gena Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Ok....now for some bizarre news LOL. I have an over 70 pound box sitting on my front porch right now from Innovative Marine . I pulled the packing slip off and looked. In this box is the Aqua Gadget Hydrofill reservoir which I was GOING to get with my credit from the drop-off. I was going to get that and the 25 g Lagoon tank. It was on backorder (the reservoir) which was fine. I didn't mind waiting. But a few days (or hours lol) later I decided to go with the 10 gallon tank instead of the reservoir. Apparently they never took me off the waiting list for the reservoir. So that's in the box. But 70 pounds? That doesn't weigh THAT much LOL. There is ALSO a 25 gallon Lagoon tank in the box . I quickly gave them a call, hahaha. They are going to call me back. Hey...I'll take a free reservoir if they want to let me keep it. No thanks on the tank. I didn't say that to them of course. I'm expecting they'll have FedEx back here soon to pick the box up. I didn't even attempt to bring it inside. interesting, huh? 4 3 Quote Link to comment

I'm now the proud owner of a brand new ATO Reservoir...this thing is super nice! And I have a 25 gallon fusion Lagoon for sale if anyone is in the market for one . They said it was their mistake and they didn't want to burden me with the return so I can keep them if I want them. I couldn't refuse LOL. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment
jstuver Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I feel you on the being burned out, I keep telling my husband that I can't decide if I want to keep my 60g (that I set up not long ago) going or just keep my IM10 as I love it because it's so easy! He says I need to keep it as I love big corals haha. Your tank looks awesome as always. And holy cow on marine depot! They really are a great company to work with! 2 Quote Link to comment

Hey, I wouldn't judge if you took down the 60. I know exactly how you feel . Thanks! And Marine Depot DOES rock. But in this case it was Innovative Marine's warranty department that screwed up. But THEY rock too . On 8/3/2017 at 2:18 AM, Lula_Mae said: Wow, that is super nice! More money to spend on other things, then! Maybe macrame rope! I'm stocked up on rope for now.

jstuver Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Oh geez I don't know why I had it in my head that it was marine depot. Maybe because I stay up too late haha. I'm contemplating getting the IM 25 there is someone local selling one to replace the 60. I really like being able to look from the top down into my tank! 2 Quote Link to comment
I'm Batman Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wow so I just hopped back on Nano reef and was checking out the peninsula thread - and saw you did a downsize!!! Looks awesome! I was at my LFS the other day and they had a peninsula in the box and holy crap that thing is massive!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

I've been really bad about keeping things updated. Next week is back to school so I should have more time on my hands. Maybe . I'll try to be better though. I just took a photo this morning of the tank for IG. There's a filter on this one, but you can still see all the growth I'm getting. The tank is super healthy which makes me happy . 10 Quote Link to comment

Because MD would be awesome like that too. It's a really nice tank! You won't be disappointed if you like that style. I thought it was what I wanted, but it just wasn't for me, once I got it set up. I ended up selling that IM25 mistake last weekend. I had a ton of interest in it. So I sold it and went clothes shopping. . 2 1 Quote Link to comment

It was just too big for me. I needed something smaller for my studio and the IM10 fit the bill perfectly. You really can't go wrong with an IM tank. Even if something does go wrong, they fix it. And then some LOL. I ended up selling the "mistake" IM25 and went clothes shopping with the proceeds . Hey Jack! I don't know what is up with this site but it is screwy for me.

There was a guy that bought a bunch from me. He's up by you and was opening up a store. I can't remember the name of it now. But google reptile stores and maybe you'll find him. You can get one of mine, perhaps . They don't mind being handled at all. The more you handle them the better. Then they will be super friendly. And want to come out of their home and hang with you . They are great little creatures! When you first get them you should let them acclimate to their new home though. Very little handling for a couple of weeks or so....you can find all that information online. 1 Quote Link to comment

LOL I haven't seen a peninsula in person yet. I think they are similar dimensions though. Are you going to get one? They make them in glass now. Due to issues with the acrylic. Mine bowed, and the replacement for that leaked . Quote Link to comment

I'm trying to work on changing things now . 3 Quote Link to comment
