CA2OR Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Welcome to the club, I do miss my FW tank. Cichlids were my path. Both rare and common. Only fish eating killers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Ha ha, thanks CA2OR, I only deal with apistos, nanochromis, pelvicachromis, and tanganyikan shell dwellers. No murdering fish for me! I've even keep shrimp with everything except the tanganyikans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nice. glad to hear you still have FW. I am thinking of bringing up another tank myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 FW STAYS! I have too much time and money wrapped up in some rarities to kick out all of my FW tanks for some rocks with tentacles (I keed!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hey I was of the same belief. Then I went on 2 day trip to see family, came home to find that someone broke into our apartment and drank about 15 or so bottles of alcohol then proceeded to empty my dish soap into my tanks. Wanna feel your heart sink real fast? Visualize coming home to that. I had almost 10k wrapped up into my cichlids. Still bothers me to this day. I dont even like to look at the pic's from that tank, in fact I wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I know who it was. At least I am 99 percent sure. Looking forward to new pic's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I know who it was. At least I am 99 percent sure. Looking forward to new pic's. I was thinking it was probably someone who knew you and knew you were going to be away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 why didn't you pursue it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 we took it as good sign to move. We had been broken into 3 times in 2 months. We were tired of it and didn't have much in the way of proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Oh MY GOD! The tank is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and is now showing another exception. If this tank is broken I am going to go ballistic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 at least they didn't say something stupid like "natural disaster" UPS=late delivery and excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 The only other time i've scene the status as "exception" was when they broke the last tank. I'm getting nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 They are good for that too. I recieved a light via ups and got the hook up on a broken bulb, 2 cracked shields, and a nice forklift impalement hole. Thanks UPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 This would be the second attempt at shipping this tank. I just can't believe this. INSANITY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Michael, that really sucks dude. If it happens again, come see me about the alternative we talked about. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedRed Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 This is what happened when the first tank came in: and this is the stand that actually made it to my door : This is the new tank: The new tank looks like one of the above, and not the one that made it to my door. I am going to go ballistic on UPS tomorrow if it's broken. Nothing less than free overnight will be acceptable. The dang UPS handlers need to pay attention to the word "FRAGILE" written all over the box. I feel bad for the company shipping it as well. I hope UPS is reimbursing them in full.

(scratch) i googled it and came up with this http://www.grahamazon.com/over/2007/04/product-medred/ you make cool shirts? lol I've been MedRed since 1999. It's a coincidence that there is an actual product MedRed. I just used product MedRed as a play on product Red after it came out. I have wondered if the person selling the product MedRed shirts saw my name on a forum somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
