The only reason I am giving 1 star is because this board doesn't allow giving none. Trust me, 1 star is entirely too much!\r

5+ years in reefs and saltwater tanks, and yes, sometimes a fish gets lost, but this particular experience warrants an honorable mention of warning: \r
\r
First time I ever shopped there. I bought 4 SW fish, all appeared OK in the store, but all 4 died in quarantine. \r
\r
The first - a long nosed hawkfish dead the second day. the second a Yellow Watchman goby, dead on day 3. The 3rd and 4th were a blenny and a cherub angel dead on day 5. \r
\r
The QT tank doubles as a pod and algea propagator, as well as a snail breeding tank. All species purchased were compatable, and since they came from the same water source, no reason to separate through quarantine. NEVER before have I had such a loss of new fish, even if they showed symptoms of illness which required removal to a hospital tank for treatment. \r
\r
Without knowing what the heck came into my water with these fish, I am tearing down the QT - getting rid of everything, as in destroying - and then bleaching the @#$$%! out if it - filters, rock, skimmer, powerheads, EVERYTHING. \r

One encounter with Tropical Treasures has cost me significantly. NEVER NEVER AGAIN!!!
