JesseMessykinn said:Well heres a quick Review of overall Shipping, Packing, and Livestock. Feel Free to ask any questions...
Honestly Invert bags where really small and dont have much water. The Bagging could of been a little better IMO. Shipping time from them sending to me receving was around 29 hours. UPS Didnt Show till after 4 PM (**** Them). The Bags were rather cooler Ball Park Id say mid high 60s, Being 30 Degrees and Raining kinda helped that one. No Blame for R2G on that part, But I did Request and Receive a 20 Hour Heat Pack. The Heat pack wasnt very warm, I figure it died out During Shipping. No It just wasnt actived enough IMO. As for Live Stock Ill Post the List and show from there.
Inverts:
6 Nerite Snail - Replaced with Margarita Snails(Might have ran out?)
8 Turbo Snail - Not Bad Size
6 Nassarius Snail - Not bad Size
4 Peppermint Shrimp - 2 Decent Size / 2 Tiny as Heck
18 Blue Leg Hermit Crab - Tiny Tiny
4 Mexican Red Leg Hermit Crab - Normal size
1 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - Half the size you would see in LFS If not Smaller
1 Feather Duster - Good Sized Nice crown Id say Round about 8-9 Inches long
Fish:
1Mandarin Goby Fish with 500 Pods - Good size (Didnt Really Check yet to see if he looks Starved at all).
1 Fire Fish Goby - Not bad, Mine Fin damage.
1 Ocellaris Clown Fish - Fresh from the womb. 1/3 the size of my other clown.
1 Six Line Wrasse Fish - Happy with the size, little worried at first but now swimming around happy as can be.
1 Yellow Coral Goby Fish - Not Very big but hes not as small as the clown.
Corals:
1 TriColor Orange Ricordea Florida Coral - Pick of the litter Id say, Seems to have two mouths and on the virge of Spitting?
1 Green Star Polyps Coral - like most reviews, Kinda just a Purple rubber. Ill Update on it as it come alive.
Over all Id Give em a 6 out of 10. The order has its up and downs, but No DOAs so that was nice.
Would I Order Again? - Maybe, Fish and Corals Probly Not. Im more a WYSIWYG Kinda guy. As for Invert Id say yes, cheaper to restock your clean up crew with R2G, then a LFS IMO.
Would I Recomend to a Friend? - Hmm With Caution.
Overall Im Happy.
Once again and a to Reefs2go.com
