Tanuki's Ocean 180 inside!

^Thank you!  

Did you ever find out what was in your tank?

Sweet tank. What's the brand of that stand and canopy. Thanks

Okay the reason i ask is im buying a 120g tank and stand, and the stand looks the same as yours but he doesnt have the canopy for it. How do you like your stand, it looks amazing.

So last month I ordered a borbonius anthias from NYAquatic.com.  The fish died within maybe an hour or so of delivery during drip acclimation.  The fish he sent me was also about 3/4 of an inch long and looked like it had never eaten a think while at the store.  Stomach was completely sucked in and the fish looked terrible.  I called NYAquatic and Michael over there agreed to send me a replacement, but I would be responsible for the shipping fee again (so at this point I was out the cost of the fish plus two shipping charges of $50 each).  The second fish was delayed in shipping via Fedex.  Fedex told me that because it was a live animal and they do have shipping guarantees, that the shipper would be able to file a claim with them.  I called NYAquatic right away to tell them what had happened and to hurry and get the claim in motion.  A week later he returned my phone message and told me I was basically out of luck and that there is no guarantee on replacement fish and that fedex lied to me about him being able to make a claim (which is absolutely not true).  So now the whole thing is being disputed via my bank because this guy is insane.  I would not recommend anyone order from him no matter how enticing a sale he might have.  

Anyway, I went to the aquarium and they had a nice sized Blotchy so I picked it up.  I am not doing mail order on fish anymore, it is not worth the risk.  Let the Reef Shops take the chances on the health of their fish because they pay a lot less for the fish than you do, so why would you just accept whichever fish they send you anyway?  I made the mistake and won't do it again.

So yeah, here is the nice big beautiful Blotchy I ended up with.
