I cant seem to keep a tang if my life depended on it buddy. Its pretty tough and frustrating to no end.

Sorry for your loss buddy! I can understand that battle with QTing tangs.

I've got 2 Tangs in QT right now at the office. One Juvie Sailfin and One Juvie Orange Shoulder.

Both eat like pigs but both of them hide instantly as soon as I show myself in front of the tank. I think the Sailfin would be a lot better and less skittish if the Orange Shoulder wasn't in there as it is always the Orange Shoulder that hides first and then the Sailfin follows suit.

Makes it frustrating as I can never get a good look to inspect either of them.

Hopefully your luck turns around soon!

Thanks for the condolences

After much deliberation moving forward I will be changing the cupramine dosing moving away from their two doses as it was the initial dose that I believe did them in. As they never made it to the full treatment. I will do smaller daily doses over a weeks time.

Anywho as for the good, i finally got the skimmer dialled in, from what I've seen so far, it does not like being to deep in water and not to shallow. It's been stable however I hate the adjustments on this skimmer.

Got some gfo in a reactor , and carbon in a baggy.

And currently waiting on FedEx ....... Stay tuned

Never mind FedEx showed up. Just as my order showed up.

From what I could gather experiences have been pretty mixed With this place, but most info was coming from group orders, which can be dicey info as there is more factors that come into play.

Anyways communication has been flawless so far, my original delivery date was pushed back two days due to heat pack issues. ( from what I could gather , this place didn't use heat packs ) Well if they didn't they do now.

One of my frags I ordered was not doing so well, I got a phonecall in the morning before he shipped, stating my options of refund, or a grab bag of others not even on the site yet. Pfft I'm going for the mystery box every time folks . He even offered to refund if I was not happy with the replacements.

Here's some packaging photos, they are currently warming up in my sump. The bags felt pretty warm considering the snowy weather today.

Everything so far a+

This had a foam lid as well
