WWC shipment arrived this morning. Corals are opening all ready and look
Very healthy. But I’m not going to lie I am very disappointed with this purchase it said on the website there was 5-6 polyps on the AOI frag and there is only 2. I would not have spent 150 on 2 polyps. And the color is very dull. I know it’s white lights and they have just been on a plane but I’m still very disappointed. And the water was way to hot for corals in the bags at least 80-90 degrees. I’m no expert but IMO it would have been better to ship without a heat pack. Even on my packi go slip it shows the frag with 5 polyps

Yeah I called them, they had me send a picture via email. And the rastas I know were expensive but can’t find them locally and they are one of my favorites and needed the extra money for free shipping lol

How many polyps per frag is unacceptable and false advertising for sure.

The color however may need time to “color up”. I had some shipped to me and they took a good 3 weeks to really start coloring up.

edit: (removed sentence) I said what you said due to me miss reading lol.

Glad they lived though! That’s a win. Hope they compensate you for the mishap of giving you less coral than you paid for.

I ordered a Kessil A80 blue w gooseneck clamp. Also a tunze nano ato. Looking forward to it arriving on Tuesday. Did a 4 gallon water change this morning. Switched salt to Red Sea Coral Pro. Calcium 450, mag 1300, alk 9, salt 1.025 p.h 8.0. My tank water looks super clear, I’m guessing it’s the new salt? I’m also thinking about getting the upgraded media basket, and the fuge basket for chamber 2. Here is a picture ( I love how they swim together)

I got both InTank setups I LOVE them. Not sure if your running a corallife skimmer. If I remember right your not. But they don’t work with the setup. The micro bubbles will fill the DT. I emailed corallife, and they said it’s a known issue. They said they didn’t make it for the InTank setup, it was made for the stock Biocube.

Just FYI

Yeah I started my tank up again after sitting for 10 years a few months ago with the same live rock that I had in it the first time I just kept adding rodi water to it ! Took the live rock out washed it then kept doing water changes until I got my # good and restarted the tank I seeded the rock with pieces from the LFS!!

Ah yeah I am running the coralife skimmer. So I would also need a new skimmer if I went that route

Yea.... hopefully it works for you. But you might end up tossing it. I literally gave it away for free, it was unusable, like bad bad micro bubbles. Looked like I filled my tank full of soda lol.

I now run my tank with no skimmer, but now it has a refug, which is benefiting me more.

Here’s the email so you know I am not blowing smoke.
O wow I haven’t come across that yet did they specify in any previous articles if that’s for older or newer bio cubes it would be interesting to know I have some small bubbles on my rock but I don’t see any coming out of the return into the tank
