Ktar Group Buy Thread

[akabryanhall]

Hey Guys,
So ktar recently released a pretty awesome zoa frag pack and I ended up organizing a group buy that filled up very quickly. Just a quick recap, the zoas included were:
1polyp Black Hornet and baby budding

1polyp Jason Fox BloodShot

3polyp Hybrid G-Hornets

3polyp DragonBallZ

4polyp TimeMachines

4polyp Lizzy Fizzy

2polyp CampFires

3polyp Pointsetttas

1polyp Red Halo

1polyp PPRPE

Now onto the headache!!:cry:
Ktar shipped the package yesterday and Fedex had shipping delays in Memphis. Kien had shipped overnight express which should have gotten here by 10:30 this morning. I had to leave for work at 12pm, so I left a note on the door asking the driver to leave the package on the porch. I only work 20 minutes away, so I spent the next several hours refreshing the tracking page. When it got delivered I could rush home.

Well at around 2:15 pm I see a update saying the package was not delivered. Turns out that the driver did not deliver the package. I spent the next 30-40 minutes on the phone with fedex trying to get a hold of someone that could get the driver to turn his azs around. Eventually I got the driver to attempt a re-deliver.
Got home 20 minutes later and yaay!:smile:

I brought the package inside and opened it

Everything was packed well and the 60 hour heat pack was still warm, the water was freezing though, not Kien's fault, I blame el nino, fedex, and somehow I blame my boss as well.:crossedlips:
Individual corals are double bagged and named

I drip acclimated them for about an hour

I had purchased a frag station from a local specifically for this buy

And here they are, hopefully snug as a bug in water

I will try to update this thread as often as possible with better non-cellphone pics.

BTW I noticed 3 new baby's on your frag, it's healing up nicely!

 

[akabryanhall]

Sweet! Your Tutti Frutti's are healed up as well, judging by what happened with this shipment, I'm glad we are waiting till next week.

The pack was $700, I did the math and if you were to buy them individually it would cost around $1000.

 

[clowns101]

This better not take a few years,hahaha!

 

[akabryanhall]

Not yet, I asked my wife if the black hornets had opened yet, and she said no. I'll be biting my nails for a bit.

 

[akabryanhall]

Thanks man!! I know you have great taste in corals, so the compliment to our group means that much more!!
