Anyone else getting the Box O' Crap?

[GeoHawk]

ROFL, I just found this thread after getting home from school and it has been the best entertainment for me all day. First it was whats a box of crap to everyone ordering them, then to giving them abbreviations of BOC. I would order one if I wasn't a poor college student

Keep the posts coming I love it!

very nice. It seems like alot of seios are going out this year

My box was destroyed in shipping. It had about 12lbs of DI resin in it that was spilled everywhere. Champion has great customer service is all i can say

I ordered two last weekend. Last year two people in my local reef club got Neptun ACIII controllers complete with probes, but I was less fortunate. I only got a couple VHO bulbs, parts for a Prism skimmer, and assorted freshwater additives... none of which I had any use for.

Actually i was only able to salvage about 2 pounds. My box was destroyed in transit and the bags ripped and that crap got everywhere. It got all over my entrway of the house and i even had it in my hair.

It was 3 different bags. 2 had ani and 1 had the cati

Got my two boxes of crap in today and it seems that the hot items this year are definitely the SEIO pumps and PC bulbs. Here's what I got:

What is the utility pump?

What is the utility pump?

It's a Sea Line and says it can be used in-line or submersible. It's rated @ 430 GPH with a max head of 7.59 ft @ 50w. I'll probably just use it to pump water out of my mixing station into the 5 gallon jugs I use for water changes. I found it online for $50 and the SEIO sells on MD for $42, so I definitely got my money's worth.

i got my replacement box, after my first one was crushed. not too bad. I could use the cap 3000 because i am running a cap 2200 as my return right now. also not pictured was a moonlight that i had to put on my tank right away

Thats awsome they replaced the crushed box! Mine are on way to my house now, so will post what I get when I get hone from work.

I didnt even ask for a replacement. The damage was definitely caused during shipping as the box was all smashed. When i called to find out how to make a claim against the shipper, they said dont worry about it and they would get me another box out right away. My business will definitely stay with champion. even if i did get a box of crap hehe
