ZephNYC Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 It was actually only $100.. but she's was a looker! Could have easily sold for double IMO. These photos are surely copyrighted.. Here was the other thing I ordered. The favia might actually make it. Maybe.. Problem is I doubt with these guys I can just get a refund and move on, it'll likely be store credit. Next time I'm going to call (oh wait i did call and they dont answer), email them and request overnight shipping. Ouch Zeph, $1500.. at least they stand behind their DOA with a refund but still doesn't make up for lack of responsibility and loss of life. It's not like NY hasn't been plastered all over the news about the hurricane and all the really cold weather. I barely watch the news as it is and I know it's cold up there. I've shipped a box from Florida to Michigan in January subzero temps overnight early AM. Heat pack was still warm and water at 72 deg. I thought it was either you or albert thiel who said their quality had declined over the past year? As of now, it's still riding around on the truck... REALLLY Nice!!! They really could/should be just fine. Im a pathetic optomist but 2 days isnt that bad and you said the temp was ok so we'll keep our fingers crossed. I love live aquaria for many reasons, but once in a blue they really drop the ball. I have received orders that were insulting, and I have also been blown away, but I will never stop ordering.

Looselyhuman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 So after being up till the wee hours watching the election coverage, seeing Obama clean the floor with Romney, I have 3 words : UNFOLLOW DONALD TRUMP. What a tool. Also, clams. Quote Link to comment

In all honesty, I would not get that other clam they have to offer. It looks less than perfect to me. Those are easy $180 clams and they are selling them on the cheap for a reason. Sorry for the loss but if it was me I would get store credit or refund, Quote Link to comment
jedimaster1138 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Seeing clams die makes me sad. I've lost 2 now. Le sigh. go for the cliffnotes on the index. but when you catch up it gets cwaaazeee in here fast. Mostly when I yell at Zeph. Cliff notes, smiiffnotes. I read the whole thing. /flex Hey Zeph, if I go ahead with my upgrade, we might have to split a 1500$ LiveAquaria order, given our proximity ;-p Quote Link to comment

steely185 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) figured you would enjoy this video I snagged on a trip to pacific east a few years ago. I will look for it again and upload it again. Didn't realize it had an issue uploading the first time. I apologize for the video quality. Edited November 8, 2012 by steely185 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Holy cow! look at all those Tiger Maximas. Oh and the purple and green and that lavender?! Zeph is going to soil himself Quote Link to comment
steely185 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) The big green and black one was my baby that I lost in my crash. It was worth the $300 though. The clams would squirt you as you walked by the tubs from the change in light scaring them. Edited November 8, 2012 by steely185 Quote Link to comment
jedimaster1138 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 amazing, even the other Jedi says Le Sigh. Am I seeing you at the swap? Yup, I'll be there with my buddy Kenny, same guy I dragged along last time. Heh I'm hoping to make it in time for Dr. Sanjay's presentation. Going to donate a few things, I think, to the Sandy Wiped Out My Reef Fund and sell some others to those who didn't get demolished. (sadly, literally) I'll probably get sucked into a clam if Dr. Mac is there and blows my mind. heh Quote Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Holy cow! look at all those Tiger Maximas. Oh and the purple and green and that lavender?! Zeph is going to soil himself I get frustrated when I see pictures like that because i want them ALL. I feel like im in the twilight zone without my phone. It completely froze mid text with you during my workout. Im always texting with kat during my workouts. ITs my excuse for sitting down. Guess Ill go Iphone after all. Hey when is Bklyn MACNA? Yup, I'll be there with my buddy Kenny, same guy I dragged along last time. Heh I'm hoping to make it in time for Dr. Sanjay's presentation.

metrokat Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Going to donate a few things, I think, to the Sandy Wiped Out My Reef Fund and sell some others to those who didn't get demolished. (sadly, literally) this is a bit early but I am hosting a hurricane recovery event at manhattan reefs after the swap. We are working out the details but donations etc will be part of the event if we can work out how it will happen without compromising the stores sales. They will have $5/$10$15 raceways, etc. still hashing it out. Kats club 25% discount will still apply. Quote Link to comment
