Any interest in a CuC order in Des Moines area?

Going to take advantage of the warm weather and will be placing an order to refresh our clean up crew from Reeftopia. We will likely be around $100 - free shipping at $149 (it is $35 otherwise based upon our order which we can split pro-rata). Here is the link:

I am thinking arrival on Thursday, February 16. Let me know if you want in and what you want. If w haven't done any transactions before you will need to paypal me before I place the order so I don't get "more than expected". Let me know by Sunday evening. Thanks

 

@Dave, great idea with the unusual temps. Wish I could join in but will be out of town. If it gets delayed a week or so please let me know.

 

@Dave - I need to add a little bit to my tanks, but not much. AI'll figure it out this weekend.

What are you planning to order? Any lot items or near lot items? Reeftopia is good about giving 'lot' pricing for anything over their initial 'lot' quantity. That might encourage a few people that need just a small amount of addition.

@Region: Des Moines & Ames - at our holiday party a couple weeks ago we talked about a group order for fish. This is a great opportunity to get your CUC back up to snuff!!

For those that don't know - for example, their astrea snails (really nice size) are $10/dozen or $40 for a lot of 100 (that's only $.40 a snail). For any amt over 100 astrea snails, they give you all those snails for $.40/snail.

 

I am planning on ordering:
- 100 Turbo snails - $40
- 4 lettuce nudibranch (from lots page) - $24
- 12 Large Cerith snails - $15
- 20 peppermint shrimp - $50
- 2 royal gramma - $16.50
- 1 black cap basslet - $35

So, already at free shipping.

 

I'd be interested in 12 of the large Cerith and 12 Nassarius Vibex.

I'd also never considered lettuce nudibranches before, but some quick research and I'm interested! Would 4 be too much for a 65gal tank?

 

I'd like the following:

2-Lettuce Nudibranch- $12 ($6 each? Or is it for every order of 4 you get that discount. otherwise $16 total)
12-Large Cerith Snails-$15
12-Nassarius Vibex-$10 (anyone want to split this with me? I don't need 12 nassarius, only 6 at most.)

 

@Dave
I'll take:

10 turbo snails (assuming they are included in the lot price) $4.00
12 large Cerith snails - $15
12 Nassarius snails - $10
1 emerald crab - $4.25
4 peppermint shrimp - $10 if included in with your lot price above, otherwise $12
1 or 2 lettuce nudibranch - if I can get in on a lot price for $6/each

Looks like the total should hit $200 - for a 10% discount!

 

Last time I placed the group order, that was the way it worked.
It also looks like we need to find some other people interested in Cerith snails - as the 4 of us each want a dozen at $15 - or $60 total. Their lot price for their best cerith snails is $60 for 100!

 

I'll take 20 ceriths if we do the 100 count.

 

Replying to my own comment for formatting:

12 - large Cerith snails -$15
12 - Nassarius vibex snails - $10
2 - Lettuce nudibranchs - $12 (assuming $6/ea otherwise I'm willing to split a 4-pack to get at least 1)

 

@GoodGreef @StormyMoe @beckerj3 - I sent you all a PM with order details.

 

Dang.. I would have totally jumped on Reeftopia's $8.25 royal gramma deal if I had seen this in time.
