DARN! I just put together $1000 to buy the whole colony! :'( I thought there would be a chance to buy the whole thing together....
oh well.

 

[Phyl]

Bwahahaha GH... C'mon, everybody wants a piece! Glad you like it though.

Here are some of the close ups of the pieces that will be for sale:

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

Again, all of these colonies will be broken up into nice size pieces where available. Some of them lend themselves more towards frags. Pricing should be available tomorrow.

 

[concept3]

Pricing for the frags as well as sizes should be up sometime today, sorry for the delay. I'm closing at work a lot this week.....

 

[grasshopper]

Is the base of that moster going to be for sale??

 

[Phyl]

We haven't really thought about selling that part yet. You interested?

 

[grasshopper]

If the price is right, it must have some growth potential. Unless you want to keep it and keep growing frags for club sale. I wouldn't mind hosting the base for that purpose in my tank. No skimming I promise.

 

[Phyl]

GH, we're going to hold onto it for now and see how it heals/grows. If we decide later to put it up for sale we'll let you know.

 

[grasshopper]

Just an idea - but as far as keeping a certain number of frags to grow out and refrag and sell for NJRC income.....

You want to decentralize your frag collection. Not that it would happen (hopefully) but God forbid Merv's tank crashes today while he's at work. All our corals are gone. Whereas, if you can have three or four frag locations for NJRC throughout NJ then if one tank fails, you still have backups. Kinda the same as the premise behind ARPANET for the military. Also, if you can spread out the frag locations across the state, you have more ability to sell as you can deliver or have them picked up closer to people's houses, and eventually also interact will all neighboring states.

Just something I figured I'd throw out there now so it can be planned for later.

 

[Phyl]

We're working on the distribution to protect the investment as well as make pickups easier. We'll at the very least have corals in Jackson and at Mervs and will look into a further north location for some of our *way north* folk.

 

[grasshopper]

Way north???? Do you know how long it would take me to get to Jackson from my house? And I'm still "technically" considered Central Jersey.

 

[Phyl]

Less than an hour and you're even closer to East Brunswick ;-)

 

[grasshopper]

Less than an hour to Jackson! No way. Mapquest puts it at an hour and 45 min.s What does East Brunswick have to do with it? Jackson and AC are the two pickup locations...

 

[Phyl]

I work in EB, we could do pickup here during the work day though that's probably not very convenient for most folks, it is an option (aren't you going to the meeting?!). "Bridgewater" came up as 1hr5m from my house. I guess it all depends on where in Bridgewater and where in Jackson, huh?

Right now those are the only options available to us. We're doing what we can to move things around...

 

[grasshopper]

Sorry Phyl, tone came off wrong after re-reading the post. I wasn't complaining, just adding my $200 dollars again (2 cents just isn't enough).

Once I get in a better place, I already have a 90 gal. RR set aside for a frag tank, so maybe then I could be the northern hookup. Should only be a few more months (hopefully)

 

[Phyl]

;D It's all good, Gh! I've learned to read your posts with a smile on my face. Makes your tone sound better!
