Another beautiful tang Chuck!

Thank you! I bought it over a month ago from the Diver's Den in Live Aquaria. The day that they were supposed to ship, they called and said that the tang wasn't healthy enough to ship and said they would credit back my CC. Two weeks later I get a call telling me that it is now ready to ship and wanted to know if I still wanted the fish, to which I said "YES". A little nervous about it's condition and that fact that they were shipping it to me with the local temperature in the teens,the tang arrived in great shape and has done very well in the tank.

Once again LA delivers on superb customer service. Nurse the fish back to health and then ship it to you? very impressive.

I've had this happen a couple of times in the past and never heard from them again, or received the fish. I assume that they never made it. One has to wonder that if the fish are quarantined prior to listing the fish on Diver's Den, how their health can change over night after being listed. Anyhow, I was very happy to get this one and couldn't be more happy with the condition of the fish when it arrived.

Well, they impress me considering the gigantic volume they do and you rarely hear of someone being unhappy. DFS does a wicked volume too...something like 2 semis outbound per day, and their service has always been good IMO.

Don't get me wrong, they are a great outfit, both for live and hardgoods. Yesterday, I ordered frozen foods and got a call from them last evening telling me that my order was shipped in two boxes, but the shipping department shipped me three boxes. (Maybe it's a Christmas present). They told me to give them a call when the boxes showed up and they would issue a call tag for the mystery box.....

The gal said they thought it was a dog bed, but they weren't sure.

As many tangs as you have purchased from them, they should send you a gold plated algae feeding clip or somthing of that sort

I couldn't be so lucky, the shipment just arrived and the third box contained a single bottle of Coral Plankton which can't be frozen, hence the separate box.

Congrats on the tang, it's beautiful, and I hope you're feeling better. Saw about the radiation, doesn't sound fun. Hang in there!

Thank you! Finally finished up 4 weeks of radiation treatments and other than some skin irratation, and a little weight loss, seemed to have made it through it all. Will be nice not to have to make those daily trips in the afternoon to the hospital anymore.

Congratulations. Now we just need to hear from the doctor that it worked and you are back to 100% Chuck again.

[tangdiver]

Thanks Marc! I have to sit back a wait a while until the beginning of January before I learn any more from the Dr's. In March, they are going to repeat the PET scan which should show if every thing worked as planned. Gives me some time to get caught up on some things that I have had to let slide with the tanks.
