Psychosis Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The USPS delivered this to my leasing office: I was thinking they delivered it with a Trebuchet, John thinks it must have been hit by a semi. At any rate, I have no way to measure how much sand I actually received out of this mutilated mess. With out asking another question, John offered a replacement bag. That, ladies and germs, is pimpin' power. Another A+++ review at the end of a long line of A+++ reviews. Buy stuff at Reefcleaners, they earn every penny every day. Edit: I missed the Vendor feedback subforum....still, A+++. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looks like a typical USPS delivery to me. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've actually had great luck with shipping for most of my "career." A few DOA's, and maybe a few dents, but never have I received a box that has been reduced to two pieces of wet paper clinging to its contents. Also, this sand is soooo legit. It's awesome. Even tastes OK (don't ask.) Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I sent a buddy my old typhon controller, he got it with all 4 of the goddamn buttons ripped off, I guess fragile means don't stomp on it as hard as you normally would. Just out curiousity, what makes this sand superior to lets say bagged arogonite? Edit: I do have some of the rock he sells, great sutff. Link to comment

Just out curiousity, what makes this sand superior to lets say bagged arogonite? At this point, I'm only judging it based on looks. It's a nice particle size, great color, very smooth and for $35 shipped (in this case, shipped for the most part) a great buy. The site says it's all most 100% calcium carbonate as well (extra awesome.) I've all ways used Caribsea's Aragamax Select, which is very similar (again, based on looks) but with many small angular pieces as well. Also $19.99 for a 15lb bag in store vs. the $35 for 40lbs to your door. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 If the sand is as great as everything else he sells I'm sure it'll be great. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Wow. Someone at USPS must have been pissed at having to carry a heavy box. I mean that looks like a box that's been submerged in water for a while and then crushed while empty. How much did the part that arrived weigh? Link to comment

Psychosis Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Tastes okay means no die off. I'd you rip the bag open with your teeth? Well, the zip tie for the bag was loose and rolling around in the tote. I was sorting through what remained of the box, annoyed and cursing out all of the people at USPS that couldn't hear me. I flipped back the top portion of the box mid "fuuuu" and got a bit of sand flung at my face. Mouth agape, I got to sample the product. 100%, no baby formula cut in. I honestly couldn't say how much sand I have, I don't own a scale. I'm guessing I still received a good 20lbs, but I've no way of saying for sure. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 That is crazy. I had a smushed box then John sent me snails. But nothing was damaged but the box. John is a great guy to deal with. This thread just reminded me I need more snails. See how that works. Link to comment

jgpico Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I found a nerite halfway across my living room one morning and it was still alive. Damn things make a pretty loud noise when they hit the floor falling from my tank. How do I get the non suicidal nerites? Link to comment
