    How's everyone making out (roll call)

    Going on day 8 with no power yet. I am hopeful tomorrow will be the day. The SPS are looking a little less bright today so I plan to keep the generator going through the night. Propane delivery came today and I have a tree guy taking the three 80+ foot spruce down in the back tomorrow. With the...

    Going on day seven with no power. Generator is still going 50/50. Words can not express my love for the mechanical beauty. Propane is getting low so I hope there is a delivery today. Tanks are ok as are the fish, let's hope today brings back the power.

    Still no power here. Been running generator since Monday as well. Not sure when we will have power...my wife seems to think Monday. Had a fatality in the pond. Nice size koi was speared by that (PIA)heron. Fish was too big but the beak skewered the poor fella. Since going 50/50 with the...

    Same as all with generator, going since Monday 4pm ish. Running 50/50, so far in the 55 gal I still have fish alive and the corals actually look fine. Keep a wood stove stocked at night to help with the temp swings. both nano tanks are fine as well. I would love power back but as I said before...

    Like Sandee running generator 50/50. Got a propane delivery scheduled for Sat. Our Mayor in hillsborough announced that we should have power back by 11/11....since we are on the the least priority. On a positive note the corals seem not to be stressed. I will plan for a water change this...

    Still no power up her in hillsborough. We will be some time without power I'm sure. Our house generator is working well, even scheduled a propane refill this week, thank goodness. What it have been doing for my tanks is power off from 1PM to 4PM. Then again from 10 PM to 6 AM. I do not have any...

    So I have decided to do load shedding to conserve propane in the event we are without power for 10+ days and unable to refuel. First thing, get wood stove going to get the house up to 76. Then at 10PM it was power off. Putting wood in the stove every 3 hours and so far coral and fish seem ok...

    Pretty bad here too. Worse than the ice storm last year. I am thankful for our house generator, but we only have enough fuel for the next 7 days. I hope we can get a propane refill by then or we are out. My wife seems to think we have about 2 weeks before power! She asked why we just don't turn...

    No power here since 4 pm yesterday. Lost some roof shingles on the house. Generator still working fine. Have about 6-7 days of fuel before needing a refill. Everyone is safe.

    Three huge spruce trees lifting up taking a huge swath of yard with them. Seems to be going away from the house but my bee hives there never stood a chance. At least the house is safe.

    Man the wind is whipping here! Sounds I have never heard in all the 8 years of being in this house. Branches hitting the roof!

    Serious gusts of wind here for 2 hours or so. Weird to watch huge trees bend so far yet not snap. Hope it passes and power gets back on line, problem is we are last on the priority list for pes&g....sigh.

    Sunny, you were right about the whole house generator. Systems are operational with not even a burp.

    Well, it's nap time for the kids, wind is howling here in hillsborough and I am doing a mental note of what the tree guys need to take this march! I guess that's what you get for having woods for neighbors! Alass I digress. I know I have seen and been warned of the aggressiveness of some...

    Brown Algae, Diatom Algae?

    I like my Reef Octopus skimmer on my 55 that's rated for a 120. So for my mixed reef I cycle with 12 hous on and 12 off. When I had it on all the time I think my water was too clean. By cycling I keep zoas,lps and sps happy. Even better is when I upgrade next year the skimmer stays.
