My dads a rare breed, single, and works 7 days a week. And a majority of his customers are winterizes, which only take 2 hours. My point was customer service tho, there’s no way he meets his deadlines but , always has repeat customers because of how he handles it.
my email was very simple, asked for an updated, as it’s been 4 weeks since order, and was giving a 4 week deadline.
That email was 2 weeks ago. Everything I’ve read, and heard, was he’s the best. It just seems odd to me, that he has given me no updates, no emails saying he’s late, or delayed. Nothing. I have a tank that’s been sitting well set up for 6+ months, but don’t want to add corals till I have my reactor. I don’t know, I think I have a right to be a little annoyed. It’s a lot of money to spend on something, with barely a response for an update on when, or if it’s coming.
He sure is man thats awesome.
I don‘t know man I’d seriously just wait it out, I’m sure the wait is gonna be worth it. Even with the tank set up for that long you could have been adding coral not having a reactor isn’t gonna kill off coral by any means, you’d have to have very large colonies or quantities for it to cause a problem. Or have some massive clams for that matter. Regular 2 week water changes or even once a month and maybe add a little calcium and magnesium those 2 bottles would last a long tIve. I feel you on the money part I spent probably 1600 more on my filter than I originally planned I always just built my own from other tanks. I just wanted all this to match and look nice since I’ll have an entire room for the filtration/ tank since its gonna be in the wall.
I’m going SPS dominant, I’m also not home for 2 weeks at a time, so I very rarely do water changes. I just want to have everything in place, before going forwards with corals. I’ve never had success with them, until my last tank, with a calcium reactor. I’m probably close to 5k in this tank already. That’s scary to think. Lol
It’s not keeping sos, my previous tank had over 60 frags that grew to mini colonies. I just know what works for me, and won’t add corals with out a reactor. My Alk consumption alone from cola line is .5 DKH a day.If you want to practice for SPS then start keeping records. Nobody ever talks about this but it is vitally important. Test and write things down.
Typically what kills SPS is what you did 2 weeks ago.
You can also practice by just tossing 20 bills out the window on your drive home from work.
Deltec twintech is far the best aroundSo, long story short, ordered a calcium reactor, been way over the 4 week deadline, very rude response when I asked for an update. Still no calcium reactor. Spent $600 on nothing it seems.
Any alternatives to a geos calcium reactor? I get things take time, but don’t give a 4 week deadline, then get mad when the customer asks for an update. My tank needs it before I start adding corals...
You are 100% correct, my tank calms my PTSD, and anxiety. That’s why I have it. I don’t care about the money, or making money from it. That’s why my jobs for.
I figured that out, I’m just confused why it says 16over all Height. Maybe I’m thinking to much into it, but when it’s described as something, regardless of name, that’s what a customer expects. And the 618 says it’s 22 inches, so I’m wondering where the 4 inches is going on the reactors.The name 612 means 6" diameter and 12" height
