I apologize for the slow reply, I am in the process of moving tanks and things (and you have to finish what you start rather quickly in this hot weather). Shipping is my single largest expense, so everything would indeed have to go to a single address for any kind of break (sorry). Breaks, even if small (everything helps), are however possible, depending on the item and quantity. For example, supplies and availability for strawberries is so low that I had a quantity LIMIT on them for each order until recently! Let me know what you need, how much, etc. and I'll see what we can do. Thanks!

I could, since I'm so close, maybe they'd cut us a break since it would reduce shipping costs. Just an idea. For now, it's the same as what I pm'ed you, 1 strawberry and 1 brooding anemone. I have to hear back from Randy before I can confirm that though.

Sounds good! If Randy hasn't gotten back to me by then, I'll assume it's a no go, but then again how could I say no to more strawberries?

There has to be someone else wanting coldwater livestock out there.

Maybe we could get in touch with the oregonreef.com guy? I think I remember seeing few more vendors he suggested in a thread awhile back.

M-rep????

He emailed me back in like, two seconds, so that's why I'm asking already.

new mods are weird

Anyways....

I'm going to mexico for a week, so DON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ME!!! Well, you can keep posting random smileys, but other than that...

Daniel, hear anything about strawberries yet?

Hello again Jeremai -

In case you have yet to reach a consensus within your group, perhaps this addendum will help.
A researcher in Missouri just about cleaned me out of my adult strawberries and juvenile brooders. The brooders all but scattered when I moved the tank recently, and they are still so small
that I can't find any but one (maybe two) at the moment. However, I would be willing to offer the following: My remaining strawberries, 12 in all, are all on one rock. If the designated
"trans-shipper" in your group would be willing to do the fragging (and distribute them in whatever manner the group agrees to), I would send all 12 specimens for the price of 10-- but do
understand that some of them are recent transplants and are thus very, very small, and will require some time, patience and powerfeeding before stunning the masses. At present I can only
see one, maybe two brooders. The one or the both of them have climbed onto small rocks already inhabited with other critters, so at least if I can only provide two, they will come with
special surprise bonus specimens. In case any of you were considering orange cups, I just sold out of the large wild adults but do have some tiny cute juveniles (yes, tank-raised from
planular larvae).
Really, only one plumose anemone (tank-raised)? These were made for nano-tanks (especially those with lunar lighting)! Since I'm feeling nice, I must offer 5 for the price of 4, if you
would decide to get some more. And, what the hey, I'll do the same with the aggregating anemones (tank-raised), if you decide to get more.
And why not anything very exotic? Like a painted or white-spotted rose Urticina (which rival any tropical anemone), or a lined chiton (which blow away any tropical chiton), or a
aquacultured frag of purple hydrocoral (for which there is not even a qualifying tropical counterpart)? Also, the little "blood" stars (I'm still questioning my taxonomic designation for these
guys) are truly superb sea stars for the nano-tank, as they are pretty small, active and really, really colorful. So, alright, I'll do 5 for the price of 4 on those as well.
The mossy chitons look great, we have at least two nice big hairy ones.
By the way, everything listed above is aquacultured by us or has been in our system for at least 6 months.
Please understand that these kinds of price breaks are determined by demand for and availability of each item (among other considerations), and are arranged on an order-to-order basis.
In many cases they may not be offered at all. Please understand also that our live arrival guarantee applies only to our shipment to the receiving member of your group-- the other
members of your group must, of course, accept any losses that occur during any subsequent shipping. When purchasing quantity discounted items, order only the number you are paying
for (i.e., if you accept one of the 5-for-the-price-of-4 offers above, only order 4; otherwise the online store will charge you for 5). We will certainly be mindful to ship the arranged
number of items nonetheless.
Thanks so much, I hope this helps... Hope to hear from you again!

Hey, Jeremai. Since your group is primarily interested in obtaining strawberry anemones, I thought I should update you on a few things. I still have 8 or 9 left. Also, I have promised to set aside one or two for Anthony Calfo for a temperate system he will working on in the near future. I would be willing to supply the remainder (however many that will be at the time of your order) for the price I offered in my last message (particularly because, as I mentioned earlier, some of these are very small juveniles) IF you purchase the unfragged colony (which would save me much time and shipping space) AND place a "quantity" order. Of course, I would be happy to sell any smaller number of the strawberries, but they would be at regular price. Thanks again...

Kenneth Wingerter

psst, Jeremai... I'm actually a guy.

But let's discuss the really important news: Anthony Calfo is designing a coldwater tank.

Dang it! I had the second Wrobel article bookmarked, but it's on my other computer, which is in the shop! I guess I'll get it back eventually, hopefully the link still works!

-Jamie

I was SO EXCITED when I tracked down those two links the first time. The info is a bit outdated but the second part would still be a great resource for noobs.
