Has anybody else's packing of their fish been slack? My last 2 orders i received seemed like somebody just threw the bags in the box. My last order i had a clownfish arrive upside down with no water and was dead, they didn't honor it because it came free with the anemone which i understand. My...

is it just me or is icecap ballast pure junk? i bought 3 of them several years ago and none of them work, i am getting power to the bulb but none of them will start the lamps, the lamps are fairly new and all three worked when i had them up before, i switched to t5's because the lamps would...
