spectra Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 We are kind of spoiled as there are a few stores local to me. They just don't stock RFAs.....when they do prices are a bit steep for what you get. 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I looked at VIP also and there were some neat ones. I just hate the 50 dollar shipping......I know we have to deal with it but it stinks I think that is my biggest pet peeve of this hobby......all these gorgeous corals and they have to be shipped...... I hate shipping too BUT LFS around here sells green RFAs for $35 each. I figured if I buy just 3 RFAs from VIP, it already made up for shipping and I get the nice red ones. And when I bought 13, then I more than made up for shipping =P. 2 Quote Link to comment

Is this a bad time to mention I am 15 minutes from VIP reef? Probably *walks away slowly* 2 Quote Link to comment

I drove 13 hrs to get there last June but unfortunately, season over by first week of June due to too much algae growth and/or bleaching. Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Is this a bad time to mention I am 15 minutes from VIP reef? Probably *walks away slowly* Just tell Harry to buy them from VIP and ship it to us 2 days priority =P. I bet they can survive 2 days if Harry packs them real nice...hahaha. On another news, someone just came and bought all the rocks from my nano tank. Sold the branch zoas rock for $40. Sigh. I paid $40 just for the rock itself. Then someone is coming to pick up the tank and nanobox duo for $100 soon. I should have asked for more. Blah. 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 $20 for this from VIP is insane! He must have uploaded this recently or I would have added it to my order. 2 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yeah, cuz I was checking frequently and I didn't even see that one. Awesome, just the best, perfect orange. I saw some before this one that were might pretty but they were gone after a day. Then his system had issues and then upon returning the 2 I saw were gone. 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh man, I would've paid more than that for your zoas! I didn't have any plans to come back to Chicago though. It has to be hard to see them all go. 1 Quote Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Man, that's a gorgeous RFA o_O Wish we saw items even half as gorgeous as that north of the 49th. 1 Quote Link to comment

yoshii Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Oh wow I didn't realize you had that many RFAs!! 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Quick photos of the RFAs I love seeing all the rfas. What I love is when they appear to show blue. I'm still waiting for mother nature to make some blues like turquoise and sky blue! You've got some wonderful rich colors. 3 Quote Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Are there any online vendors that will ship to Canada? Ohh, there are a reasonable amount of vendors out here (FragBox, Big Show Corals, Canada Corals, and probably a few others I could easily remember if I wasn't so tired), it's just that RFA's don't seem to be as popular with the online vendors, or they sell out really REALLY fast. 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Oh wow I didn't realize you had that many RFAs!! got 12 today =) I love seeing all the rfas.

I haven't seen any bright blue ones yet. Kimberbee got a dark blueish one last time that is Ohh, there are a reasonable amount of vendors out here (FragBox, Big Show Corals, Canada Corals, and probably a few others I could easily remember if I wasn't so tired), it's just that RFA's don't seem to be as popular with the online vendors, or they sell out really REALLY fast. They must not have Florida suppliers. I bet ricordeas are hard to come by too? pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's hard to say, as I only check their sites every now and then, and with a number of them stock can sell in thirty minutes or less after they've posted pics to Facebook. We do seem to be getting better selection, it seems to just take a bit longer with Canadian websites I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment
