Those crazy clowns!

Tru2nr, great preparation for your new BTA!

Tru2nr · 03-12-2008, 09:38 AM

hehe thanks i don't want to loose my second BTA to anenome pureee...when i first tried to get a BTA i still had hang on back filters and within a day he was completely sucked up and puree'd

Tru2nr · 03-12-2008, 09:40 AM

the hard part was one of my powerheads didn't have a clip with the suction cups so it was residing in rocks so i had to zip tie it to another powerhead heh

ok i recieved the BTA this morning left work and float/drip acclimated it for 4hrs and then on my lunch break i went home and placed it in the tank i set it on a ledge and it grasped the rock imediatly and within 5minutes it was fully secured to the rock so im hoping all is well once i get home from work tonight and ill update with some pics....very excited hehe

Sounds good.
Don't worry if it moves around a bit tring to find a comfy spot. Most do not want to stay where you want them to stay. Grabbing on quickly is a good sign.

yeah i figured as much i have to give reef scavangers alot of credit they were real nice and super helpful about the first BTA arriving dead and instantly sent me out a new one...the new one however was about half the size of the dead one so i will include that in my email response back to them but thats the only complaint that i have and that still doesn't even bother me...but some of the best customer service that i've received in a long time especially in this hobby where people think that they are smarter then everyone and are jerks or just flat out don't believe u and where i put it wasn't really where i wanted it to be but just the easiest location to place it away from other corals i have a feeling im going to be having to move my frogspawn or my acans heh

Glad to hear of the good experience. You should write it up in vendor experiences so it won't get lost in this thread.
As far as the size you would be amazed at how they can shrink and expand. Hold off a day or two before saying something about the size. It will probably expand when it gets comfortable.

Tru2nr · 03-12-2008, 03:59 PM

yeah i mean im not gonna email and cry and whine was just gonna kinda understate it like it was a little small but im so extremely pleased or somethin u know

wonderloss · 03-12-2008, 04:12 PM

Anyway, size does not really matter.

Tru2nr · 03-12-2008, 04:40 PM

haha yeah just don't let the women hear that one they'll try n tell ya otherwise

Dentoid · 03-12-2008, 05:32 PM
