I don't know if it matter or if you know but ya got some apitasia kinda everywhere :eek: also, fantastic prices :D
I did everything you can imagine to keep Aiptasia out of my tank, in the end I lost the battle:(
But a couple of peppermint shrimp in the DT and some manual management in the sump and no problem. 2 peppermint shrimp in my 160 DT and I haven't seen any of the little buggers ever since, I'm talking months. There are far worse things to worry about.
If you're really worried about it you could always just ask Tim for fresh cut unmounted frags and see what he'll do for you. But personally I love that he will mount them and let them heal before shipping.

Yes, I usually try my best to send out clean frags. If you see a tiny one I missed on a plug, they are easy to wipe off, as I use smooth ceramic plugs.

Tim, got my most recent order today... excellent packing job, and everything arrived in perfect condition. That Orange Passion and Voodoo Magik are really spectacular... as are all the pieces you've sent. They had great color and PE from the time I started acclimating them to the time I put them in the tank. Obviously healthy and very hardy pieces.
You get my highest recommendation as a seller... top marks! I'll grab some pics when my son gets home (he's got an actual camera) and send them to you :)

Also to update, the Tyree Purple Dragon Eyes is unavailable until further notice. That one didn't like the summer pH/Alk swings caused by air conditioning on hot days :/

Bummer... I know what you mean though. All summer trying to keep the tank a reasonable temperature meant keeping the A/C on constantly and never having the windows open. That drove the CO2 up and pH down. Lucky in my case it never got too bad, maybe because I let my chaeto just grow out. I think I have about a 10 lb wad of the stuff at this point.
The Purple Dragon Eyes frag you sent me is doing great. When it grows out a bit more, if you need a frag back just let me know. ;)

Yeah mine was just up and down over and over due to heat waves followed by cool temps. I lost all my frags and backup colonies but the center of the mother colony is still hanging in there, so hopefully I won't need to take you up on your offer. I very much appreciate it though!
