You needed to call them? They didn't call you? Hmm. That's not very professional of them not to warn you if they knew there was going to be a severe backup like this.

I used a lil trick for quick cycles ;)

Care to share your secret?

Congrats on getting your Idol to eat, truly beautiful fish. And the Achilles is probably my favorite of all Tangs- I WILL have one someday!

Sorry to hear about the delay in your tank, I'd be pretty pissed. I can understand the delay, but like Phyl said, they should have called you.
 
Pnoy I dont mind the wait but Stan is nice enough to hold all of my corals for me while I do this and now it is gonna be in his system that much longer taken uphis frag tanks I have ALOT of stuff hes holding for me.


Phyl I agree 100% that is the main reason Im PISSED off about it. Its not a week or 2 but a month @ least. They didnt give me a datee just sometime in the end of may. What the heck!!!

Patriot before I tell you is your screename mean that your a NE Patriot fan ???? lol j/k

I use a product called Fritz Zyme. It is nitrifed bacteria. There ar 2 diffrent ones. One will help brake your cycle down in like a week and the turbo will do it in a few days. It is very good also for adding new fish to your tank. It will add the benificial bacteria needed to handle that new fish w/o having it t produce by itself.

looks like the only the time they appear to come thru is if you complain loudly (as harryk did). They re-did his sump...but it obviously was off schedule. Good luck!
 
Alrighty then, well the owner has now just gotten back to me. He told me, as of now the tank is on rush. The 5 weeks behind they are now will make my tank delayed still but only 2 weeks not the 5 weeks they originally told me. Also willing to compensate me for a few things that happened due to the delay. I dont know what he has in mind but im waiting to from him again about it. So No def due dae but he said in 3 weeks it will be complete so im guessing May 6th

Well that would beat the END of May! Good luck, I hope it all goes according to your plan from here on out!
 
Thanks Phyll. I hope so also lol My first electric bill has arrived since the tank has been done. Normally it is $170-180 this month it is $75. Wife gave me a look lol
 
Alrighty then...... Well its been a very long time since I updated this. For those of yous that do not know already my tank was never built or delivered. I was just about to sell off eerything when Paul (Kimoyo) Came to me with a offer I couldnt refuse lol. Well he now has his own business Acrylic Imagery. Well out of the kindness of his heart he decided to offer me my tank for cost. (PLEASE DO NOT ASK HOW MUCH THAT WAS) And due o lack of money I have to sell my Dialyseas to pay for everything. Which Im totally pissed off about. But now October 25th @ the NJRC he will be displaying my tank and afterwards droppin it off to me. I had surgery last week to remove a cyst on my tailbone and can not do much so he again offered to bring it to me afterwards. All I can say is he has been amazing to deal with and amazingly generous to help me out like this even though he only knew me threw the last few years from manhattan reefs website. SO Oct. 25th the new tank will be up and started

How great that he'll be displaying it at the swap! I can't wait to see it in person. Congratulation on getting a new tank anyway, even after all of the heartache. Will you be there to see it first hand?
 
Well I got the tank today It looks amazing. Unfourtently Paul could not make it to the swap until the end. Please DO NOT ASK FOR PICS lol. I will take a few tomorrow and post them. Now I have to wait for my wood floors to be done this week and I can set this up

I had the Light Set-up diffrent but it would of been to low so I had to take the top off and mount it to the ceiling and it is the perfect height now. I will have a piece of plywood screwed into the ceiling and then the lights into the plywood.
