Good news!!
Got a call from SWF.com today. They still don't have the small juv queen (2in), BUT they have a 3-4 inch - so they're sending me the larger queen for the cost of the smaller (would normally be 129 rather than 69). Order should be here sometime this week!
I tell you guys - I've had nothing but great customer service from SWF.com. Kim is great. This will be my 6th order from them overall. nothing but good stuff so far...

Dang! That is excellent news! Everytime I hear of excellent deals like yours, I get closer and closer to making my first order from SWF.com!
Can't wait to see it!

yeah, you won't be disappointed. I was skeptical at first. But compared to my local fish store options, SWF.com can't be beat. What I like the most: the quality, the 15 day guarantee, the specials - like the limit 1 items, the free stuff (more orders = more free. 10 jade hermits free this time, free sally lightfoot last time, etc), and their customer support. Ok... enough of the commercial for swf.com, but with how well they've treated me, I guess I owe it to them.

I've never been disappointed with SWF.com Yea, the queen angel was DOA but I don't think that was their fault and all other fish I ordered from them were very healthy.
Can't wait to see your new fishies. When are they due in?

Hey Hef ! How are you -? Glad to see the tank back in order. I love the idea with the PVC. Tank looks great. Keep up the good work. I definitely learned a lot from you. Can't wait to see the Queen. What a great deal. As for me, I haven't been around in a while, my tank ended up leaking a few weeks ago. On the right side of the tank, the side glass opened up about a 1/2 inch and leaked. So the owner came by yesterday and fixed it with a 1in by 1in glass support and he put it at all four corners. He said it will hold. But since I got the tank, its been nothing but bad luck, so its up for sale. So I'll keep looking at your thread for my enjoyment, until I get another tank. By the way, how wide is your tank -?

I thought they would ship them yesterday for arrival today, but according to my order status, it went from pending to processing today - so I hope they'll ship it today for tomorrow arrival.

shoot man, that stinks. yeah I know you've had a bit of bad luck. sorry to hear about the tank. while you're taking a break, you ought to keep an eye out for a good deal on a used tank - skim newspapers, garage sales, and craigs list. every once in a while you can get a steal like I did on the 180. and remember: all aqueon tanks have lifetime guarantees on tanks 55gal+ now. They were awesome with replacing the 180.
my dimensions are 6'x2'x2'.

Well, a quick update w/ pics. Things are going well. Everyone is eating well in the QT, except that I've only got the Lion to eat ghost shrimp so far. The angels eat EVERYTHING. Both angels eat pellets, fresh seafood blend, nori, and even the ghost shrimp too. The queen doesn't bother the emperor, so that's good. They've been in QT for almost 2 weeks now... no signs of illness at all. 2-3 more weeks and to the DT!
Well, here's some more pics.

an interesting addition to the 180.. eh? A knobby starfish. Seems to be doing well. Nobody is bothering him, even the wrasse.
