My Tank Thread
Hello all,
I ordered several fish - a flame wrasse, sailfin wrasse, gem tang, two moorish idols, a purple firefish, convict tang, darwin clownfish, fire shrimp, and a GBTA.
@HotRocks received the sailfin wrasse, gem tang, and one idol. I, the rest. I will update this thread, perhaps @HotRocks would do so as well.
Let me first say that Matt/TSM were fantastic to deal with. I've spent MUCH time quarantining with some successes but it became clear to me that I was beginning to dislike the hobby because of how much time I spent quarantining, and how much trouble I had. If there was a new strain of something, I found it, every time. Of course, stocking a 500G wall tank and 180G reef meant larger batches of fish to quarantine (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST THIS AS I FAILED HARD ON BIG BATCHES). Me being someone that knows the importance of STRINGENT QT protocols, I was VERY hesitant to jump aboard and entrust my existing inhabitants and future fish with. I researched TSM extensively. I read other reviews.
I couldn't be happier. I will update this thread again as the fish adjust. So far, 5 stars, HIGHLY recommend!

- Fish arrived today all very well packaged, boxed. Heat packs galore. TSM spared no expense getting this fish to us. Very satisfied.
- Fish were all well-fed and appear in great health without any defects
- Fish have already adjusted well to their new homes
- Fish were very reasonably priced, considering all of the work and cost associated with successfully quarantining fish.
I couldn't be happier. I will update this thread again as the fish adjust. So far, 5 stars, HIGHLY recommend!
