Sauced and Confused (Lost Remix)

Lololololol

:) Hey Steve

 

[Stang67]

Gone for a full week, mother in law dosing neo phos and nitrate every other day and feeding fish.

How bad is the tank gonna be when I get back on Friday. Dinos rampant is my guess.

Tank crash? Who wants to take bets

I'm gonna say dinos will be gone when you get back. Magic is real.

Two of the Three fish I was expecting today from Dr reef were received. Sigh.

Bag water at 1.020... this is Rediculous.

All the tangs hit the tank tonight.

Adding to the existing 3 yellow tangs will be

New:
Chocolate Tang
Convict

Existing:
Desjardini
Orange Shoulder
White Cheek
White Tail BT
Blonde Naso

Been waiting on our order from Dr Reefs for over a month now. Keeps telling me "We didn't ship your order today as some of the fish didn't want to eat so we didn't feel comfortable shipping them and will ship later." My response the next day was, "Are they eating yet??" No reply as of yet :confused:

Honestly, Mike Sucks at the running the business and communication with customers side of the business.

Fortunately/Unfortunately; It's big enough that he can't do it himself, and the help he previously brought in was no help at all.

The product is good and without a lot of alternatives. The Service surrounding it, is Rediculous in all seriousness.

Lack of upfront communication is the biggest one.

Customers should never receive a box, without being told beforehand that some fish weren't shipped.

Pre QT, we should never receive a bag at 1.020. there is only two reasons to do so. 1( hiding a parasite 2) saving money on salt. #2 should never be an option since he holds all "clean" fish in an observation system for a week after medication.

It takes a Full day to safely transition a fish from 1.020 to 1.025. I'll bet a lot of his warranty die offs come from this specifically.

You can't float and quick drip that kind of jump.

My last shipment from him came in at 1.024 so I didnt have that issue but I completely agree, communication of any sort with him is horrible!

Thats what I was thinking but my wife says I always think the worst :)

Weird Sheets about...

The last few days, many LPS aren't opening to full potential. Tissue looks fine across the board but All of the torches are Maybe 1/3 inflated. Both Trachy's are shrivveley. None of the acans looking right. Hammers are inflated, but not looking right. Way too much neck.

No3: 13.7
Po4: .135 and lowering slowly with GFO
Alk is maintaining between 8.5 & 9 Dkh dosing by hand.

This is happening at high, medium, and lower light areas. Flow has not changed.

SPS are looking good. Softies and mushrooms are fine. Lots of LPS not affected..

The nasty algae which I believe are diatoms instead of dinos don't seem to be at all affecting the corals in question. I'm not doing much about it. Waiting for it to consume the silicates and hopefully die off.

There is only passive carbon in this system.

What am I not seeing/thinking about?
