another shot

I love your chalice collection. How do you get most of them (mail, LFS, ect)? I recently used Vivid Aquariums to buy a watermelon chalice, joker zoathids and a green open brain. They arrived packed excellently, all in great condition and two months later they are doing great. Have you had good experience with mail order stuff?

I do all the things, mail order, LFS, Wholesale with the LSF owners, Coral Events, Frag swaps. I had to educate my LFS owner with 20-30 pages of coloured printed chalices before she start bringing in the ones I like. Most of the colonies you see here were less then $100. She's happy making $20-30 quick money, I'm happy getting the colony for less then a frag price.

I can drive to Vivid from my place so I never got a mailings from them, but they are top class around here. Some of other local vendor who does online sales are Fraggle reef, Reef hot spot, and wet thumb frag. I know them and they are really great in what they do.

Like I've explained previously, I am not a vendor or a sale person, just another guy spending too much time and money in the hobby:)
