Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
hopefully you have a heated place if you are storing first. but I think you said you were going straight in to a first floor. I was told not to let the silicone freeze.

Yeah I am really hoping they will just roll it into my unit. Unless they drop it in the middle of the parking lot I should be okay. I do have a heater on my AC unit but last time I turned it on my smoke alarm started going off likely from burning dust (as you can tell I do not use it often lol).

I mean I am suppose to inspect and sign off on the delivery so I am definitely not signing off on it if its in the middle of the parking lot. There is a ramp up to the sidewalk and its suppose to be an in garage delivery so it should be okay.

yeah, they don't want to wait either. but trying to uncrate that to check is not easy. I was only able to get the top off and check. felt like I needed more than a crowbar.
 
Same here. I have a big order coming from them on Wednesday
Ya, I will be utilizing them a lot. I was on a thread a week or two and were discussing Corals.Com and I mentioned how close I was and what a shame they don’t have in store shopping or curbside pickup. Corals.Com popped in and told me that they do now have curbside pickup. No more shipping cost!

I just tend to always spend more than $200 with them so I get free shipping which isn't hard to do... 😆

was just about to post the $200 free ship. I think the key is no overnight in freezing temps for at least one of us!
 
Good morning, all!

Hope you all have a stellar Sunday unless, of course, you've made other plans.
Good morning Chris! Just resting today, it’s exhausting being pampered and showered with gifts all day. I’m glad it’s only once a year!

Good morning Luis! Looks like beach weather by noon. Bring sunblock, melanoma is no joke! Oh, and one or ten green bottles.
 
thats a yes
I’ve got a picture with it carrying a blue mushroom as well, didn’t take pictures of all the times it was carrying zoas, just thought the emerald claw molt was cool.
 
What did you order? And I'm waiting until a week from Wednesday for mine.
I got a trachy (more meat!) A hideous black sun coral, and a cool monti.
