okay, i bought a green xenia coral from work about a month ago. When it was in the bag on the way home, it was chipping off. So, after acclimatisingit, i could see the silicone and rock on show where the coral should be. The boss who deals with marines was off then so i couldnt complain until he got back. So when he got back, i kept on forgeting to mention it to him, until now.
On thursday i said that the coral was breaking off, what should i do? "Kepp water quality on top and dont apply too much flow to it"
Then Friday night, i needed to rearrange my tank as my torch coral was abit close to others. Picked up the green xenia, and it frigging starts falling off, showing more of the crap silicone.
Okay, thats it! Went to him saying this aint on, whats wrong with it? He said he cant do anything tonight so he'll look tomorrow which is today). So he says whats you calcium levle and i said 400. No, thats noo good, needs to be 450+ (i was like no it aint in my head, 380-450!). So he chucks it in one of their tanks, without even acclimatising it! My tank at home is at 1.024 and the ones at work are at 1.021!
So i came in today with a water sample (remember that!!!!). He said "am i adding any additives like calcium at all? "
"No not at the minute i said, everythings ok level wise and i do a water change once a week with the red sea salt. "
"YOu need to be addin some."
"But, if all the levels are ok, then why?"
"The reason for the coral to be peeling off is low cakcium or strotinium"
" Okay, but my calcium is acceptable...." then i dropped it for a day.
Now, am i right in saying that he cannot say these sorta things without testing for it? How does he know that the strotinium levels are low? He's assuming this. If this was low, wouldnt all my over corals be affected?
So tomorrow, im going in for an argument. He cannot say this as he HASNT TESTED THE WATER.
Have you ever felt the silicone on your tank? If you press your nail into it it will make a mark, right? Well this stuff holding this coral on is rock hard, does this say something?
Am i right here, do i have an argument to win lol! Or is he right? I think its just a cheaply done coral, poorly stuck together. If this was a customer, what woudl he do? In the past i bought 3 dwarf puffers, all died of internal parasite in 2 days. He said that cant have nay replacements as i already get discount...WTF
?
If he says i cant have my money back or another piece, and he offers back my coral, im refusing to accept it as it was chucked in without being acclimatised and that tank is crap anyways!
Heres the coral im talking about
