lkoechle Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 So... two fish on my list are on divers den. I'm a little tipsy and have had a drink before I realized this. My 25 lagoon tank has been up for two months now. I've two clowns in there, cuc, etc. Levels have been fine. 25% bi-weekly monthly water change. I have hard time reconciling the $29.99 shipping fee on one fish... So, I need to buy two or none. AND THEY'RE BOTH THERE. AND they're out of stock on live aquaria. Since I'm tipsy, I need to know if this is a good idea or not. I mean, I should be good right? I can always (and expect to) up the water change to weekly. Link to comment
RotaryReef Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I see no issue why not! Especially with bi-weekly water changes! So..... Do it!!!! Link to comment

Mariaface Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Do it. Maybe I should get on diver's den after a couple of drinks... I've talked myself out of the same two fish, four times in the last week Link to comment

Moneys had to be calculated and deals had to be made with the husband: I has a pink-streaked wrasse and a leopard toby puffer (you know, @teenyreef's Doug). HUZZAH! Link to comment
spectra Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Drunk coral purchases are my forte not seven sure I want to know how much I have spent on Saturdays over the years looking at the ASD sales......... Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I guessed the pink streaked wrasse!!! Link to comment
teenyreef Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yes! Excellent choices! I credit the alcohol If I'd seen this earlier I would have egged you on sooner! Link to comment

I may have made sure the husband drank a white russian before presenting this plan. Because I have a monthly "budget". Link to comment

In fact, I've been known to buy enough to hit the "free" shipping mark Link to comment
1891Bro Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Don't question decisions while drunk, reserve that for the morning after. If you're not sure drink some more. Bullet proof excuse to the significant other in the morning too, "Man, I don't remember doing that!?" Link to comment

I used to think bluezoo was ok (a friend ordered from there previously) but everyone says they don't do refunds and you can't use credit towards shipping costs. Link to comment

Yes, DD is part of Live Aquaria, and their standard is free shipping for $149 and up. Link to comment

I had a terrible experience with bluezoo. never again. They sent me a dead fish and a wrong fish and refused to refund for the wrong fish because "it was alive". welp thats dandy except its going to outgrow my tank and isnt what I ordered. And why should I be made to pay for your mistake? It wasnt until I told them I was very active in the forums that they decided to do anything. Ultimately, they resent the order but it still makes me mad that they only did it because they didnt want me to blast the forums. I feel bad for others who got the same treatment that don't participate online. 5 hours ago, teenyreef said: Yes, DD is part of Live Aquaria, and their standard is free shipping for $149 and up. I tried to persuade him wysiwyg coral but he threatened to take away my reef a palooza money. lol Link to comment
