Ever order when not entirely with it?

[Indytraveler83]

Okay,

So I've had a bit too much fun on Memorial day weekend. I have been searching for RFA's and reeftopia has a very good deal on them right now (as well as one free with a $150 or more order)

I had a cart semi-full but was short of the price I needed for free shipping. So I might have added a cherubfish to the order to reach the free shipping.

I have always wanted one, but afraid of it nipping at my mostly softy tank. Anyone else use less than good judgement when buying? Lol.

The past three coral live sales, story of my life.... or maybe the new tank.... prefer to mark all of that down as behind me and irreversible so I can enjoy and stop sweating lol

Reeftopia is great, and I love their rock flowers. It may nip at corals, and will likely be a huge pain to catch. But yes I've definitely just bought extras to reach a price. Nowadays I tend to make sure I'm buying more than just that threshold. Knowing how much shipping actually costs, it's easy to not make anything or lose money shipping a package.

I've seen very little about reeftopia on here, but the 6/$138 deal is phenomenal and they have scarlet hermets BOGO right now. I always wanted a dwarf angel, but better judgement has caused me to steer clear. At $16 I can't go too wrong, even if I have to re-home it, but I'm hoping to get lucky and have one that's either reef friendly, or at least tolerable enough to not murder my lps.

It's my favorite for clean up crew and rock flowers, for how good it is it's weird how more people don't know about it. Hopefully it isn't a monster, seems like they're either totally fine or horrible. Ones I've had have ended up nipping at corals. I've had a couple other dwarves with success though so it's possible

I've never used them before. I've always used reefcleaners for CuC, but my hunt for RFA's lead me to reeftopia. It will be interesting to see.

If I'm lucky the angel will come in rather small, and adjust to my tank as he grows. I feel like the younger they are, the better.

Just ordered the RFA pack, and a couple gorgonians. Thanks for this! I never heard of reeftopia before. Hopefully everything comes in good shape.

I know what you mean though. Next week I have this rfa pack, a divers den order (3 zebra barred dartfish), and a new tunze refugium light coming in. Next weeks gonna be awesome haha!

I did my huge orders a few weeks ago, but never got any rfa's. I just won't pay $50-60 for them. I addition I also got the blue ricordia 4 pack. You'll have to let me know how you feel about yours!

 

[Lizbeli]

Just can’t beat the price! I bought an ultra off ebay for $75 just for the one. Love it, but I won’t do that again. My LFS sells them $40 each no matter the color. If I remember, ill post them once they come in.

I tend to order the green rock flowers the most off of Reeftopia, their picture shows a pretty normal green but they end up looking phenomenal under aquarium lighting.

 

[Lizbeli]

I just received my first order from reeftopia and I am very happy. I was most impressed by the size of the gorgonians! Now I need to get going on the left side of the tank

 

[AcroNem]

I think I need some more rock nems... those are awesome, and those gorgonians look great. Give them lots of flow they should open up nicely.

I do this all the time, not just with aquarium supplies or livestock, some days its like Christmas a my house.

 

[Indytraveler83]

Just got the order in. The rfa's look great, the ricordia looked good and the Scarlet hermits were a really good size. The cherubfish however was tiny, too small for my system as is (maybe 3/4 an inch). He's gonna have to live in the 'fuge for a while to get big enough to tolerate everyone else.
