AForys Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ok, to start off it came in a Styrofoam box with a heatpack(it's still hot!) I got a decent size order, everything is here and a few extra nas vibex and dwarf ceriths! Awesome! They been floating for 15 mins now and about to release them the way John recommends, no acclimation other then temp. Here we go! Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks for the update! Link to comment
AForys Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ok, only 1 empty hermit shell. Waiting on the rest of the snails to move around but 90% already actively moving! Conch hasn't moved but I can see him slightly moving in shell. 1 of the Peppermints is already picking at my only aiptaisa!!! Link to comment
AForys Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looks like only 1 hermit and 2 Florida cerith and a couple dwarf ceriths shells were empty. Not bad for a 100+ order. But now I guess someone stole my rock that ups dropped off less then 15 mins after dropping off! Damn Chicago! Link to comment

That's new news to me! Link to comment
AForys Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've never done it that way my self but the shrimp and conch and..AND serpent star is alive and active. Along with hermits and snails. Link to comment
Aurortpa Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Wow, the shrimp made it too...? I thought they were salinity sensitive? Interesting! I do hope they all fare well! Keep us updated! Oh yeah, what kinda conch do you have? Link to comment
AForys Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Florida fighting, took him about 24hrs to get active but now hes cruising the sand! Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 They like to hang out at first. Conchs are more evolved than other snails, they can get frightened and hide out. Other snails usually just respond to recent stimuli. Link to comment
Aurortpa Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I love my conch, he is hilarious to me especially with hi oogling eyes Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 They have a weird swirl that I think is cool. I also like that the eye stalks can move independently. Link to comment
AForys Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ok, just a update on my cuc and rock order. Cuc I'd awesome everything cleaning like they should also I had 2 aiptaisa in my tank the 3 peppermints cleared up right away! Happy I don't have to resort to chemicals in the tank +10! I had a little issue with my rock order, guess this rock is so awesome someone stole my package on me! Damn rats! John quickly contacted UPS we got it all sorted out and he got another order out me to asap. And even with the crappy Chicago UPS service (IMO) I'm very happy with the rock, just a little rinse I tossed in some prime in a bucket with a power head maybe a hour changed water out a few times and in my tank it went. Very happy, not only with the product but the outstanding customer service John gave. +10 Will use ReefCleaners again. Thanks again John! Link to comment
