I hooked Tim up with a Carolina Reefers Community, NJ chapter, giveaway.
He won! :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Naturally. But what'd he get?

Minnow has arrived! No time tonight but hopefully tomorrow afternoon or Saturday I'll have some time to get I hooked up (probably Saturday after the X4 arrives).

Looking good! I'm excited. Tagging along on this ride!

Also got some @Reef By Steele today! Pods are already in the sump warming up for release tonight.

Minnow is installed on the Collective.

X4 is supposed to be here Saturday. Once the WaveEngine gets here I'm going to figure out some DIY controller board with some black furniture grade plywood we have in the garage.

So I've got a package coming from Lauderhill, Florida that I'm not sure what it is. 1.7 pounds. Could be the Polo Reef Swag pack but I thought Polo Reef was in New York?

Alright! Took me a minute or two of messing with settings but I have my water level sensor installed in the (temporary) ATO reservoir and it shuts off the ATO and sends me a push notification when the reservoir gets below the safe running level for my ATO pump. I think I'm going to save up for one of the triple optical sensors and have it notify me at one level, then shut off at the second level and beep really annoyingly at the third level.

Nevermind, doesn't work that way

I'd hate to send you Strats just for them to die in shipping.

I thought you meant Fenders...as in the guitar...

 

[TangerineSpeedo]

I have some old Hydros stuff I don't want/need... I'll trade you for some strats hah

Strats are pretty much worthless now... I think they have almost become a pest of the Zoa world... Even I have one (or more) that likes to play hide and seek in my frag tank... :rolleyes: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Nope, I only have 1 of those and it's not a Strat.

That is one of my beefs with them. You order something and will have no clue when it ships or is arriving. That and how they do there points. Although lately @Bulk Reef Supply is just as bad. Ordered something Wednesday eve and it didn't ship out until the following Monday. The order before that, it took eight days to arrive. It used to take 2-3 days.

It really seems like shipping is bad these days. I know it was a private seller but I ordered a gift for my wife off of eBay and even paid for 2 days shipping on it. The seller apparently listed the item then went out of the country for a month... It didn't ship for a full 3 weeks after I paid for it and then they put it in a USPS Media envelope and sent it extra snail mail. When it finally arrived and I sent notification to the seller and to eBay that I paid for 2 days shipping, not 2 months, the seller told me she had to purchase the envelope to send it so the shipping cost I paid barely even covered that...

I used to like ordering from saltwateraquarium.com because one of their warehouse locations is (or at least was) in Arizona, I think its Gilbert but I could be mis-remembering. Anyway I would get many items the next day or two days at the most but the last few times I ordered from them everything came from PA and took well over a week. I try not to order from BRS because they have their $1.99 'get-it-this-year tax that artificially delays your shipment unless you belly up the extra buck-ninety-nine. Totally tees me off.

I just placed a small dry-goods order with Premium Aquatics last night and got the shipping notification this morning. We'll see.

Yeah, my last delivery came from Arizona, the one prior came from somewhere else - maybe Chicago but I forget, it could have been PA. This one is coming from PA.

I think I saw Scottsdale is the Arizona location when I was looking the other day.
