. New tank new floor yadda yadda...LOL just kidding.
Yep. Arrived last week ...the wrong one just left. New DT is finally in the living room. Were it not for my RO accident, it would be getting plumbed this weekend
Glad to hear.. a tank without clowns is kinda like "vegan bacon" it can be done... but why? lol
So excited for the long finned Davinci coming Tuesday. My Ora Snowstorm far exceeded my expectations. Mr. Wiggles is just an amazingly entertaining and healthy fish.
It took two months to get the replacement. I don't know if we'll ever know the true story ... Although I suspect the original was just made at 5:00 somewhere on a Friday. The new one was still off by 1/4 in each direction.... So QC is not his strong suit. The crazy thing is that he utilizes a CNC machine so how???!!!
Good luck with your deliveries, getting them in the tank, and the doctorSo, corals are coming tomorrow from TSA and WWC. I just moved the QT to the other room. Leo - the Davinci is not a happy camper at the moment. 50% WC though and lots of yuck cleaned out of the sponge filter. Salinity is spot on, zoas and nems look happy....fingers crossed most of the corals make it. This is my first deep dive into SPS and I killed my last birds nest, so encouragement is welcome.
Unfortunately, we found out that we need to remove about 500 sq ft of luxury plank vinyl flooring. We laid it over the old glue down hardwoods and that proved catastrophic. The engineered wood swelled up and lifted the flooring. Now we need to have a guy come in and use a machine to tear up all of the original floor and then we need to relay the LPV again. Of course, all of this is happening while I am waiting to see a neurosurgeon about my neck. Even my home office needs to be emptied - hence why I had to move the QT. Poor Leo.
I'm hoping the corals do OK in the QT for a week or two. I anticipate getting to the plumbing of the new DT this weekend and then get it's feet wet. There is still a lot of water to mix but things are moving ..... slowly.
Thanks for the comparison! Just from my experience, WWC was leagues ahead on shipping and cleanliness from ASD. Just for referenceI received two deliveries today - one from TSA live sale and one from the WWC live sale. TSA for the win!
So different in the packaging. Not one drop leaked in the TSA box. The WWC had those little bitty bags. TSA had big bags and every single frag had a cup on it. I LOVED the instructions on the TSA bags. I was able to sort them by flow and light as I opened them.... then of course I realized my frag rack is well only going in QT for now. LOL They did include the instructions with my paperwork too. AWESOME service. WWC provided no instruction, so now I am looking up each frag to figure out flow and light placement - fun.
Overall, the peach frag from WWC is a good size... it was expensive, so it better be, right? The mushrooms have no color on them yet - just blah. The $30 zoas from WWC are beefier than the $10 mystery zoas from TSA - that's fair. Otherwise, all of the TSA frags were bigger, brighter and healthier. (no pests - woo!) My husband is totally digging "The Thing". I know which sale I'll do again.
I can't say enough about how CLEAN the TSA shipment was. No hitchhikers - none. The WWC order had a BUNCH of hitchhikers. The water was ick. So glad to have dipped.
@TopShelfAquatics for the win! Great value, fun sale - great frags. Crushed it.
Working on it! LOL Started installing the bulkheads last night. Boo... one of the 5 came cross threaded. Marine Depot is sending a replacement. We'll call that the emergency drain for now and keep moving on the rest of the plumbing.
That's some clean plumbing!Did somebody say pipes?! Not complete but I sniffed a lot of glue today. Fell short of my goal to mount the UV and be done today but the neck just ain't having it. Tomorrow is another day.
