Pick ups have begun!

Still have not heard back from a large number of you... Please PM when you would like to pick up - Quicker you pick up gives you choice of between more polyps and an extra couple days (up to a week) on the grow out.

Wow... Was it in front of the MP on hurricane mode??? There were getting decent flow in the frag tank and didn't appear to be coming lose. PM coming for replacement conisdering it was only 3hrs and the contest hasn't begun.
 
I will be at Reefwise TONIGHT from 5-6pm meeting with people - I did bring a few extra polyps if others wanted to pick theirs up @ RW - If so, please PM me to verify that I still have enough left and that I don't leave early because I didn't know you were coming.

I also bagged a few frags: Pink Zippers, Pink Hippos, Vivid Rainbows, ASD Blues, AOG, and Cats Eyes available for anyone. PM me if interested.
