The $25 I spent for corals that died within a week sure was a waste. I acclimated the corals just like I would do for any coral I get, but to have them all die within a few days really sucks.
I do feel for the loss that Jason had to go through, but do feel if it were any other retailer online or not, people would have requested a replacement or reimbursement.
Sorry for the rant, and please understand that I mean no disrespect. I’m really bummed with the amount of people loosing most of not all of the contest frags within a few days. Not to mention the reaction my wife had after she read this thread when she heard me cussing.

Yea I agree completely. I went straight home, acclimated my frags and placed them low where I know I won't burn them. I put the sps under the t5s since I knew Jason uses t5s. I'm no sps expert but I know how to acclimate and my tank is doing pretty good right now with PE.

yeah I just checked and most people on the list posted something. I know they were checking off our names during pickup so someone should know who's in it still

Yes- the prize money from the SPS gets redistributed to the zoa & LPS prize $
Completely Unfair for prize to get distributed to others if SPS part was doomed from the start

sooooo the people who bought only zoas or lps benefit from others buying a dying/dead sps? not trying to cause trouble just trying to make sense of it.
I am also confused with the redistribution idea if the majorities sps are dead within the first week of the contest

I think some still have there's alive so they might get pissed if we start over, not to mention the pain it is to get everyone here again.
I don't think my tank's at the shop are ready for any sps right still tryring to get it back online...
but im open to w/e
I will have to agree with Six2seven when he said it is not a contest if 90% cant participate.

Can we all get replacements? looks like we can all agree we were all sold unhealthy frags.
I second that

Yeah my SPS rtn'd before I could even pick them up. haha


Here's my LPS:


Here's my zoas, but it seems pretty soft and possibly fungus. Hoping it holds up, looks like it might melt and float away.
