I still start a new thread later after the technical issues are solved.

Hey guys.

When you click on the individual section, zoas/rics/SPS/exhchanged, there is a "subscribe" button on the TOP,

There is a "subscribe" button at the top.

You will need to subscribe for the 4 various sections to receive new post notification on your email.

This way, we do not need to create another thread for this purpose. Will this work for you guys?

Sorry, pls ignore earlier post.

To subscribe to the entire SRC FxC Gallery, just click "subscribe" after you have entered the FxC Gallery Album.

See pics.

You will then get email notification on new pics uploaded for all catergories.

If you are selective about the categories, then click the "subscribe" button that is within that category itself.

Hey guys, I am still having issues with my account.

Will take a break till Larry resolve my viewing problem.

Kinda exasperating when the "view new post" function does not work.

Meanwhile I will work on the contact list.

Happy Reefing!

cheers

so nice the corals... made me drool......lol

Peter has explored importing in corals before but I think due to licensing and some other issues like DOAs, I think he decided not to.

Maybe let Peter touch on this after he is back from reservist.

More on DOA incidents, Recently Iwarna brought in some US zoas and all melted. So I am not sure if we want to be so ambitious and start something like that.

For rics, I know Reborn has some shipment coming in this Friday and our dear TC king Peter also bring dozens in soon in probably April.

So my personal opinion is to go for these instead rather than bring in on our own.

what do you think?

Hello...I'm not the TC KING lah... You are the TC King...

Anyway, it's very troublesome to bring in corals by yourself. In Singapore, applying for the import permit and cites permit is not that difficult but the most troublesome part is DOA. For rics, DOA can range from 1% to 99% and basically most of the online suppliers will not take responsibility for DOA meaning if you get 50% DOA, you are screwed. Secondly, because they are online suppliers, you really do not know what quality of rics they will send to you. Sure, you can order based on type as seen on the ricordeausa website but if they send you all green rics, what can you do?

Well, if anyone wants to try bringing in rics or other corals yourself, you are welcome to try but I would still prefer to get the corals from our LFSes.

Hi Macro

sorry I missed out your post.

yeah PM me your mobile pls.

I will include yours and Steven's and Mit's once Larry sorted out my account.

I have bugging him with too many things lately...Paiseh.....

So bear with me a little.

Jacky

[jackywongto]

been thinking about it... should we leave the members numbers open or cap at a number?

how big should the grp be ? in general the more the better cause we will have more frags to trade.

but when shipment comes in, it will be very difficult to co-ordinate.

Imagine liasing with 30 people via SMS. The rics co-ordination among 5 persons were already very tedious.

thoughts? I need input on this please.

hmm, why not we all add one another's MSN Messenger account, and can coordinate thru msn too. Can also do group chat via msn...

IMO, we should keep the group at a manageable size for the time being. This is just a start, where everyone gets excited and all, but we do not know how it'll work out as time passes. Let things settle down for awhile before we decide to grow the group. Meanwhile, we should set some limits or rules to safeguard the group's interest (ie. people who request for bulk orders but no show at the end, etc). Its a blessing that we have some really nice reefers in our group that are willing to go the extra mile, and I would hate to see them getting taken advantage of. I'm not saying that it has happened or will happen, but its good that in the event it does happen, we know how to deal with it. What do you guys think?

Jacky, really appreciate all the effort in organizing and making things happen.

I think for bulk orders should KIV for the time being. Just concentrate on sharing of frags, trading of frags etc.

wahahahaha ok for me i just pick and go lol , yours was the headache 1

[stevenkoh08]

oh okhope everything will be going fine

[markietan]

just read through the whole thread.. i must say this is quite an interesting idea.

here's my challenge for the club members.. see if you can limit your frags for trade to corals that you have propagated yourself. since rics n zoas grow really well under the right conditions, I think this is definitely possible and would help the sustainability of our beloved hobby.

also since its called the frags exchange club, limit it to just frags exchange and remove the bulk purchasing idea. as you mentioned, as the group grows it'll be impossible to coordinate bulk purchasing.

would love to join the club but am currently too busy with work so won't be able to contribute much.. but when i'm 'back', will definitely apply for membership. hehe good luck!
