Frag order

[tank o tang]

I am going to be putting in an order for frags. It needs to reach $250 for free shipping and wanted to see if anyone else would like to jump in. PM me for details. You must pay for in advance and pickup will be in bridgeport. Looking to place to order early next week.

Jeff tell us were the order is going to be out of what place midwestfrags like we talked about the other day... Still

[tank o tang]

Yes, I am ordering from midwest frags and will pay for the order at the start of next week. Depending on who orders what, if its ready or if they cut and let the frags heal before they ship. I would expect shipping to be mid week next week or the following week.

[tank o tang]

Looks like we hit the free shipping mark.

[scolley]

Cool. Keep in touch. I'm good as arranged. ;)

[fiddly_foo]

were good for free shipping then I'll prob get a frag I'll look now.. think I'm gonna go for 2 polyp's of the True Hawaiian Ding Dangs for 30$..Brian.

[tank o tang]

Have to let me know for sure as it is not your average store where you fill a shopping cart. I have to have to actually talk to someone to place the order. Some of the frags I ordered have to be fresh cut so I will pay on Monday and the order will ship at the end of this week or early next week.

So far I have Rob, Steve, and Didier down for an order. If I have missed anyone please pm me your order.

[fiddly_foo]

Ok I'll call you and stop by 2morrow and drop off money and tell you what im getting.. well im getting 2 polyp's True Hawaiian Ding Dangs should be 30$ later Brian

I have added to Rob's order and also included Tony and Brian.

Last call as I will finalize the order tonight.

I put mine in last nite, and honestly I was shocked at the thread algae. It was on every frag plug but one. And I went back and looked at their site, and found many of my WISIWIG frags as "SOLD". And on none of them was the long threads of algae presen in the picture. Now it's long threads, waving in the current. I removed what I could.

I know for many people this is not an issue. But in my little nano, I don't have any real herbivores ("don't put a tang in that little tank!"). So it's an issue. Now - for dealing with Midwest Frags, I've introduced a new algae into my environment that I've had no evidence of to this point.

Bummer. First algae problem I've had with a vendor. I'm hoping these will be some d*mn good looking frags. Based on this single experience, I would not recommend this vendor without qualification.

Hopefully your hermits & snails will take care of it. If you find it to be a big problem, let me know. I can hold them for a few days for you and my crew will decimate anything algae on those frags. The raptors I got at CMAC had algae all over the plug, my crew picked it clean in a few hours.

[tank o tang]

Yes I got very little algae on the plugs also but if your system has nothing to feed it then it should wilt away very quickly without any aid from a cuc. Can you post a pic of all this algae because the very little on my frags is barely noticeable.

I will be putting in another order in the close future as soon as they get back in some of the stuff they had out of stock. Again, I am very happy with my frags.

[robertzoa]

thanks again jeff and brian... i put them in last night late and havent got the chance to see the frags yet... i cant wait to see them tonight

[Ducho99]

Thanks Jeff....All my frags look great and are full of color which to me is the most important thing to me..I also had some algae but by the morning it was all gone.. my cuc took take care of that..I will post pic's of them later.

I think we should do this once a month.

Thanks

[scolley]

Can you post a pic of all this algae because the very little on my frags is barely noticeable.
Nope. Don't have pics. Nothing to photograph because I abraded the frag plugs to get off as much as I could before I put it in the tank. But a description is easy... hair algae, green, threads up to 1/4" long waving in the dip water I used.

Now don't get me wrong. The frags are GREAT! Absolutely lovely, all opened up. They all look great, except the one I accidentally destroyed scraping the algae off.

So their frags appear to be really, really nice. But IMO sending frags with algae is bad form. For what frags cost, they should not be the source of introducing pests (be it animal or plant) into a tank. Or maybe that's just the newbie in me... expecting too much. But I have bought a lot of frags this year, and this was a first.

[scolley]

Oh... I did forget to mention. The acan frag I got was particularly fabulous. For the price, it was unbelievable. Maybe it's worth a small algae compromise. :)

[tank o tang]

Thanks to you guys and midwest frags for everything going so smooth. Glad everyone likes their frags. When they get the frags back in that I am waiting for I will post a thread to see who wants in on another order.

[robertzoa]

Half of my stuff that I got from the order arent looking so good, this is how they came right out of the bag.

Robert, take that frag out of the tank and remove the bubble algae as soon as you can. Carefully lift it with a knife/tweezers and then use a brush to scrub the surface really well. Trust me, you don't want bubble algae in your tank!

+1 on the bubble algae. Also, I think that second frag maybe showing signs of the zoa pox. Is that yellow spot supposed to be like that? If not maybe do the Furan dips just in case.

[robertzoa]

i just removed the bubble algae... and its 1 am right now and... it looks like i wont be around at all tomorrow.... i have my sunday planned out...
do i have to dip ever piece i have in the tank?
