I would still tell the shipper about the quality of the delivery

 

[Coral reefer]

They never want to let you inspect

 

[richiev]

That picture is crazy. I'd tell the shipper for sure and also IM. "Yo check this out; not going to affect my warranty right?"

I give delivery guys a break. Not that best paying job and they've got a lot of stops to get done. That's egregious though. Guy definitely should've handled that better and noticed it was going off. That's a crazy angle and even crazier that it was going on long enough to get a picture.

The tank wobbles with a gentle shove. Emailed IM for advice. @Beanju does your wobble?

Hung the lights. The 60" light bar is made of 1/4 aluminim and spray painted with some water resistant paint. If I have to remake the bar, I'd go with 1/3" thick. It will spill light on the left and right. Going to move them inside by 3" each side and re-center the 360x. Will hide the cords inside a cord cover. Planning yo get 90 degree usb-c adapter so the klink cable between the two 360x doesnt stick up too high.

 

[Beanju]

It does wobble but they say it’s normal

Would recommend to put a 80/20 bar 1010 series
Made some support for it so xr30 can slide on it

 

[popper]

Adding rocks. I'm clumsy, didn't want to take any chances scratching the tank.

 

[popper]

Velcroed the block to the tank. The five valves are same height from the floor.

 

[popper]

Added entire 16oz. bottle of Dr Tim One and Only on 4/25.

 

[popper]

Today 4/26 water begins to clear up. Will move rocks over from the 100g. Tank gets a little sun light from upper right corner.

these rocks were covered in crap. Bleached them for a day, soaked them in rodi another day, let dry, soak in new salt water for a day. Added to tank.

 

[popper]

Added these from a healthy, ichless, disease-free nano tank shutdown. Therefore didn't qt them. Had them in cage for 24 hours for observation. Cleaner shrimp, dotty back,
royal gramma, watchman goby and a designer clown.

Yep, which is even better since it's just as pretty and WAY more chill.

Are they all Caribbean or some come from other places? If so what’s the difference/how do you tel where it’s from?

The dottybacks tend to be of the genus pseudochromis
And native to Indonesia

The gramma complex are Caribbean
