so i get a call just then.....AoA..."hey mate just got your fiji pink and 2 return pumps, says return to sender check level, are you in a multistorey building?" "yeh i told the guy Level 6 when i ordered it, theres a mobile number the courier shouldve called" aghhh so frustrating i know its not their fault or maybe it is, just more pissed that these couriers cant just say hang on ill call the guy to double check its not like my job is that hard that i cant (just venting)
no mention of the other package from them....the deltec..that hasnt been returned to sender so see what happens
as someone said earlier....teaching me patience, i guess its why my last tank ended up such a mess...anyway i just want my new toys :( they're resending and hopefully next week that tees up with my tank drilling and picking up the sump (if that doesnt change too)
so...sorry guys not too many updates for ya...

AoA posted out the coral sand that they received return to sender, today so hopefully get that tomorrow or wednesday, but the pumps n deltec havent shown up yet :( ....not many smiles yet, do keep your eyes on this thread though its probably going to be the most active TJ you'll ever see haha day-by-day even
That's why you are here so much. Looking good so far leodb89
I wouldnt rule the out, dispars can get away with a two feeds every other day and a single inbetween, they are also like $15 each and look pretty cool. You could also pop an auto feeder under your hood if you are concerned
Most things I like are usually fairly common and easy to keep, you can be snobby and get rare for the sake of rare but there isnt much point IMO
I would look at two schooling type fish to create alot of colour and movement then a few interesting feature fish.
Its hard without knowing your scape and your personal preference, ATM i like really low and open scapes with the fish hanging out mid to high in the tank, If it were me stocking it and assuming I was going to put in the work, I would probably be looking at
5 dispar for the nice pink and orange hues
5 blue green chromis for the blue and green hues
2 yellow assessors for some yellow and create interested down the bottom of the tank
flame angel for the reds and as the main feature fish (be careful with your LPS and clams)
pair of clowns for entertainment and whats a reef tank without them
Generally speaking the chromis and dispars will only worry about each other, the assessors will hand out in the rock work, the flame will be the boss of the tank and the pair of clowns will just be clowns until they start breeding then may turn into the boss's of the tank to which you may be issues there. Fish being like people, there are individual personalities, things may not work out like this so you need to play it as you see it and adjust accrodingly.

so i received a package today
here's what was inside...didn't realise the grain was so tiny lol hope it doesnt cause a sand storm
Fiji Pink 2 bags
Also bought this tonight off gizmo (a reefer soon to be with the fuge)
now i have one bag of the one from gizmo but 2 fiji pink....u think i should try my luck or just throw the fiji straight into the sump DSB and buy a second one like the one above for the tank ?
