Wish I could say its a good morning. Had a nice softy shipment schedule through FEDEX to arrive this morning.
Well . . . . Just got off phone with FEDEX who for the FOURTH and last time did not get an OVERNIGHT delivery of coral to me today and will now be tomorrow. Im Tired of getting dead coral because of them.
Im notifying everyone who ships to me that if they have no one other than FEDEX do not take orders from me- I refuse to use FEDEX ever again. My experience has not been just with coral but other packages and last year, their driver even hit my cycle and attempted to drive off !

Last month I purchased an item, it was shipped, it had a tracking number, it stated that it was being delivered, and then suddenly, I receive a message that says the order was cancelled. Granted, the world has become crazy right now, but I don't understand how FEDEX could lose a package or cancel a package when it was basically around the corner from me and about to be delivered. I understand your frustrations. I'm sorry about your damaged motorcycle and receiving dead coral. It has to be aggravating.

2" pink styro insulation board will seek true level perm

Not to high jack post vetteguy, definitely love the tank coral and all the advice you give to me and everyone, but I have a 8ft acrylic tank should I use foam board between plywood and metal stand?

Could you please share your Atlantik V4 lighting schedule. Thanks in advance!!

 

[vetteguy53081]

Channel 1 at 80%, channel 2 +3 (blue/purple at 95% ) and channel 4 at 25% but size and depth of your tank will make a difference

 

[aquaregia]
