No special time really. Preference would be before 5:30pm or so just because I'm trying for the best ribs ever cooked tomorrow and those lsat thirty minutes are pretty important, but that's when several will get off work so no biggy. :-)

We will be open until 8 if no one can stomach the ones you cook.

lol!

by matt_longview Thu 01 Mar 2012, 10:29 pm

Maybe I should buy some of ya'lls and blind test my wife! Haha.

It's gonna be legit. I'm gonna post tons of updates on facebook so I'll just update the ribs in the open forum tomorrow too. Lol.

I'm still hoping to find some apple wood chunks tomorrow morning. :-D

TRACKING UPDATE:
Both orders are in transit and scheduled on time "Mar 2, 2012 by 10:30 AM". That's the hard part. The rest of the trip is to Dallas by midnight or so, to Tyler by 4 or so, to my doorstep usually around 9:30 from Fedex (but guaranteed by 10:30).

The divers den is making a stop in Memphis.... Which makes me think gabe.... Maybe I should throw some slaw on a rib sandwich??? ;-) lol

I'm such a food loser. It's basically my second hobby.

Blasphemy!

by matt_longview Fri 02 Mar 2012, 9:49 am

Hahahaha. Well don't worry. I wasn't actually going to do that. Tried it in Nashville though. Just had to see what the deal was! Why go anywhere but loveless cafe up there though??? Dang they got some biscuits.

Back to corals. The shipments have both landed in Shreveport. :-)

by Yeti Fri 02 Mar 2012, 10:08 am

I see one shipment from WI arrived in Longview 3 minutes ago, dam that is fast.

by matt_longview Fri 02 Mar 2012, 10:18 am

Yes, they're both in Longview now! :-)

Just waiting for that "out on truck for delivery".

heading to a team lunch then off to the bank so i should be there around 1pm start the acclimation and by the time I get home tonight they should be good to go.

by matt_longview Fri 02 Mar 2012, 11:35 am

Sweet! If everyone can let me know when you're a few minutes out I'll get everything ready for you.

by matt_longview Fri 02 Mar 2012, 12:46 pm

Everything is in (reefpods too) and looks good. The fish are hard to tell because they're in half black bags, but everyone is alive and doesn't appear to have labored breathing.

Divers den was packed extremely well. Live Aquaria order was okay. They should have done two boxes or a larger one. Heat pack was right on top of bags because there was no room in between.

by Terrys1991 Fri 02 Mar 2012, 12:53 pm

good deal Matt I'll be by at noon

by ritter678 Fri 02 Mar 2012, 9:47 pm

Thanks again Matt for placing the order!

cheers

by matt_longview Fri 02 Mar 2012, 9:53 pm

You're welcome!

If anyone has any losses let me know and I'll send them on to liveaquaria. We'll see if they will refund, if it's a store credit we'll transfer to your username with them or hold until the next buy.

Thanks Matt, the Flame Angel is doing great.

by matt_longview Fri 02 Mar 2012, 10:41 pm

Glad to hear! I think it was fine the whole time... I was just paranoid and being careful!

by matt_longview Sat 03 Mar 2012, 12:27 am

So here's my pride and joy from the order. The Undata frag... Cell phone pic, unedited, blue LEDs only.

Good timing too!!! It's not on sale anymore!!!

by ritter678 Sat 03 Mar 2012, 12:38 am

First in line when you sell frags! I called dibs on Aaron's frags too so...Start growin guys. Smile

I almost got a frag of this from Copps but I went with the Tyree flower pedal Monti instead, which almost died but I saved a wee nub.

by matt_longview Sat 03 Mar 2012, 12:57 am

I'll just trade you for a flower pedal monti when we're ready! Lol... I think it's obvious all of us would rather have coral than money! Haha!

by Yeti Sat 03 Mar 2012, 2:27 am

What time tomorrow suits you? (((Not to early please)) I'll be leaving the acrylic for you to play with, and 2 sheets of black for Jason, for him to pick up.

by matt_longview Sat 03 Mar 2012, 2:40 am

Nothing special... just preferably not later in the evening. :-)

by Yeti Sat 03 Mar 2012, 2:54 am

OH no way, would always be at a "sociable time"

by grawlfang Sat 03 Mar 2012, 10:43 am

So far so good, the fish aren't eating yet, but I did a major nono last night I rearranged the tank 4 hrs after putting the fish in Smile

but the tank looks awesome and will update with some pics Sunday.

by matt_longview Sat 03 Mar 2012, 11:16 am

Sweet. :-)

Glad it's looking good!

by ritter678 Sun 04 Mar 2012, 6:47 pm

RBTA...so far so good. My shell trick didn't work with this anemone. It left the shell quickly but hasn't moved an inch since it parked in this spot.

Not sure how they measure these nems on DD but expanded is much larger than the 2 inches it was sold as. The foot may be 2 inches.

I haven't noticed it actually bubble yet but I've read they may or may not. I did notice ONE of the tips were bubbled before I disturbed it this morning doing a water change. I really don't care as long as it is healthy and eventually makes me some clones.
