Robb in Austin

Happy! Happy!

I'd say; it depends mostly on who the dealer is. If it is a reputable dealer, I'd say you're ok.

Maybe you can get a partial credit. How much is it supposed to weigh?

And quit being a ****! Just to eliminate that risk.

Scrape it off with your fingernail. I seem to recall that you can nuke any remaining bits with kalk paste or maybe epoxy/superglue/etc.

I'd be hesitant to put SS into SW.

Still wanna know what a fish saver is.

Fish saver? Wazzat

Why do you always bring back Evil whatevs?

@Cryus;

Don't do it(the job that is). There was a thread on RC(I think), last year IIRC, and some folks posting on it mentioned that management at Petco didn't care and would not let experienced SW folks take better care of the tanks.

I've also thought about mercy buying at Petco and will not do it. 1) Too worried about introducing nasties into my tank and B) by buying from them it only encourages them to continue to stock SW items.

Yo Don,

Sorry to hear about the troubles. RCA has that giant DSA tank still! Upgrade!!

Good luck!

Where does one get a long turkey baster? I've been wanting one but haven't found it.

I would go the Kent Sea Squirt route but don't want to pay $20 for it.

I'll check ebay as suggested too.

I'll sell you mine for $599 AND a sixxer of good beer of my choosing.

jk, I' dont have one.

It's all one big crap shoot really. Think of the total number of fish born, then compare that to the number seen on an actual reef in nature.

We, humans, are culling some of those survivors and inducing stress and hoping they survive to the showroom, let alone our tanks.

I've had good luck from the local LFS, and moreso, from DFS/Live Aquaria and then other local reefers.

Personally, I won't buy SW, or even most FW, from Petco/PetsMart due to the shoddy conditions they keep their tanks/livestock in.

I was in the one at Parmer/35 last week and their GHA was worse than mine.

I'd like to know what Petco's process is for obtaining their fish. I would imagine they use the same wholesalers as everyone else.

Wasn't this a find/freebie?

I'll come out tonight and pay you $100 for it all.

Update?

There is a fee(usually beer, good beer) that is payable directly to me or Chris(oOzarkawater) for that information.

Welcome!

Which one is Mark?

I wanna know who bought the purple hammer out from under me!

What kind of tank is it? How old? Did you buy it new? Warranty issue maybe/hopefully?

Ugh, I dread hearing of tank failures and hope I never have to deal with one(although I know I probably will one day).

If you don't have storage, hit the local walmart for rubbermaid tubs. I wouldnt wait on SC to call back.

If you can spread out the livestock amongst your other tanks, I'd do that, then drain the main tank. I'd worry about the rock least of all.

If you have a way of taking it down tonight, I'd do it just to avoid a catastrophic failure at 0400.

Sorry to hear the bad news.

Me likey.

Mike,

And I thought Spring Roll was cool.

Desmo is the shizzznitzzz!

While not apples to apples, we feed out giant Red Devil/Midas cichlid frozen blood worms straight outta the fridge(Compton?) without issue. Have been doing this for years. We dont do this for all her feedings(mostly just as special feedings) though so maybe that has something to do with it.
