Well that's good news, I'm surprised to hear there's no shell rot at all though, I thought the Map looked like it had some for sure.

So now you know all the things you were doing wrong hopefully you can get it all sorted, a really good setup isn't cheap but it's well worth it, it makes keeping them so much easier and a real pleasure.
