Can someone help me out, just in case I might want to do this in the future. I’m not sure what went on with this group buy. I thought it had something to do with a “grow out.” And then I see that everyone is paying something like $240…..times something like 10 people…to buy coral???? So $2400 worth or coral??? Am I missing something? Could someone help me out just in case I want to do this in the future.

Paul. Essentially. In lieu of buying sps frags and have to wait. We are buying full colonies from direct shippers and frag it up 11 ways. Hopefully we end up with 10 mini sized colonies each

Were looking at abt 18-20 colonies split 11 ways. Everyone will get a frag/mini colony from each colony I bring in. So figure 20 "frags" of Australia's finest split 11 ways that's abt 12$ a frag. Where have you ever seen that? Lol man that mainland is great. Haha

That's a risk taken with trans shipments. But in all the shipments ive done from Australia ive only lost 1 colony. In the shipments from Bali or Jakarta I loose abt 5-10% they just don't put as much water which isn't always bad bc you pay for weight in freight. But with delicate sps sometimes its better to pay more for the extra water. Ausi stuff tends to ship better and a higher quality(hence the overall higher cost at retailers) but at a higher price. The shipments are insured Incase of delay or lost for value of shipment.

Last call for the order was April 4th so shipment will be soon after once they collect and box. So end of this coming week. Or early following

Wow missed a bit of chatter today. The wife had me running around most the day getting ready for tomorrow. I really can't wait for this. I've pretty much been talking about it nonstop to my wife for a couple of weeks now. She's had enough.
 
I am looking forward as well. Even with a small loss in shipment the number of frags is great. If all goes well, a lot more will want to do this again.
 
Dibs x2 lol kevin. Lol. Got everything I need today to tie in a 40B frag tank to my system. Going to have a bit of room left open for any of the group buy team if needed. Are they here yet? Are they here yet? Lol.
 
Mike posted a few back that the last call will be April 4th. After that they need to collect, box, and ship.
