The link is the actual auction I won! lol. It was the double+ order. With shipping and handling and insurance the total came out to be $36.74. Not too bad, but I'll let you guys know if it's crap or not!
I have a very high level of nitrates in my tank and had my crappy protein skimmer running non stop, did water changes and everything to correct the problem, nothing worked to the fullest extent, and ended up losing all of my fish (psychadellic mandarin, bicolored angel, coral angel, neon dottyback, and my turbo snail), about $80 worth. A very expensive lesson. All that remains is a sand sifting snail, which may pose problems with the algae if I plant it. I have a 75 gal tank with a few pieces of live rock.
I'm moving soon so when we get everything re-set up in the new house I will be using the plants to set up a refugium. If you guys have any refugium plans, I would really appreciate any plans or ideas you have. In the mean time, the plants are going into the tank to help clear up the nitrates. I may get one fish, possibly a chromis to help provide some waste and carbon dioxide for the plants.
The weird thing was that all other parameters of my water were perfect, ammonia and nitrates were zilch, ph was about 8.2, salinity 1.023, nitrates were through the roof though...
Since I did a 40% water change they have dropped significantly for the time being but will probably not get too high again since there's only a snail and a bristle worm that occasionally pokes out of my live rock every once in a while.
I will definitely post on what I get and probably even post some pics to give you guys an idea of what you get when/if you are considering purchasing a lot from him. Thanks!
