Do you have your tool, containers, dips ready for when your frags arrive?

That's kind of my new coral ritual morning of. Clean out containers, wash off the tools, everything prepped for arrival.

Getting into a good habit now of inspection and cleaning and dipping of your new frags is a habit that will never let you down in this hobby.

Tools yes, containers yes, dip... no.

Joe said that he would include either Seachem dip or Seachem reef fuel, but I don’t know what I will get yet.

I do plan on inspecting everything closely though. :)

Magnifying glass, tweezers, old toothbrush are my go to tools.

If you have hydrogen peroxide around the house, You can also make a concentrate for cleaning the plugs of algea, not necessarily dipping the coral.

Ok! I’ll get that stuff rounded up!

I would honestly be happy with either the reef fuel or the dip. Both would be helpful!

I MIGHT also get a free frag... Joe said he would throw in some freebies with some of the orders. :)

Well... this is GREAT.

I now apparently have to leave at 11:30 to go to my brothers lesson in Lexington.

What if they don’t come in before I have to leave??

It says they were on the truck being delivered since 9:35.
Overnight shipments like that through fedex generally have a before 10:30am delivery time. That being said I've had issues with Fedex recently. With mild temps as long as the box isn't in direct sun on the porch you should be ok for a bit of extra time.

They will either be in the mailboxes or in our drop box, both of which are black.

It’s also heating up outside, with the temperature being around 80F all day.

I would be gone until probably until 3 PM, or longer. :(

and no safety net. amazing. :cool:

This is a mini peninsular, I don't clean the side glass so it has good grip, it goes up slowly grazing like a slow windshield wiper, hits top or bottom, moves across towards the grubby side and goes down or up, makes me smile a lot. :)

My turbo snail also does this! Pretty amazing that they can grip the glass that well, especially considering all of the algae.

This is why all my stuff goes to a hub. Then it can sit it a building with ac/ heat until I can pick up

That would have been smart.

Honestly though, for $30 “priority” overnight?? I could have got USPS 1 day shipping for cheaper! (And yes, it has almost been a day since Joe shipped it out)
