dang wish i knew you were making such a big order i would have loved to have hitchhiked on w/ your order. i would have only had 3 fish and one anemone 
you just floated them? not acclimation? sounds CRAZY to me. weren't you worried about pH or SG shock? it will only take 15-30min to get a fish acclimated to temp by floating but could take 45-1hr to acclimate to pH and SG (by adding water to bag slowly). never heard of people just floating and dumping....sounds very very dangerous to me.
38fish at once? dang...not worried about spiking anything w/ that many? yeah i realize it is 600gal+ but still.
what were the 38 fish you added. inquiring minds want to know

Nice fish shipment!!
I have to ask though.. you said you have 53 servers, but you are in sales. Sounds like you should be in IT?

You better hurry and get your order in. I'm placing another Monday for Tuesday shipping set to arrive Wednesday morning.
Shipment yesterday contained :
10 Lyretail anthias (2 males & 8 females)
8 Green Chromis
5 Sebae clowns
3 Blue Hippo Tangs
5 Hawaiian Yellow Tangs
1 Vlamingi Tang
2 Powder Blue Surgeon Tangs
1 Red Sea Blonde Naso Tang
2 Sailfin Tangs
4 Pacific Cleaner Wrasses
1 White Cheeks Tang
Head count tonight came out right tonight and feeding went well. I guess I must be lucky..(at least so far)

Anthias can be tough whether you buy 2 or a dozen. I thought about waiting on them and adding later, but the price was right. At one time, I had 9 in my 470 and am down to five which have done well and been around for more than a year. I wouldn't be surprised if the first fish I loose in this tank is an anthias. Tonight, all were accounted for.

There are more tangs on their way, Mustard tang, Achilles tang, Sohal tang, Dussimer tang, and a Yellow eye tang. As far as I know, the H&S A300 is the largest offered in the states. It's doing a great job so far, no complaints.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=9321640#post9321640 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Lunchbucket
