Hi All,

We are on for another group buy. Some folks missed out on the last one, and my emeralds both died and given the bubble algae free reign of the tank, so here we go again!

Delivery will be at my office in Irvine on Wednesday, Oct 14th.

For anyone joining for the first time, these group buys work as follows:
1. DM me what you would like to order and I will add it to my current order
2. Week of the shipment I will send group PMs to prepare for arrival and arrange pick-up times from my office in Irvine (near the Spectrum on Technology Drive)
3. When CUC arrives, I receive and check every bag, tally all of the Alive on Arrivals and then text you with what came in and what you're total is with shipping.
4. We split UPS shipping so that our inverts arrive in great condition. Recent shipments have been nearly 100% alive on arrival, so I've been pretty happy with it. At most, your total shipping cost will be $11, but it could go down with more buyers ($9 for 5, $7.50 for 6, etc).
5. When you come to pick up the CUC we will have another look at everything and you can repay me at that time (Zelle, Cash, Venmo, etc.)
6. You don't have to worry about DOAs, I take that up with John
7. IF your CUC arrives and looks like it's in dire straits, e.g., dirty yellow water, floaties, etc., I will open the bag and acclimate the CUC in fresh saltwater at 1.025-1.026sg. I only do this if it looks like they might not make it, and we can keep monitoring them for 24hr--if it dies, I'll repay you and talk to John.

Let me know of you have any questions. Thanks!

Cheers,
Joe

Do inverts from ReefCleaners need to be quarantined for risk of parasites like ich?

I'm sure risk is never 0%, but ReefCleaners keeps inverts in invert-only containment, as I understand it, which minimizes risk of parasites hitchhiking. I don't know if he keeps any fish at all. Good question, I'll have to ask him. Can an ich cyst attach to a snail in the wild and be brought into ReefCleaners facilities and make it to your tank before releasing as infectious theronts? Yes, I suppose that is possible. It imagine it to be the same risk/likelihood as getting a coral from most of the chop shops though. If you quarantine your new coral for 72 days (or however long it is now), then no reason not to quarantine your snails, too!

Reminder to get your orders in this week if possible. Last orders should be by this Sunday--I can try for last minute additions Monday the 12th, but I'm out of office that day, so might be hard for me to check and place orders (clone's birthday).

Ok, thanks again for a great group! I am reserving a spot for 1 more buyer that I might open up later, but otherwise I've got a full group! Anyone that has already ordered can, of course, make last minute additions.
