Anyone want to order livestock with me?

So do I, I wish i could get my sps to grow that fast, it would be frag central..

 

Reminder: I need all orders or order changes put in by tomorrow afternoon. Brad's change is noted. Ryan, need a count. Anyone else, still time to tack some stuff on. I'm calling to change stuff around first thing in the morning on the 26th, and I work early and can't guarantee I'll be able to check back that morning.

 

(He means Nielsen...;-))

 

Ok. All done. Sorry Ryan as I never heard from you.

 

Sweet. I can't wait.

 

Aside from my Achilles tang being a huge dick to the copperband, all is well.

 

Same here, everything looks good minus 1 crab. Compliments of my lion.Thanks again Ryan

 

oops. I shoulda seen that coming.

 

I think Ryan might be making a call to BlueZoo Monday about losses - I'm on the verge of losing my copperband, but not because of bad shipping or a bad fish, my yellow tang is not at all fond of the butterfly and he's beating the garbage out of him. So the Copperband has been deemed Master of the Refugium for the time being, who would have guessed that the vapid Yellow Tang would actually be a complete Dbag?

How is yours faring with your yellows, Wayne? And have you gotten him to eat any prepared foods? Both mine and Ryan's get excited when it's dumped in, but seem completely confused and don't actually try to eat any of it, luckily we both have a mess of pods and we're growing out some brine - let me know if anything has worked for you so far, I'm curious.

Happy New Year in advance, guys, have an awesome one

Rachel , i lost my copperband yesterday due to powerhead, i think next time i will order a medium one, the yellow tangs all swim together and even let the copperband swim with them too. As far as feeding goes i have had nothing eat. I tried everything, only thing they have touched is hair algae. Have a safe New Years Eve too.....

 

Brad lost 3 clowns. I lost 3 out of my four firefish (the three small ones, you might remember phil). I emailed them about replacing on the next order and got a "sure, just send a picture of each dead fish and we'll credit you." I'm going to re-email and let them know that I will not be ordering from them ever again, and will stress the high casualty rate to everyone I speak to, if nothing better can be worked out.

 

Was Ryan going to call them or not? It doesn't matter, i dont know if the CB was dying or what i just found him sucked against it. I think all of my fish were healthy, i think the CB was to small for my tank. But if they want to credit us then perfect.

 

I think I have to second Phil about the guarantee thing....it does say that, it's really our own fault for not having read the "rules". I lost a cucumber for really no reason at all -- and from what I've heard almost all the casualties have happened because of a toss-up between weak stock and (our own) poor handling, I'll suck up the money lost on the cucumber and chalk it up to not having read the guarantee. If they choose to give in and credit the stock, so be it, but I don't think they owe it to us and I certainly don't think we should bad mouth them, at least not from our experience to this point.

That said, maybe LA is a better bet just because we have heard/have had better experience on all fronts with them. Though, boy, their prices are steep compared. And now we know the guarantee...

PS Phil - If your water params are good and you don't keep your salinity abnormally high/low, maybe just temp acclimate the shrimp and dump 'em in, that's what I've always done and the two I got from bluezoo are still kickin.....speaking of.....

Ryan #3, did your skunk shrimp out of my refugium make it? He looked great when I bagged him, but I can't help but think that being acclimated twice in two days might do in the best of them...?
