Al,

What's the pH of your tanks? I ask because mine is pretty high (8.2) and want to know if I need to do some acclimation, or start with an R/O mix to bring it down or what.

Thanks.

Karen,

My pH is around 7.8 or so and I've never had a problem with fish from Al. I scoop them from bag to tank.

[KJoFan]

Ok good to know. I know alot just do the "drop and plop" method, but I'm always hesitant knowing that they're probably coming to a much higher pH in my tanks. I'll have to see how I feel about it when they arrive tomorrow.

Your at more of a hazard going from high pH to low.

It's going on two and still awake. I just added a light above the tank in question. Should've done that a while back but I'm a big procrastinator at times.

[alxjss]

[renae]

Eileen what time is it there???

[alxjss]

It is now 5:48 am. I am off to work. Have to be there by 6:25. What time is it in oz?

[renae]

Oh...for some crazy reason I thought it was about 3 or 4 in the morning and you were too excited to sleep!!!
Its 10pm here...Have a good day and I hope it goes fast for you

Everyone thinks the hardest part of shipping fish is the bagging and boxing... for me its the waiting. I hate the wait to see how the fish made the trip..

so far looks like everyones fish are on track... half the crew gets them this am...the other this afternoon after work.


best of luck all.
