Third time better be the charm

My coral shipment got delayed until next week. Major issues at the Louisville ups hub. Gives me more time to play around with a little craft project I started.

Better delayed by the vendor than sitting in a depot delayed by ups. Overnight shipping sure has been sketchy lately.

Yup and everything happens for a reason, at least that's the mantra I have been trying to live by.

Expected weather storm last night is what both vendors who delayed told me. UPS updated them that anything sent out yesterday would absolutely be delayed and would not make overnight with the storm. Both delayed to ship either today pending weather or tomorrow.

I'm sure the contract with USPS ending (or rather, USPS backing out of it) and having them all backed up with packages doesn't help their situation though.

I'm not upset with my delay, I'm more likely to be home all day tomorrow. I work today.

Shipping is horrid this time of year. I returned a kitchen aid mixer on 12/14 and they haven’t processed it yet. Just that time of year then a bunch of bad weather. Can’t wait to get on a plane Thursday!

Tested this am. Thinking I may have lost the wrasse. Everything looks close to what it was last time I tested. Ni are down to 30 and po is still through the roof blinking 200. Time to get that in check. Going to dig out my red dive light and check in the am tomorrow for the fish. Since levels haven't changed, I think he's just being a leopard.

Tested office tanks on Monday. Did a water swap. Mini was high, 40 was low. Gonna do another swap tomorrow. Goby and shrimp are happy. Need a feeder of some kind for the mini.

Hey Becky does Cleveland Aquatic gems have many coral? I'm full on fish for now but could add a coral or two. Girls are having a pizzas party at the house today so I need to go away.

Ordered some elimi np. Fingers crossed that will get me trending out of the blinking 200 range.

They have a decent amount not anything special though. Mostly common run of the mill stuff and may not be "clean". Aka they had 2 filefish working in the one tank. What were you looking for?

Nothing in particular really. I just have a lot of open rock in the waterbox I would like to get covered with something hardy. I'm not too concerned about aiptasia and such, it's food for the CBBs and peppermints.
