eTropicals

On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being perfect, I will rate eTropicals a 9.

First, I will say a friendly LIVE person answered the phone when I called to ask a question.

Next, my mom ordered my Reef Diversity Pack on Thursday morning at 7:57 AM and it was delivered to my front porch on Friday morning at 11:30 AM.

All items arrived alive and appeared healthy and in the quantity I ordered. (Although they were smaller than I imagined.)

Shipping was free and the entire package cost $89.99.

Here is a photo journal:

Sturdy styrofoam box.

Chill packs!

Perfectly sealed and inflated bags with all critters individually packed by species.

My favorite arrival!

Congrats on the CUC..Look at it this way,..They will grow, and are prob young... which means they will have a longer life in your tank..

Very nice!

It's nice to see a vendor who knows what they are doing.

Very nice clean up crew.. I didnt realize that Etropicals was Drs foster and Smiths.

I knew Drs fosters was also called live aquaria but not etropicals too..... Things that make you say hmmmmm

I noticed the same thing. Looks like everything was packaged well to give it the best chance of survival.
Great pics of the process.
Thanks

Only gave a 9 because of the super tiny size. The hermits were all smaller than a pencil eraser. But I agree that means they will probably be alive longer in my tank because they are so young.

I'm usually not but my back woke me up. Usually sitting hurts less than lying down and I am still so behind on threads. It is driving me crazier than usual.

Getting lots of water today while hubby plays with plumbing.

weekends give me time to work on my tank, water change and some cleaning, its what i look forward to. It is my relaxation
