gena Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You were under pressure to get something made. Now that you have something to keep everyone safe you can take your time and make another one that you are satisfied with $127????? That's ridiculous!!!! Link to comment
gena Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 yea...and 76 for 2nd day.....blah how do people get such cheap overnight prices Was it a huge box???? That's the only reason why it woud be so outrageous like that, I would think. Link to comment
gena Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 little box, 9x9x7inches standard overnight, afternoon delivery, no signature required Holy moly!!!! What about FedEx? Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 As long as it keeps them in the tank that's all that matters. Joel tried a screen top and it did not end well...... Link to comment
gena Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thats who I went to. I didnt try ups or usps Oh! I forgot you don't like USPS anymore. I think they would be fairly reasonable though and it would be overnight so no worries about it ending up in Florida Link to comment
Felicia Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 how so candy? I musta missed that? I had a screen top - I just remade it to go around the plumbing & doubled up on the mesh...but it looks like ass I think it was just a mess. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think it was just a mess. Thanks, honey. Here was the screen: Here's what I ended up making to fence them in: How my blenny and two clowns jumped out of that I have no idea. There is so much shame in the above pictures. Here is the light diffuser top to make me feel better about it: Link to comment
gena Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 BTW....nice sale price on the helfrichs!!!!!! Link to comment
21093r53 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 you got a pair for that price right? Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Here's what I ended up making to fence them in: Sorry but that just made me laugh out loud. I commend your craftiness. I've wondered the same about overnight shipping. Someone asked me how much to send something halfway across the states and it was over $50. I was shocked at that! But over $100?! Can't wait to see the new fish tomorrow Link to comment
Felicia Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks, honey. Your welcome, sweetheart The cardboard dojo was so awesomely ghetto! Link to comment
brad908 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 When you ship USPS priority or overnight it goes on FedEx anyway. Link to comment
brad908 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Haha yea. I work for one of the major 3 and work in air transportation logistics. All are eachothers biggest customers. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sounds like you are slowly recovering and a new fishy or two always helps! That Hellfreeky fish is incredible. I have been eyeing one of those for my tank, but I don't know if it would get along with my blue grudgeon goby/dartfish??? Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 so I still don't know what to do about my brain coral. Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You didn't try bottle feeding it kat? I could really take that up a notch. Good morning. The crab was just there, not picking on it. So I want to try what you suggested, what do you mean exactly by 'try a bottle around it'? You mean enclose it in a bottle and feed it selecon and marine snow? See above Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Take a coke bottle and cut the bottom off - turn off flow, place bottle over the coral, couple drops of food, couple drops of selcon vitamins, maybe a couple drops of skimmate to feed the zoox(up to you), let it sit for 30-60 minutes so it can osmolate some stuff through its soft tissue. Is it completely deflated? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Dartfish of different species are normally not aggressive toward one another. PEAC has a tank with a blue grudgeon and several red firefish in it, its 40 gallons. Ratio was like 6red:1blue Thanks for the reply! I might get me a hellfreeky as my next fish. Alrighty then!
