ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

[tbrown]

So my Tisbe might still have some alive - very hard to tell.

Tigger pods I lost 1 colony but the other appears to be thriving - the one that had lights died, the one with little to no light lived. I took some out of the surviving colony and am hoping to restart the second colony.

Nanno is going crazy thick, crazy dark.

Tetra is surviving but it's not really colonizing - staying really thin. One colony might have crashed, but the other is hanging in there.

Lessons learned: TSA Phyto is not good for starting cultures with, dump it in the tank.

I hope you're able to get the second colony going!

That's what I don't need! I've got multiple frags that keep growing and spreading. What I need is to sell some of these puppies.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Strats on the Smorgasbord... I forgot where I was and what I posted.

Yeah, the Tigs need a second colony for sure!

Sold a Joker. Need to sell some Zoas now.

The sump is down to only 6 of the Jokers and the clowns are hosted by almost all of them. Only one was not on a rock.

You had several people interested in your Zoas in the 00W's thread :D (myself included)

I'm planning on working on shipping. It's just scary and expensive.

LMK if you want me to get a quote for you on FedEx shipping as a test, priority overnight. Are you still in AZ?

Here's an example of a 6x6x6, 4lb box

ya... shipping is rough... I check periodically for rates to send stuff and its insane, even with Shopify shipping discounts.
I did get to see the UPS rate I could get if I were shipping 500 things a week and its an amazing discount. Almost a profit point for some of these overnight shipments if it weren't for the % that don't get delivered on time.

You can sign up on MorphMarket with a free seller account, and I believe you get the benefits of the FedEx shipping like everyone else. They also have an Aquatics side for saltwater (that I check frequently) so you can always post your Zoas over there as well.

I spoke too soon... I knew it was coming soon:

I was explaining to my wife that I had 1 in the DT and 6 left in the sump after the 1 I just sold. Apparently it split last night or this morning. 2 in the DT. :face-with-rolling-eyes: Time to break out the Eagle Steve.

 

[tbrown]

I'm thinking I'll change the resin in my DI - TDS is at 1-2-3 currently and new resin came in yesterday afternoon. I could potentially take some measurements and design/print a resin packer while I have it apart since it's not the "normal" 10" DI resin chamber.

Probably won't get to the second part.

 

[tbrown]

DI resin changed, no measurements were taken. Almost bedtime now so I'll make some water tomorrow.

Shipping scares me too. It’s done all the time,but I have never done it. I suppose if I do it a few times I’d be more comfortable with shipping live animals.

I have a love hate relationship with those darn splitting nems.

I was considering feeding them today for sure. I've got Roids, Coral Cane, Reef Candy, Reef Jerky, and some Coral Fusion. Plus I've got frozen Mysids and fresh Phyto.

Probably not the Roids since phosphates are high already, yeah?

Coral Cane and Phyto plus Mysids is what I was thinking.

Where did u get the frozen mysids from?

 

[tbrown]

Where did u get the frozen mysids from?

Petco. I forget which brand...

 

[tphan]

Petco. I forget which brand...

U posted mysids, i just want to confirm that its mysids not mysis. I scoured all over the internet for a long time and nothing has come up for frozen mysids.

V2O is actual marine mysis instead of freshwater like most frozen
