Would you be upset about this delivery, or would you just rock with it?
This is my first time really trying with an aquarium instead of just throwing in some pretty rocks I found and buying whatever species from the store. (Going for an iwagumi aqua scape and thinking maybe galaxy rasbora as the main species) So it’s the first time I’m really going for an image. I’m a little on edge because yesterday the aquarium was delivered by Amazon not only in the worst packaging but also the most reckless way I’ve seen. I know how Amazon can be and what those drivers go through but this one surprised me. I spent $100 and got a huge box of broken glass. (20 gallon long from aqueon. I did get a replacement and a partial refund of $60 after a long phone call with customer service so I’m pretty pleased with that) but now today my elephant skin stones arrive and they’ve been wrapped in the thinnest paper and just plopped in a box with no buffer to stop them from rolling into each other during transport and there are visible chips on some, and others still look gorgeous. Part of my mind is saying “dude they’re rocks, that’s how it goes” and there’s another part of me that’s wondering if people who are better experts in this kind of a thing have a higher expectation. So I just thought I would leave this here to see what opinions people might have. Will I notice the chips after I set up the aqua scape? Will it matter? I’m planning on introducing a carpet of Monte Carlo and I haven’t decided on what yet, but some thing longer in the background. Maybe some kind of longhair grass? Maybe some kind of moss? Would love to have some shrimp living with the rasbora. Is this a big deal or not? I did pay like $70 for the elephant skin stones. Again im new to this, so please be nice lol. I’m not trying to be a baby, I just want to hear from people with experience
