I have 3 hydra 26HDs over my tank. I can survive with 2 for a while.
Let me know if you need to borrow one for a few weeks/months, I'll pull it from the fixture tomorrow.
The shipping looked OK. Bags were all wrapped and then in a sytro box with some heat packs.
I think the problem was that the snails appeared to be prepackaged in lots of 25 and guessing these prepackaged groups were probably dead before they were even put in the shipping box.
So, as Amado pointed out, there was/is a big sale at Liveaquaria on snails.
I decided to take advantage and renew my cuc in all tanks.
Ordered 125 trocus, 15 cerith, 15 nassarius, 15 margarita
I received 125 dead trocus, 12 dead cerith, 4 dead margarita. For 170 snails ordered 29 arrived alive...
I'm tempted to get back into RD2 with the recent patches, but it never seems to hold my interest for too long.
I'm not against open world gaming, but I get sorta burned out. I stopped the original RD with about 80% complete, Horizon Zero Dawn at 70%, Witcher at 85%.
The only game I've completed...
I'm burning charcoal tonight for a few sirloins.
But...
I'm gonna need that Jerk Chicken recipe.
I do a mean blackened, but a good jerk recipe would be something.
Room temperature, sippin, enjoying. Casamigos Resposato. This is seriously one of the better liquors I've tried in any category, its phenomenal. To chill it would be sacrilege to Tepoztecatl.
Yep. I have a DC return pump. If/when I add a component I just kick the return power up a notch. But, even so, the drain off the return isn't that bad, so you can easily run a reactor or two, or a reactor and scrubber without too much loss on the return, just make sure to have those inline...
Today was hobby supplement day.
Refurbed a closet by painting, putting in a new floor, and adding shelving to create a hobby storage space for my wife...
and used some left over wood and some other scrap to build a shelf for hobby paints for me (still drying)...
Now going to do some D&D...
Excellent basic intro to gluing and working with PVC, lots of good tips...

And you might want to consider putting a few of these in the pvc lines...
Just jumped in, that is a fantastic tank and fantastic work on the stand and black base.
Bit odd on the copper treatment in the DT from what I understand, but as someone who doesn't QT (aside from myself and family lately), no real experience.
But I am very curious how well the cuprisorb works...
This is not a good idea.
I speak from experience. My wife had a fungal infection on her big toe and I amputated her foot. I had forgotten about the excruciating pain, all the ateries, veins, bones, and nerves and things in there and it didn't work out very OK.
Get a general antibiotic, start...
Now that I'm looking at that, and looking at prices of the other snail types, I'm guessing that should be $88.99
Edit: Just dropped a big mixed snail order, including 5 orders of the trochus. Will keep folks informed on what happens. Ha! I may start raising snails in my live rock tank in the...
MR, I can place order, say, by tomorrow evening. Give me a call or drop me a text.
Hopefully a few others in the Brick/Toms River/Point area may be interested.
Interesting as I had some problems with them as well a few months back. I ordered a mandarin, which arrived dead. They sent me a replacement, which arrived in very bad shape and was dead by the morning.
Their CS was great and they offered to ship a third but I refused as I didn't want to...
D,
I'm not a big Tequila drinker, I'm a bourbon and gin guy, but when I do drink the agave I like to sip a small glass over time, so I tend to buy nice drinking stuff.
I tried all the Casamigos varieties a few months back at a tasting, and the Reposado really stood out as top notch, even more...
