Jay Wee Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just wanna say Amazon does things right by their customers. My Jebao RW-4 failed. Damn thing stopped spinning. Only had it running for a little over a month. The controller works fine but the propeller just wasn't spinning. I even took it out and gave it a good cleaning still nada, not spinning. So I emailed Amazon where I got it from and they responded almost immediately and issued me a refund, told me to re-purchase from one of their Amazon prime sellers and shipped it to me next day and waived the 1 day shipping fee. Talk about customer service. Link to comment
D Z Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks man! All your 3 tanks are awesome. Really love that Pico Jar. I wanna start one too haha. Thanks! The jar isn't much right now. I lost all the coral that was in it and started over with some LR from my 8 gallon that I broke down. It seems to have cycled and has a bunch of bryopsis and GHA right now. Looks very "natural". Gonna throw a couple ceriths and 1 small hermit in to clean it up a bit and then well see about 1 or 2 small frags.... Just wanna say Amazon does things right by their customers.

Jay Wee Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I never really paid attention to my apartment from the exterior but this evening I was walking my dogs and happened to be drawn toward a super bright blue light. Thanks Kessil. Now the whole neighborhood knows I have a reef tank. Link to comment
Jay Wee Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 My SPS Pillar is partially complete with lotsa frags. Can't wait for them to grow quick and outwards. Will probably have to relocate some of these guy at a later stage once they start touching. Or avoid growing into each other and create some sort of interesting shape. A new super hot addition. A Red Spider Sponge. Heard this thing is super hard to keep. Had it for a week and its been doing pretty well. Polyps are all extending and fluffy. but the slightest touch or too much flow it shrinks and start to look leathery. Really interesting. Mine seems to like strong flow but not direct and lower light. Also needs constant feeding like 3 times a day. I'm gonna start feeding less to see how it does. Link to comment

Thanks Kessil. Now the whole neighborhood knows I have a reef tank. That's how I gauge whether I'm at the right house or not whenever I buy frags from someone. That light beacon in their window.

CrazyCarl Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Those sponges are awesome. I was told that the white polyps are actually a type of zoanthid that has a symbiotic relationship with the sponge. Not sure if that is true or not, Nonetheless it is really awesome looking. Where did you pick up all those frags? I am in NY too. Link to comment

I requested for him to cut this small piece for me and he did. Link to comment
