    I hope so too Cosmo. A couple of the pieces were snapped in two. I did some glueing so it's to early to tell but in my opinion they don't look to bad for their second day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed

    good luck, I'd just make sure before there 14 day guarantee runs out that you use it to your utmost ability. That sounds like a massive shipping problem because they're packaging is incredible, IMO.

    Anywho, hope it all works out

    Thanks nept2n, their in a 40b which i hope to upgrade to a 65 by next year. I hope yours come around, could been the extra travel time stressed them out a little more, both sos corals been very active and have not retracted at all. That was the first time I didn't have an issue with an order though from them. bonus corals are always nice, but not at the price of losing what you wanted.

    RJ what kind of flow do you have on your nest? direct/indirect/moderate/high?

    The water flow on the Birdnest I would say is high but not constant, he sets between 2 water movers, 1 is fixed and the other rotates, so as the one rotates he gets blasted with moderate flow from the right side, then when the one that rotates towards the Coral, he gets a good blast from the left, so its not constant from one side. I really like that rotating device I put on my powerheads, it does eliminate that constant blow from one direction all the time, hows the Corals looking?

    I don't know if you seen these things or not, but I really like it, does a great job of not having that constant flow from one direction, I like it.

    The brown mushroom is looking pale today, no change on the red candy or the nest, the one I'm still un sure of is not looking good at all. It looks worse by the day. My elegance has taken a beating from the flow so relocated it. The leathe finger (I think) is thriving. Just checked my Alk (10) cal (480) mg (1400) and zero across the board on everything else(A,N,N). I also reduced my light in case the brown mushroom is getting too much. It's funny though the other one doesn't seem to be affected.
