SBB - AFTERPARTY SALE- 3 day event 1750 corals. Our Largest sale ever!

[banik]

So. I picked up a Milwaukee MA887. I've had it for a week and a half and finally calibrate and test last night. It reads 1.030. I break out the Hanna, it reads 1.026. I get out the refractometer, zero it with RODI, and it reads 1.030.

I'm working on end of year reviews this week for my teams, so once that's done and I recover, I'll go through and recalibrate the Hanna and test the reference solution with the other two instruments and see what's going on. I might even have a hydrometer somewhere in the basement if the scale for brewing will work for salinity...

The only real issue not caused by overcrowding for my tank had been my RFAs bring generally unhappy and a couple cases of BJD of the past couple months...

Happy delivery and shipping day! Excited to see some of your boxes today!

Got my shipping email!

I am confused by mine it changed to delivery by tomorrow but it’s in Denver?

Mine departed Commerce for Colorado Springs hub in Monument before its deliver

 

[Reefing_addiction]

Maybe see if you can't pick it up for the location

And now it shows it’s in Commerce City - as of 6:18am I’m gonna go back to sleep (we’ll pretend I’m sleeping) for another hour and see what it says then.

If it shows silliness I will call UPS and tell them that they have my emotional support fish and I need to pick them up ASAP

Call UPS. After the providing the tracking and bypassing the auto prompts, just say "customer service" to get a live person. Very odd

Good morning! It's a delivery day for some I see. I'm getting a small box, but nothing like sbb. Ralph confirmed this morning which I appreciate, I have my stuff mailed to work so I can keep it inside out of the weather and then I'll leave early.

I've thought about asking for a local pickup as well. I'd love a tour of his system but I believe it's in his basement so I wouldn't want many strangers trudging through my house. My wife would kill me lol. I'm a little farther than you are.

Yeah. I’m a professional stalker by the government for real so I did look and saw his registered llc address which is likely his home. I wouldn’t want that either. That said, hopefully one day he does have a physical footprint. There are great fish stores in Jersey but not great coral I’m aware of.

I only use my tropic Marin hydrometer. It might be old school but it’s never wrong. Salinity is the one thing I don’t worry about.

I may do a video. The rules didn't say anything about seeing a face.

I'm having a similar issue. I have used three different methods and I get three different results. I've even used three different plastic ones and gotten different results. I am going to order a hydrometer this week and rely on that?

Reefco in East Green Brook has some nice coral displays. It's a very nice clean store
