Yes, the lottery thing isn't working out well either.

Walt has been great, and is sending replacement rock to Van. I have to cover it to the Island, but not a big deal.
Since I have rock here already, I can't really send it back to Fiji, so selling that, and everyone involved is eating a bit of cost, probably me included. Perhaps not, if I can work out one more good deal with someone starting a large tank that needs some seed rock. We'll see..
It's not a perfect solution, but reasonable, given the circumstances.

^ Yeah, it's tough to replace rock. It's not like you can just send it back. I hope it doesn't end up costing you more than you planned on spending - that's the main point.

Brad, do you need someone to pick up the rock and put it on the bus?
Or whatever transportation?

Thanks, but no. It will arrive at the airport and get transferred to Harbour Air to fly right into town here.

Now I know why this happened... it's the never win a lottery effect that I am plagued with too.

Tim, I like to believe it's a "yet" issue. Maybe this week

Well, I hope to be able to sell it all, and the difference in cost and my sale price is being absorbed by Tim. Which is great, as it's not really his fault in any way. I have almost half lined up, and I should be able to get the rest gone. Costing me more salt to cure it, as I have to do two batches now, but that's not too terrible. Overall, I think I should come out ok, and as long as I get the rock I'm after, I'll have gotten over it in a few months

I won $20 last week. Oh yeah...well on my way to the 649 cloud.

Ok, after way more time and money than I had planned, here is what the new revision of the tank looks like. Needs some tidying up, some frags not mounted yet. I have less real estate than I thought I would, and as a result, I have about 25 pieces that need to go to new homes today. Hate when that happens
