Third time better be the charm

[exnisstech]

well wow. hopped on the TG live sale because i got all my chores done early today and i am taking a me day. that lasted about a minute. stuff is way more expensive then i remember. now i dont feel bad only buying coral 2x a year at our local swaps. that stuff is just silly.

I've notice their images look pretty cooked these days too. They used to be more natural looking. I suppose folks want neon corals so many vendors are offering them, even though they are not real.

yeah even with local pick up the prices are stupid. oh well just sun bathing then, finally a beautiful day here.

Ordered a bunch of snails instead of pretty coral. Boo. Tired of looking at the green sand.

Picked up a tan derasas clam and some more feeder snails for Pop Tart. The "shop" is holding it for me until I get back from playing pirate. It's just a simple tan one. They had blue ones but I am really liking the tan for some weird reason.
Think I will end up getting a 10g to take for the r2r express tranfer. That little 5g just isn't gonna work.

I think you'll love pancake and pinky. Once comfortable, pancake is blinding.
Pinky has a lot of gorgeous pastel colors

I didn't name the ufo pancake for no reason. I was very impressed with pinky too though. It's crazy how they can just relax and take up space you didnt know they were capable of.

Nice!

I do test the tank weekly but I'm not good at actually posting the results.
Feeling lazy today. Here's the last monthish.

Snail army has arrived. Going UPS from reefcleaners if a hard pill at 45$ but it got here in less then 24hrs. So guess it's worth it.

let me know how the order goes.

Did you have other inverts like shrimp or crabs? Only asking because I've gotten snails from John a few times and priority mail worked out fine, weather permitting.

No just the snails. My "mail" is unreliable at best. I had a usps delivery from him before that was doa and it was REALLY doa. First time doing the UPS because I did not want to deal with that again. Ever.

I did ups when I last ordered from them, only because like you, I don't trust my USPS. They struggle getting my water bill to me and it comes from the same town 2 addresses down the street. I can see their building. But the mail can't get me the bill?!

I just make sure to pick a large order so it feels worth it. My lfs charges quite a bit in comparison per snail so it's definitely saving me money on a large cuc.

I know what really DOA snails smells like
