Really nervous about the fish this time. Since the box came unmarked last time and I told him he really should mark it even if with a sharpie. I hope he marks it.

I took live rock from my lfs and the second I dropped it I a bristle worm fell out. I grabbed it with a glove stared at it for a sec and said meh. Let it go in. Go little guy. Welcome to the thunder dome. My flame hawk fish and 6 line would love to speak to you about your cars extended warranty

My Halichoeres chrysus (yellow wrasse) eats the small ones who dare to show themselves during the day. He picks them up and throws them and then CHOMP!

@SBB Corals I would like to see the table with today's boxes

Careful with algaefix it’s same as revive. Which has a bad rep round here

That said, I used revive for bubble algae and it did work. Bubble algae is the most resistant of algaes and it did take 2 months of dosing before I started to make progress but it did fix the issue in 3 months

When I start moving stuff to the new tank I think I’ll be scrubbing these rocks in a bath of salt water to manually remove the majority of the bubble algae.

Question with the Matt does it like, stink? Or by the time the roll rolls it’s kinda dried out?

Poor Matt.

Picked up the harlequin filefish as well as the dussumieri. Really excited to get the tang, I've been looking for quite awhile. I had emailed him and he said just to choose "pick up" and not pay additional shipping, love that.

When I’ve gotten fish before the boxes clearly say “live fish”

Not sure if UPS actually noticed

 

[Thuan]

Well I get both UPS and Fedex tomorrow. The Fedex is for my daughter's dupixent injections

My tank being so new I don’t care about any pests or biodiversity so I let it ride.

Lol..that's a terrible idea.

@SBB Corals im with Thuan. Please can we see!!!

 

[billyocean]

Ypu can let corals acclimate in a separate tank for a few days before dipping and it's probably the best way. But...KCl is pretty gentle on corals so you can dip with confidence right out of the bag.

I took tomorrow off. SBB tomorrow. Jokers Wed

I’m off tomorrow normally. I took Wednesday off because I always like to be home the day after I add stuff.

I work from home. It's going to take me a while to dip and remount the order tomorrow

 

[Lunasea_5]

I was thinking 3?

I've had bad luck with emeralds - out of 7 only one is still in the tank, the rest in succession kept going after one of my gonis and were banished to the sump.

 

[armyvetheather]

I have a feeling there is going to be so many coming in one day that I'll have to float half overnight and dip the next day. We'll see how it goes but last time I got an sbb order was when there was a ton of flooding and so I didn't have time to dip them all and had to float overnight. They did fine.

I had a similar experience and stay away from crabs altogether. Guy at my lfs advises that if it has claws, stay away and I sway that way as well.

@billyocean youre like a respectable curmudgeon lol. Tell it like it is.

 

[armyvetheather]

Anyone have a preference on frag plugs? Any reason one is better than another?

The most I had were 5 boxes in 1 day, corals, nudis, and cleaners,
