Muttley000 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Welcome to the forum, sorry it is under these circumstances. The best way to get ahold of Dustin is via his Facebook page. I would get ahold of him and let him know what happened. We would all like to know more about your system though, I hope you will do a biuld thread on it and formally introduce yourself.

crimsonvice Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Agreed. Try to get a hold of Dustin and let him know the situation. I think he will make it right.

Jesse Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Not sure why Dustin hasn’t posted this on our forum but there is an insurance claim with these fish dying. Make sure you guys get replacements. This should be for anyone else that lost livestock with Labo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about those members who haven’t said anything publicly out of respect for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
