What has been your biggest coral order?

Daniel@R2R · Oct 29, 2019

How many frags have you purchased at once? I think I'm probably at about 25 for a single purchase... How about you guys? And was it online or in person?

Not my biggest, but here's an order I got from a Fraghouse Corals live sale a while back.

I’m not telling you!

My wife might be reading, and bare in mind my new tank is currently empty so I may well break the R2R record any time soon whatever it is! Lol

Crabs McJones · Oct 29, 2019

Lol nice try Daniel. You've been talking to my wife haven't you.

In all honesty I've never placed a "large" order. Most of my stuff is only one or two corals at a time.

I'm a cheapskate. I don't know if I've ever even spent $200 on a single coral purchase!

Always One at a time ...

I've never placed a large order. I want a coral or two from many different sources.

Years ago when corals were sold as colonies (not frags), my order was large enough that I flew to LA from NY to hand pick and fly back with 2 coolers full of coral. Was able to buy from wholesalers and retailers.

I've only done two orders so far and both times I've gotten 3 frags. I think 3 would be the least I would order unless one piece really spoke to me. I also only have a nano though so I also don't see myself doing more than 6 in a order. Curious how other nano people order!

Billldg · Oct 29, 2019

My first live sale a couple of years ago, 16 frags from WWC.

Bassmaster116 · Oct 29, 2019

7 from a WWC sale here on R2R.

DeepintheReef · Oct 29, 2019

I have 30 coming in from two different vendors tomorrow.

vangvace · Oct 29, 2019

An awesome Battlebox

Hallowhead · Oct 29, 2019

I think this passed cherry corals sale was my biggest... ~$300 dollars worth... however, I won't a $100 dollar gift card to spend. Would have spent that either way though

saltyhog · Oct 29, 2019

Y'all are making me feel a lot better. My largest was a couple of months ago when I spent about $350 on 4 frags from Battle Corals....and got two awesome freebies as well.

Iván Olalla · Oct 29, 2019

Here in México we´ve facebook groups live auctions, i usually buy from two vendors and ask them to hold my frags until the shipping is worth it....story short some months ago i received on a single cooler about 18 frags that i won on auctions from the same vendor and other 5 that i bought from his site and 3 that were freebies...
