Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
If you read our other post you know we still do not have power and moved everything we could out of our tanks. I have a few questions for those out there when our power does come back on
The tanks are sitting stagnant about half full with live rock and sand in them. We left a bunch of inverts...
As many of you know, we lost power around 10 30 pm Wednesday and we still do not have it back on. We live on the second floor over a business and are just renting. I had a dremel and drill charged just in case to provide water movement in our tanks (12g 20g 30g) and felt pretty good if we lost...
We are going on 24 hours without power still not on. I will give a full update tomorrow been posting from my cell for the last day. I am very lucky my parents lived close and had power. This weekend will be interesting, will be asking a lot of questions tomorrow.
I guess I am a reefer now, tank crash. Everything has been moved to my parents house. Minimal fish loss we will see with the corals. Big thanks to gregw and mikem for their help and offers we will see how things go. Everyone should buy a generator
So we just lost power as well and it looks like the whole street did not good. Now I charged my dremel and we can attach something to it to stir the water surface. Problem is three tanks so for how long and at what intervals to run it
These were not zoas but green star polyps. I will post a pic later. But on a rather funny note, my wife decided to try and frag the whole GSP colony today while I was at work. I came home to find the tool kit out with the hammer and screw driver out. She did not go for the dremel tool, just the...
Watching my wife work on her summary judgements while playing video games and surfing the web. Though a beer does sound mighty good right about now. I did work today until 1:30, then they closed the office.
Does your tank have a cover/canopy? That bluespot will jump if you don't. As far as cleaners vs fire shrimp go, we have a pair of both in our 20g. Fire shrimp generally are very shy and hide a lot and you might not see them. The best thing to do it get a pair which makes them more adventurous...
Switched to rain on the coast here, so I am in the office. Probably not going to be a full day considering another wave should come through this afternoon.
Be careful with those GSPs guys, they can become a problem. We started with this in march:
This is august:
Now it looks like this (and you cannot see the back of the live rock that is completely covered:
Be careful if you have sensitive skin, it stung my wife's hand and has left a mark for...
Without a doubt take a trip to Aquatic Obsessions, their sponsor page is down below. Great selection and reasonable prices. Ocean Gallery II is also another great one and in the same area along with Red Sand (I have never been there, only heard good things).
Any BULB longer than two feet, you can always ask. I know people have bought fixtures through them in the past, and it is free to ask to save some money.
