Fianlly got my package, it's obvious they spent the evening outside. Not frozen but they have to be close, all conatainers steamed up when the packaging/insulation was also very cold. Time will tell. I can't pull Algeabarn into this one, even though they have this policy I wouldn't feel right considering none of this was their fault. The post office did say to speed things up I might want to take a few pics of the dead animals. Lol, ya right!

Nothing like stupid, and I do mean stupid, post office employees... I have had nothing but problems with them recently. Ever since our old driver retired they can't get any thing right. Post master had been notified by more than just us about how incompetent the service has become.

I don't understand why they keep trying to breathe life back into the PO, they have well outlived the need for them. Then to finish my discussion with the postmaster she ended the conversation with "do you need any stamps today"?

I would only loop AlgaeBarn in as they may have an easier way to process a claim with the USPS. I hear what you're saying in it not being their fault but what they probably wind up doing is shipping you replacements and take the claim process off of your hands. I think as the business owners that comes as part of the territory with whichever company they choose to ship with. Its okay to disagree though :)

Oh and makes sure theyre forever stamps or you will not be able to use them next week! ;Woot

Point taken, I will let them know. Thanks for presenting another view.

Finally my clowns are starting to get along better. Smaller one is healed up. He still hangs in the corner though. Figure a little more time and life will be good. It's been a rough road with the maroon aggression.

Looks like my pair except the female stays in the corner and he ventures out. but she will instigate and he turns at her when she does just like yours.

The male is weird, he will go to corner and lay down in the sand like he's taking a power nap. The first time he done it I thought he was dying. Nope, just being weird! He does it all the time. Tomorrow I plan to get a nem in there to change things up a bit. I'm already setting aside 3 hours to the them off of a rock. Yep, 3 hours of my life I'll never get back...:D

I feel the ache from your arms being in an awkward position while rubbing anemone feet already!

Ya two hours last time, hung them above the water for about 1.45 then gently spayed the foot with a syringe for several minutes. They didn't like that!

Did you ever watch @FarmerTy 's video when he took one out and cut it in 1/2? Might want to take a look.

I admit I haven't. I guess I can look for it.

Excellent choice in tank! I have the same tank running as a full reef and half circle

are truly stunning! This has been up now for several years I also found a “new” used tank that had never been wet. Here are some recent pics of mine. Best of luck I will be following along. For lighting I have 2-AP700 Kessil and 2-360’s for the back corners. That too me is the challenge with this tank is getting light on the back corners it’s so deep so adding the 360s took care of that for me.

Wow!!! My half round isn’t this big but I hope it looks this good some say!!

I’d love to see more info on your setup. Do u have a build thread? What kind of powerheads are u using? I can’t seem to get mine placed right that it doesn’t blast the corals in the center of the tank.

Hooked up the carbon reactor this past weekend. So far I like how well it seems to be doing, my water seems to be nicley polished. Just finished my water change and now I'm watching my 2 new additions.

I had local reefer wanting to buy one of the wife's rainbows so I spent ALL day Sunday trying to get 3 nems off of a rock. One for his tank, one for mine and one back in the wife's tank. One finally have up the battle about 30 minutes before pick up time. The other 2 beat me, I gave up and put them back in her tank. There is a plan B though. I plan to put the entire rock in mine, surley one of the two will move off, ya it's getting personal now! ;Rage

The guy that bought the nem is extremely happy with his new prize and how well it bubbled up and sent us a pic to show it off.
