who got the wacky watermelon and gumball factories? those are the two that almost tempted me into this sale. Lucky for me most of them were gone before the VIP started. But i would love to see some pics when folks get them in their tanks.
I got a big gumball factory. I’ll post some pics when it come in

How do you guys receive in large orders? Set up separate holding tank for dipping? I have a spare 10gallon I was thinking of putting some egg crate in with a heater and tank water to dip and check everything.

I just use the water it comes with to dip...then grab a little tank water to wash off

I temp acclimate. I use egs crate with my clear tub to dip everything at once, then I mount them where I want it to go. Before the order arrive, I have all my frag racks in place.

I float everything for temp and then work in batches of 5. Inspect/Dip in KCl for 10 mins, move to a quick Lugols bath for 2 mins then rinse in clean tank water. They go on a rack in the tank based on what they are (SPS higher up, everything else lower).

I then change out the dip, Lugol's and rinse water and grab the next 5.

What is the recipe for using lugols as a dip?

Couple 5 gallon buckets with heater and powerhead, KCl for dip, I use water from the tank, so a water change for the tank in the process. I do them in batches.
