Parameters arent too bad...was it a new acquisition ?

 

[Mr bigolsworth]

yes it was

 

[tehmadreefer]

That happens to new additions sometimes. Did you get it from wwc?

 

[Redfoxtang]

I’ve found that Grizzly Adams seems to be pretty finicky with water parameters. I’ve went through a couple of them until I got my nutrients and parameters stable. Could be just my tank and parameters but that’s just what I’ve seen. Also it seems to love dirty water.

How long have you had it? and did it come from wwc? For whatever reason acros from wwc don’t seem to do well for me as well, but wwc named pieces do well I’ve tested wwc prams and they are a little funky, (high Alk) and I feel they rush the healing of their corals since it’s all about the money for them these days. Back when it was a little store things did great and I loved them but now it’s money money chop chop and a big name with prices sky high for stuff that has plummeted. This is all my opinion and I still like wwc and have a place for them in my heart but won't give them my money much anymore.

this exactly. I didn’t want to say it, lol

but they do have a 10 day guarantee, so it can be replaced/refunded if from them during the guarantee period.

 

[Mr bigolsworth]

It is from wwc and inside the 10 days. They are replacing it. I think I got a good deal. Got it as part of the ultra frag pack. Feel that’s a good value. Put price per frag is pricy from then.

They had 5 polyps of pink zipper zoos for $105.....on sale . I promise ya bud you're getting hosed on whatever you buy . Google search pink zippers and you'll find 25 vendors that have them for half to a quarter of that price .

 

[Mr bigolsworth]

When you average 10 frags for $ 45 each with free shipping and 10 day guarantee that cheaper then I can get local hands down.

I got a pack coming tomorrow that’s way better shipped. 10 acros for $310 shipped and not some cheap beginner stuff either, no guarantee but it supports another hobbyist and I’d bet my frags are bigger than wwc’s and they have been healed for a minimum of 2 weeks.

just gotta look around is all. Regardless, wwc quality is far from what it used to be thats why you get these responses nowadays.

good luck with the others.
