Agent003 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just got my tank today...I bought it specifically for the contest and then to have on my desk at work. This should be fun times. Right now it is just sand and water. Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Actually I have to withdraw... I walked into the room with my tank sitting in a puddle of water with a big crack down the middle. I wonder if there is a design flaw with the glass on these tanks. Has anyone else heard of this happening? Link to comment
Travis Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I've seen many NCs crack, even those that were on flat surfaces. Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 ur the second one in the contest to have their tank crack. i thought they had fixed this problem. note to self: remember not to order tank until tanks stop cracking upon entry. Link to comment
tMoney Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 wow, that stinks. I hope it dosen't happen to my 12dx :ermm: Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I have never been in awe of customer service, until today that is. I emailed Chris at www.nanocustoms.com where I bought the tank. He called me no less than 10 minutes later to let me know that he was shipping out a replacement today! If there is any way to build a customer relationship for life, its with service like that. I also contacted JBJ and they seemed cooperative, so if anyone else runs into this problem I suggest contacting both JBJ and the dealer. I've never had a problem like this resolved in a half hour. Amazing. Needless to say, I'm back in the contest Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 very good to hear. note to self: order from nanocustoms. Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 I'm not sure if its necessary, but here's some vegetable juice in my replacement tank. Link to comment
adinsxq Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 not necessary, good to see you back in the game Link to comment
crrichey Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Wow, that is odd to have 2 tanks crack in the same contest, that has me a bit worried, good think I order my tank from chris too! Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 The tank is now safe and up and cycling. Here's my designated damsel. Link to comment
timb000 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 ahhh damsel cycling. Im sure it will give you more points! Link to comment
crrichey Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yikes, cycling with a damsel is a no-no in my book! Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 The damsel was in a 5 gallon, and was in a 2.5 gallon before he was given to me. He keeps upgrading. If he plays his cards right he might get to cycle a 10 gallon some day Link to comment

burnah Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 same here, although this fish looks awesome Link to comment
crrichey Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 As an addition, awsome little fish, as a tool, Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 The sand is seeded, so he won't suffer. No need to call PETA Link to comment
Travis Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Those little fish are MEAN!!! My sister had one in her 10 gallon and it killed any and every fish she placed in the tank with him. Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 They are so territorial that you will need much more than 10 gallons if you want to keep one of these with any other fish. Link to comment
Travis Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, she got rid of the litle guy. Link to comment
Agent003 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 I decided that I'm leaving my damsel in. Damsels always get crapped on, so the theme of my tank will be: A Damsel's Paradise I will attempt to create the type of underwater paradise that damsels never get to see. They are usually passed up for more entertaining or colorful fish and they never get to enjoy the finer things in life. Well, things are about to change... Link to comment
