Why You Should ALWAYS Check Your Delivery Before The Trucker Leaves

UPDATE:
Cycling SCA 150 since mid July on bottled ammonia and couple of bags of Matrix from my existing tank
As it stands the ammonia is high and I’m going base rock only.
Taking my time
No additives at this point.
Keeping lights off(just turned on for pic)
No hurry

Tank finally has fish!
Im so happy with my newly acquired CBB.
I was at Top Shelf Aquatics a couple weeks ago and got to talking with a fellow reefer.
The attendant squirted some Mysis in the tanks and the Copperbands starting eating!
It blew my mind and I grabbed one immediately.
So far he’s eating frozen Mysis and occasionally picks at Rogger’s Reef Food
Trying a variety of foods to see if He’ll go for them but Picky is putting it mildly!
Anyway he eats Mysis out of my fingers and that’s awesome!

Doing Hypo in that tank right now.
Im at 1.009 since Sunday and ATO is maintaining it.
Im pretty sure I have flukes on my Powder Brown, Scopas, and Lamarck.
I gave them all fresh water dips prior to putting them in but I see the occasional rub on the rocks.
Im in no hurry.

Just got off the phone with Kessil.
Had to reprogram the AP700’s again
They were doing their own thing with start and end times.
Any way it seems that the tech really knew his thing.
Very polite and friendly. Hats off to Mason!
Lights seem to be working correctly
Time will tell.

I attached my seneye to a grabber fror Dollar Tree. I gutted the thing. It had metal spring and wire inside. I then attached the Seneye with zip ties. Just did it yesterday. My point to this is the Seneye needs to be held at perfectly straight angle when reading PAR otherwise you get all kinds of wacky values.

Top Shelf closed tonight in 28 minutes and I was still a 29 minute drive away— so I had to abort the mission! Congrats on your CBB... I’ve never bought an unhealthy fish from Top Shelf!

Thats awesome to hear. I wish I could say the same about other local vendor. I purchased seven fish from a vendor and lost 6 in 5 days a couple months ago. The worse part was when I called they made me feel as if it were my fault. Luckily I quarantined so I ended up tearing down the quarantine tank and soaked all in vinegar and or bleach.

I'll take pics of my arm later. It's pretty bad! But it works. It allows me to keep the sensor upward with out having to hand hold it.
I am off to sleep. Have a good night!
