One of my favorite LFS has great owners and a beautiful shop.. but the corals I get from them straight up melt within 2-3 days after introducing them to my tank. Juicy frags that look great, have encrusted or new growth, all aquacultured and and ready to go.. until they enter my system.
I know, I know, you're probably thinking Cheezle, your params are out of wack. Your lighting is too intense, you didn't acclimate properly, etc. and you might be right.. But its just one LFS in particular, their coral hate me and my system. I haven't had this issue with any other LFS or online store I've bought from, its literally just this one shop and their coral. I've thrown in acros, chalices, acans, hammers, etc. after they sat in a UPS box at a Phoenix hub in 115+ degree heat and they were THANKFUL to have been thrown in.. but these corals who have never known a bad day can't handle the change from their system to mine?
Make it make sense!
So, now that my rant is kind of over.. has anyone else experienced that before? Or is it just me and my raggedy tank lol
