Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I think the St Thomas are killer shrooms, but from me to you. I was totally dissatisfied with my coral shipment from coral monsters. The shrooms, I am struggling to keep alive, the Favia "frags" came in huge, the size of a coffee cup top. but half of them were dead. I might can save the red favia coral they sent me, But they (coral monsters) are on the bottom of the list of places to buy coral
Good to know I’d been contemplating buying a few from them. Cross off the list then.
 
Ooooh I like Hardee’s breakfast hash round Mmmm! 😋
I have never had Hardees breakfast food just lunch and dinner. Paul and I’s favorite is the Swiss mushroom burger, mmmmmm! I worked one summer in high school and I don’t recall them serving breakfast back then.

Swiss mushroom burger Mmmm ! 😋 but I don’t think Paul would like it too much . And yes they do have breakfast at all the ones in Orlando .
 
I here they were in bankruptcy
I think Hardees bought those and left some open and bought the Burger Chef’s and made them into Hardees. Our Hardees was previously a Burger Chef.
 
Send it back !
but its basically dead, i will text tomorrow and fill them in, they knew, but sent it anyway. I don't expect much from someone who would ship what I received

Did you take pics? If they have a doa policy I’d hope that they’d honor it. Honestly though if you paid with credit maybe go that route and get reimbursed?
 
By the way, I posted this in the dumbest thing you’ve done thread. It really was what the thread title says.

So it was definitely dumb. Funny in retrospect I guess because I didn’t die. I was moving into a larger tank so I put all my rocks and livestock in a few tubs with heaters and pumps. What I didn’t realize was that one of the heaters(used) had a short. When I put my hand in the tub to move things over I got that weird pulse of electricity. Pull my hand out and because I was being an idiot put my hand in again. Luckily I didn’t get electrocuted. Pulled the plug immediately after that. I did lose several corals that were closest to the heater but overall got lucky there as well.​

I should have waited, their website posted pic's of alot of corals and fish. But as soon as the giveaway ended, nothing. I should have held out for a few weeks to see if they put it back online. I will be sending correspondence with them shortly. I would be happy just to get the $100 gift card back with no expiration on it.

I agree with Steve to text them pics with what happen . Did they have a doa policy?
