iball1804 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have no idea! That's the best part! With my luck, they will probably be poop colored Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 They are free... I'm sure they will be fine. Plus, brown zoas rarely stay brown in good conditions my two big zoa colonies started out brown and now there's 4 different types between them, green/yellow, green/red, brown/pink with white streaks, and green/maroon.

iball1804 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yep. Between LEDs and good water quality and flow, most corals can't help but look great! Link to comment
Linilou Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Whered the frag come from? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 From a guy in Florida. Priority mail should take 2 days for transit. That should be quick enough, should it? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey ballz, just read the whole thing. What a great DIY! I think you have to have big ballz to to build you own tank. Like the scape! Link to comment

Like the scape! Wooahhhh! Thanks bro! You read the whole thing? Yeah it was awesome to DIY. I've always been a hands-on person (I repair Apple products) so DIY wasn't out of the question. Hopefully some more frags come in and make it start to look more like an actual reef. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 From a guy in Florida. Priority mail should take 2 days for transit. That should be quick enough, should it? Just hope USPS doesn't lose it and it's more like 3-4 days. I hope that's not the case but trust me when I say you should never skip on shipping. Saving money is good but realizing it was your fault you got dead coral/fish for not paying $10 more for shipping is a horrible feeling. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've been shipping with USPS for as long as I can remember . Don't fail me now! Expect a 2.5 gallon dwarf puffer tank pop up here soon Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I had a guy buy cichlids from me once, I told him I couldn't guarantee live delivery on priority shipments but he wouldn't upgrade his shipping no matter what I said, I shouldn't have sold them looking back and now I don't ship priority if I ship fish. Anyways, I packed them like a pro, basically how liveaquaria packs (styrobox, newspaper, cold pack, double bagged, new water, bags filled with pure oxygen, bag buddies to relax/sedate the fish) and sent them out. USPS lost it and it took 5 days to get there. needless to say all 6 died. And that's my depressing story for you to start your day with. Also... Dwarf puffer eh? I like it! Is it safe to say you have the sickness of acquiring tanks now? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Oh no my day has been veerrrryyyy depressing. The only reason why I am getting 2.5 with a dwarf puffer is because it is replacing my 25 gallon Colomesus Asellus tank. I euthanized my asellus puffer rhi morning for various reason. So no I don't have MTS, just a 100% downgrade Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That sucks man I've had to euthanize fish before, it's the worst. YGPM Link to comment
iball1804 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah it was horrible. The container used already had been used with clove oil. He just stopped swimming and laid there. I about bawled in the container! Link to comment

I'd get that out ASAP! http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11202.html Yeah I knew. Still. I'm gonna have to wait until I get a little more cash. Link to comment
Littlegreeny Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'll try! Yeah I knew. Still. I'm gonna have to wait until I get a little more cash. Call United Pet Group, they'll send you a new Visi-Therm for free or take the heater back to any Petsmart and they'll give you a refund or let you exchange it for another heater in the store.
