Still have one opening!!

Anyone interested in starting an acan growout? Cherry Corals has some beauties on the site right now and I figure with 5 people or so we could put in a pretty sick order, thinking $250-300 each. Would be looking for a grower as well as I've already got one going in my setup.

I would definitely be interested. PM me with the details that you were thinking about and let me know how it would work (especially since I am not located in CA).

Okay guys, so here's who I've got down as possibly in. Please send me a PM to confirm if you are 100% in or not then we can get in contact with CC and get some pieces picked out.

Again, thinking 5 people at $300 each, $1500 total.

These are in time stamp order so that's what we'll go by:
luvmyacans
Reef Keeper
Brannock_16
jdreef
Reef Up (poss. grower)
Salty Dog
Beerman (via PM)

I'm going to PM everyone as well.

Any chance you have some of the yellow jackets around still?

Hey luvmyacans, could you please PM me with the details of the grow-out? ie how long will the frags be in the grow-out, what sized frags will the initial investors receive back, how will the initial investors receive their frags, does the cost of the investment include shipping for the frags once grown and matured, is all the money due up front or is there a payment option, etc.

I just really want to make sure this is a pretty safe transaction and deal before I shell out that kind of money.

I would expect that with 5 people we'd end up with 1-2 heads of each acan, it really depends on what we get initially and how long we want the grow out to run. Most grow out just run until the pieces can be cut up and distributed, how long that will take is anyones guess.

Once the grow out is over and the frags have been cut everyone will be responsible for covering shipping from the grower to your location. All $ is due up front, yes.

Nice looking grow out! Looks like I missed out. ;)

I'll be looking for another grow out to buy into this fall, so hopefully there will still be some peeps that are down.

Good luck!

I am pretty sure we were to stupid to save any yellowjackets. We saved Yuki and Highlighters among others but not yellowjackets.

We are going to try to be as generous as possible an provide only what we feel are good growers.
Brett and I are going to go through our secret stash today and see what else we can offer and then report back here.
A pic of the group will be posted here by Sunday or Monday for approval by the group.

Stay tuned....

Sounds good well I have to agree you are not the smartest for not saving any yellowjackets what were you thinking  ;-)
