    Can I ask what you had ordered? Is this gonna really overstock your tank if you keep it?

    Yeah, I'm not really interested in keeping these.
    I have a 58 gal tank.
    Here is my livestock list:

    2-Occilaris
    1-Royal Gramma
    1-Firefish
    2-Cleaner Shrimp
    A couple of Xenia
    A couple groups of polyps
    various snails (20 or so) and hermit crabs (15 maybe)

    The McCoskers and the Orangespot Diamond Goby (forgot to put him on the list of things I ordered) were pretty much gonna be the last fish for this tank.

    And the corals were just getting me started.

    Unfortunatly, the only LFS here sucks. I'm not even sure they take trade-ins. And if they did, I would not want anything they have.

    So, looks like I may be looking for someone local....anybody close to Amarillo, TX. ;D

    They may let you keep it and resend what you wanted or have you ship it back then resend you your correct order.

    O.K.

    So I just spoke with Dave at the retail store-according to their website he is the "Founder, Co-Owner, President" seemed like a good guy and said they would stand behind their product and make it right.

    Their online store is at a different location and will not be open until monday.

    He said, to keep/find homes for the order I recieved (at no cost of course)
    and that either he or Shaun would call me on Monday to get me the correct shipment and schedule delivery.

    So, I have set up a temporary 5 Gal QT and will try to find homes for them ASAP.

    I will post the soulution when I hear back from them on Monday.

    ... exciting morning .... :eek:
