Can I reserve a chunk of Chaeto? I could come by this weekend; I'm in Mastic Beach.
I've been trying to get a decent number of mini brittle stars for a while. Like you, my basic philosophy is "everything that goes in gets 'et," but getting a hold of these little guys has been a PITA.

Stock update..
Geezus I hope not, ive been touching the stuff for months as i make frags and my brains pretty a-ok (for the most part :biglaugh
. Any toxins released into my system as a result of all the trimming was a concern, but after reading up on it and getting advice from LFSs, im pretty confident all will be good. The 2 harvests didnt cause any kind of spike in my system, but just in case I had fresh ChemiPure Elite sandwiched beteen two polyfilters. Took many weeks for the polys to turn any color and it was the typical yellowish ..indicating normal nutrient absorbtion.
So no worries on that man.
BTW I had quite a few people come by yesterday and today for fresh portions and the Cheato is a lil over half gone. The premade Xenia frags were bought up too but theres plenty more and Ill be cutting low on the trunks, Iodine dipping for an hour and mouting them up. So plenty more healed up frags will be ready by weekend. However if you wanna head over here before then, Ive had no problem so far giving out fresh cut stalks with some drops of my Lugols in the transport bucket. Theres been about 8-9 people that have bought them this way and I was happy to hear the Xenia is healthy and pulsing away a week or two after the sale.
I still plan to make a drive out there. Once I can replenish what everyones been coming here to pick up. I want to make sure I head out there with enough hearty portions for everyone. Theres actually a chance a member will come by to pick up some for everyone in NYC.
We'll see how this week plays out. Thanks again all, for the interest. Look forward to meeting everyone whatever way we wind up connecting.
Happy Reefing,

I can definetely garuntee you plenty mini stars. They literally line the mud floor basically overlapping on one another. they used to be all over the Cheato but now most have moved to the floor and the other macro. The Large Amphipods and Stomatella Snails are within the matrix of the Cheato, Stomas also all over the glass. There are other fuge critters in there but another noteable species are the TiggerPods that swarm just above the mini brittle strewn floor. So with every fuge pack ive been selling ive been making sure to siphon up the lil Tiggers to use as transport water, keeping the Cheato and everything else submerged.
If ya make the trip over here, youll get plenty of mini brittles. I just cant really say when Ill be gettin in there with so many just making the drive here. In time though everyone who asked will get sometime, one way or another.
Happy Reefin..

To all ive missed this time around, im sorry I couldnt get you some. A few days before the 13th, when I planned to head out, my last portion was bought :-/
No worries though, im hoping 2 weeks from now Ill have a dozen or so portions to sell. Almost everyones been buying double portions for $25. If I head out to deliver i guess ill just raise the cost to $30 for large double portion. The Xenia Frags will still be $5 each and I still have plenty of those left. About 8-10 of them are mounted and healed so youre welcome to them.
Ive made a reserve list that now has 4 people on it. If you want a piece of the next action, pls PM me.
Again just to recap. $25 flat fee for the critter loaded large portion, $5 for each PomPom Frag. If you really think about the value of this fuge starter pack, its ridiculously cheap. Like i said if you were to spend all the money on the fuge life my Cheato is seeded with it would cost well over $100 with overnight shipping. And thats not including the large Amphipod colony and Mini Brittles Ive cultured. All of these are garunteed with every portion. So save yourself a heck of alot of money and get one of my fresh all-in-one 'Fuge kits
Happy Reefing all and remember to send a PM if you want on the reserve list.

I still have yours reserved 4 you bro. Its just kinda hard to drive all that way to deliver it. But its here if you ever find yourself out this way or wanna make the trip. Im about 40 minutes from Cross Island Parkway but if you wanna meet at exit 60 or so i could do that. I think ya should just come by and talk-tanks for a spell

I was the first to post in the thread - please reserve a bag for me next time.

BigYank you are also welcome to come for a bag. I have to admit its been harder than i thought to keep this lil thing organized. Either more time need to be devoted or I have to simplify it some.
please understand its hard to turn away people wishing to come here and buy when the alternative is to make the drive myself. Id love it if everyone could benefit from my stuff but there just wasnt enough to go around. :-/
JCS yep you are definetely one of the 4 on the reserve list next time around
Will update the thread as soon as another sizeable batch is ready.

Just a friendly update to all interested. Looks as though im about 1/3 of the way towards another big harvest. The density of pods in there is ridiculous though. Those things i couldnt even put a dent in with the last yield. swimming kinds, crawling kinds, big predatory amphipods etc..
Its just a matter of getting enough Cheato to grow.
Will be in touch, thanks for the interest and Happy Reefing to all,
