I figured to go with RS equip. as they are designed for the tank. They suggest 3 of the lights but the lfs suggested we might want 4 eventually, so as my hubby will do the light fixture, if we want 4, I need 4 now.

The short answer is yes. Just when things are doing great... they're not. I've got 3 leather polyps that have all retracted for some reason and a large flowerpot that's bailing on me.Don't you just wish your tank would get stable and just stay stable! At least for a few weeks lol's.
When I had leathers, they did this all the time. Nature of the beast I think. The goni? So sorry. They are fickle. I finally have a goni that is thriving. Hopefully the alveopora does as well. Off to work. Will see what my tank is like when I get home. Another acro partially bleaching. 2 pcs. 1 bleaching, the other not so not sure I should move down or not. It's about mid way so not high at allThe short answer is yes. Just when things are doing great... they're not.

thanks. I think the nyos zero has helped wonders. 7.9 tonight. Still zero po4. I keep dosing and also doing reef roidsThat's really awesome about your nitrate levels - kudos!
Okay, I have to rant a bit. I just did another cuc order with reefcleaners. 185 bucks. I did ups overnight as the last order, via priority mail was late and had a good 50% loss. This order I had 42.00 loss. The loss was once again with the same animals I've tried before: turbo snails, prickly ceriths, chitons and a crab. I got 1 refund for 23.00 instead of 24. No biggie as when I put in after several days for the rest, I adjusted what I was owed (this wasn't the first time my "refund" was less than what it should have been--usually for a lot more than a dollar and I just went with the flow so to speak. Esp. the last order where I had a 50% loss and didn't get the refund I had calculated.
I had let John know after the chitons were refunded that I was waiting a few extra days on the snail and ceriths. Today I let him know that none of them had moved or shown life. He refunded to correct amount but now says he won't guarantee live arrival as my account has higher losses.
I'm irritated as at his suggestion I used ups overnight and the same problem animals still did not make it which to me speaks that they are shipping out inferior animals either already dead or not healthy enough to survive overnight shipping. 1 crab arrived in water brown and foul! Last order with crabs, same thing. 1 not making it. And I let him know!
It's his business, and I can't believe I'm the only one who has doa's. Maybe no one else asks for refunds but this is an expensive hobby and I can't pay for what I don't receive. And almost 200.00 order to me isn't a small order or even an small customer to just brush off. This is horrible customer service and I am not at fault here.
edit: so now john says he refunded because even with ups overnight I had losses but won't in future. I copied his alive on arrival statement on his website and told him it was his policy to guarantee live arrival, not refunding out of the goodness of his heart. That's it for me.
On a good note: I won another LA gift card
On a sad note: My diamond goby is either dead or dying. It's been losing weight. I know there is enough food in the sand as I feed super heavy. Plus I'm sure there are pods there are my mandarin is a fat little pig
So sorry you went thru this. I've had multiple issues and at times, the John just goes off. On this last order he tried to say he was doing a refund only because I used UPS and his website clearly offers refunds. He was not super nice, though at the end he apologized but yeah I'm done. Esp. after he said he would not offer the live on arrival any more for me due to "heavy" loses on my account. Trying Oceans garden again. I did have a lot of doa's and didn't bother with a refund. Will try them one more time.So its not just me!!
I ordered a large CuC from there a couple weeks ago. I went with the 2 day shipping option. $135 order. I met the mail carrier at the door so the box never even touched the ground at my home. I could smell rot right through the box. Opened it up and at least 50% DoA. Lost a crab that had punctured his bag and arrived in a bag with no water in it. ALL of the larger snails were DoA. The smaller ones were ok, but after reading this, and the lack of a reply from the vendor, I will never purchase from them again.
