Etrc club zoa's and paly's now available!!!

Okay, so according to my little chart that helps me figure out what's what, the Rose Nebula is the one that had some Cyano issue (covered in it). I cleaned it up good a few days ago (or maybe it was a week, not sure) and they haven't melted but they still aren't opened yet. There are only two little polyps but to be honest I don't know that I have seen these opened yet.

That looks to be them. Those things hated getting fragged, after each cutting it took forever for them to recover.

I think he's talking about the second frag plug

Yep.

Yeah sorry, hard to get a good shot of them using the iphone with all the pumps still on; it was the one behind the twilight V2's. Hopefully it will pull a comeback soon as I Googled them and man those are some sweetness. I shoould be able to grab the frag saw on Wednesday or Thursday (may be going to play poker in Cherokee on Wed). As soon as i get it back up and going I plan on chopping up everything that is fraggable including the new stuff from Cherry!

Okay, so I fragged up all of the Cherry Corals stuff last night. I hope I didn't butcher anything but this was my first time using the saw, but practice makes perfect. I cut 1 polyp of the Mandarin Oranges, 2 polyps of the Salted Agaves, 1 or 2 of the Super Saiyen (can't remember exactly), cut the Habanero and Welcome to Paradise into 4 frags, and split the Highlighter 2.0 into 2 frags with 2 polyps a piece (more on this in a moment). I plan on splitting one of the 2 polyps frags of the highlighter 2.0 into single polyp frags, but after cutting it the first time it was difficult to see my cutting line; so I want it to heal/fluff back up a hair before I take the saw to it again as I would rather not lose any of it. The other frags should be healed up and ready to go in the next week or two. Also we have one polyp of the Panther Chameleon that is ready to go and I should be able to get another one in the next week or two I think. I believe Justin was planning on holding a raffle for interested parties on the newly available stuff (that are paid up on their dues). I definitely want to put myself in for that raffle for the Habenero and the panther Chameleon (if I don't win I can always wait, so I won't be disappointed either way).

I will list the details in another thread and then post the link.

So we have to pay to check them out and then return them....or what? If thats a price to buy and keep....I will take the agaves...or enter drawing for them if thats what we have to do.

Nothing has changed, from the original format of the library. You pay $20 for 1 polyp of the blue agaves, you have it for 90 days, at the end of that time you return the one polyp and keep what you've grown.

The older stuff is the only stuff that is currently for purchase, not rental. That is probably where the confusion lies. As Justin said though, the new stuff is for "checkout" with a return needed of one polyp. If you grow out 12 in your checkout period, you still only have to return one polyp back to the library. This will help us ensure that everyone will get a shot at the various species eventually. Thanks

 

[Rmorales13]

So is the older stuff ready to be picked up if I'm interested? Thanks!

 

[Spongie]

So the new club frags are ready for pickup! If you won in the drawing pm me or text me (if you need the number, let me know in pm). Thanks guys!

 

[Spongie]

I am available for pickup tonight (Wed the 28th), tomorrow (29th), and Friday (the 30th); preferably between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00pm.
