they get into the display tank they are going to have to compete with the other fish, so you should transition them to free-floating frozen (or whatever/however you normally feed) in the quarantine tank. Good luck!

I picked up a nice piece of Shawn's colony a week or two ago and it's doing great! Very healthy and the candy canes are large and bright. Buy with confidence!

Thank you Jeff, Jorge, and the rest of the CnC gang for doing this! It's a great cause, and a great way to give back. Let's keep it going, everyone! $30 each on #2, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8

Rudy, your online store is amazing! It looks completely professional, easy to view, and, as always, amazing pictures. There is a great selection of corals at great prices. Five stars!

Well you get bragging rights effective immediately! Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

When I left for work this morning it was still one piece. Look what I found when I got home! Congratulations Andy@Oregonic for picking today at high noon! Let me know when you're over this way and you can pick out a coral! Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

What do you think, is it ready to split? If you think so, comment and guess the day/time the split will complete. I'll donate a $10 frag to the winner! [Full disclosure--I will not be checking all night long or every hour every day until it splits so don't get mad if I don't know the exact time. We're going to have to be flexible here, people. 😉] Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Hi, Brian. I have $10 coral sales every three months or so, in southwest Portland. This post was just for people in the Springfield area that can't get up to Portland on those dates. I always post my Portland sales on here, so keep a look out! Should be May-ish.

I have a meeting in Springfield on this Wednesday morning, March 4. In the past I've been contacted by a couple of people down that way that haven't been able to make it up to my $10 sales. I'm happy to bring a few with me. PM me if interested. Holly

Thank you so much for the kind words. Warms my heart. You know that you and your family are welcome anytime. Especially the baby. : ) Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Oh my gosh John, thank you for the kind words! We have a great reefing community here and I am lucky to be part of it.

Thanks to everyone who came out today! I had a great time. I met some new friends and got to chat with old ones. I am so fortunate to have so much help with these sales. Shawn@DarkAngel is amazing, keeping the whole process moving and making sure everyone goes home with the right corals. We sold more than 200 corals in just 2 hours, so it is no small feat to stay organized. I tried really hard to give Sean@albertareef the day off so that he could just hang out and talk to people, but he would hear none of it and bagged like a crazy man. Thanks to Brian@pdxmonkeyboy who helped bagging and banding and providing comic relief. It is impossible to take yourself too seriously when Brian is around. I should also thank my daughter for cashiering, but she is not on the forum, plus I gave her life so she sort of owes me. Finally, I can't thank my BFF Jeff@CuttleFishandCoral enough for all he does for these sales. The list is long--everything from helping me pick out nice colonies to grow and frag, to helping all of you pick out a nice coral for your tank. Thank you! Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Today is the day! I'm very excited! I hear there may be some O.G.'s in the house so introduce yourselves around and pick some brains while you're here. The frags are looking great. Cookies and drinks for all. *Remember--I'll be handing out RANDOM numbers at 12:45 pm, so there is no need to come early! Everyone who is here at 12:45 pm has an equal chance of getting in first. Cheers!
