She posted to a forum ...
"does this look good or bad?"
Some of the folks said they'd love
to have those rocks she had!
She told them the sizes were too big
and the shapes were too round,
It didn't have coralline algae
and it looked like a mound.
The hobbyists told her that
coralline can also be green ...
She knew that, BUT STILL ...
it's not like the live rock she had seen.
At the message board,
she was disappointed and sad,
And told the kind folks there that
the company told her "TOO BAD !!"
She'd taken photos of her rocks ...
some in the box and some in poor light,
And demanded of the company
to hurry and "make this right!"
Causing her great upset
was her own quote
Of an e-mail to the company,
in which she wrote
About raising the s.g. and
pouring salt into her tank ...
Her posts to the forum
decribed how her heart sank.
Birdfish stepped in to say
he did not agree
With what Damselblue had done
with the hyper-salinity.
She said she had read about this
on another website,
And she said that other reefers
told her this was right.
She exclaimed that she
"did not pour salt all over the rocks!"
And, that the papers,
"I assure you, covered nothing special in the box!"
It didn't seem to matter that
the company had been conversing
Or that fellow hobbyists had explained
that her rock needed nursing,
She stated that she would
not be able to aquascape,
That she was sent no variety,
only boulders with no shape.
She insisted the company was
not credible and was not being true.
And so began the perils of Damselblue ...
The End
(of my little poem that is)
Now let's get back to "The Thread!"
