Vivid Aquariums Group Order TAKE 12...the pre-baby order

Recommended Posts

I'm wanting to get in one more Vivid Aquariums group order before my son arrives, and I want some Northern Lights Granulosa so here it goes!

Vivid Aquariums has a great selection of just about everything, including FISH so peruse their website, then place your order keeping in mind the following:

- Order closes, Monday, April 26th, @8am. If I don't have your payment, I drop you from the order. Sorry, deadlines are deadlines.

- Pickup will be @ my house, 8422 Jamestown Dr, 78758 or if we have enough interest, I can coordinate a north/south/central pickup.

- Shipment will arrive Wednesday, April 28th.

- The shipment usually arrives @ 10:30a so if you can schedule breaking away from lunch or working from home, its a great way to get your goods early!

- I have a commitment starting @ 8p on Wednesday (order delivery day) so please make plans to pick up your order before 7:30p on Wednesday

- minimum GROUP total order is $150. So if we don't get enough interest to have a total order value of $150, it won't go

- $225+ qualifies for free shipping, otherwise shipping is a flat $30. After the free shipping discount, they will just charge us $10 for the box. We'll split this charge among everyone involved.

- $350+ gets us a 10% discount EXCLUDING WYSIWYG items or "pack" items - e.g. reef cleaner packs, acro packs.

- Dry goods DO NOT count towards our order total, DO NOT get the 10% off and DO NOT get free shipping.

Payment works as such: I have to order and pay for everything myself. They won't let everyone pay individually then group our orders together (like @ reefcleaners.org). So I'm requesting that everyone either pay cash or paypal directly to me before 8a on Monday, April 26th. Once I get everyone's order, I'll confirm it with them, then send the order off. PLEASE NOTE: If you are paying via paypal, be sure to add 3% for paypal fees OR use the "personal" option. PM me for my paypal addy.

I'll let people chime in with pictures of what they got from vivid in the past. I've had GREAT customer service from them and MORE than generous frags so you won't be disappointed. MAKE SURE you check out their WYSIWYG picks. They are adding new inventory all the time and their stuff looks great!

Looks like with that, we are over the $350 minimum for the 10% off, so bring on the orders for any of you hold outs.

heads up on the linckia...we've lost the 2 that we've ordered. I checked with Vivid and they said they are hard to keep and MUST be acclimated SLOWLY. Your reefkeeping skills are obviously up for it, I just wanted to make sure you knew in advanced.

Bluespotted Red Mushrooms (Discosoma sp.)

Thanks Mark.

ps. Do you have a contact at vivid that can confirm the spotted mushrooms really do look like the photo? If they'll do a WYSIWYG, I'll pay the extra 10%. (Assuming they really do look like the photo.)

Mark, I sent Vivid a mail to confirm these mushrooms really do look awesome.

Thanks for the heads up.... I had heard they are difficult to keep (their website actually says they are easy!). I thought I would give it a try though as I am pretty much done with adding corals.

I bought the Marble Fromia from Vivid several months ago. I was careful to acclimate him very slowly. Upon putting him in the tank he didn't move for a week. Then he started moving slowly (an inch or so a day), now he scoots all over the tank.

The Marble ones are supposed to be much hardier than the red and blue ones, I love the color and patterns on mine so you should give it a shot.

Members have been asking me about WYSIWYG items specifically, if they will hold them for us.

The answer is yes, a long as you pay for them in advance.

So if you want a WYSIWYG item, once you pay me for it, I tell Vivid to hold the item and they mark it as sold on their website.
