Agree much better then adding the damsels.

Hmm not sure the last part..but yes you want a tight fit you are ok.

Nice job on the frag holders....looks like this weekend will be up to 60 you should be in good shape.

+1 do some water changes and add some bacteria seeding...either live live rock or one of the additives.

Thanks David. Will be an option for sure.

Sounds like a good setup. So the outlets only come on when the power goes out? How long will the setup run? Thanks for the good idea. Yes the one sole survivor was smart/lucky enough to go up and just lay there on top of some zoas before the temp ever got back up he was fine after the water...

Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone....I really hated to post anything but I needed it like confession or something. Hope my mistake pushes someone to get a battery backup that saves their fish. I am just mad at myself more then anything I hate making mistakes that cost the guys their lives...

Yep a very very good idea...I am either going to do that or go with the Vortech with a battery backup. May be my Christmas gift to myself.

If there is a place you can put the fish room behind the DT in another room for instance that is a great alternative. Ed had that setup which was very nice.

I have the GE 10K with whole house monitor...basically a smaller unit that has the "smart" transfer switch. My house is not big and I have nat gas heating, and a newer super efficient furnace/AC. Unit was about 2500, install 2200 and permits another 300 so about 5K total that was just about...

That would be a good idea...but they are run off of my controller. I have two heaters for what it is worth. Think it was low O2 that got the fish. The GFI hasn't kicked off much and not for a while to be honest. Sort of chalking it up to really crappy luck. That said I think I will probably...

I got a 10k GE unit....found a local guy to install did a great job with some real SOB inspectors. Was a little over 2k which was well below other quotes I got.

Hippo and sailfin tang, bangaii cardinal, yellow assessor(I actually found him), coral beauty, female clown. I had some since I set up the tank in 2008. Yes I have a whole house generator, which took me through Sandy and Irene. But this was just the GFI, I don't know if the power surged or...

So got home from a the long weekend and I saw as I pulled into the driveway my lights were out on the tank. Every fish except "Nemo" a Hawkeye clown was dead. Tank was 65 degrees same as house and obviously the bigger fish didn't have enough O2. Corals are OK except a couple caps, nems are...

Permits, electrical, and fire inspections PITA

I remember the first ones had like metal wheels...then my cousin got one with the new wheels and bearings and I found out they went much faster. I took most of the skin off of my left hand that day.

+1 I have the same thoughtI have added a couple pieces to my tank lately....but you have to find the right look I think. The left hand structure is really cool, wouldn't change much about that side.

Yes and the remote was..."son go change the channel"

I don't know what that black stuff was....good question...and you had the screw in light bulbs with metal fixtures that got hot as heck.

My first tank was a 5 Gallon with a slate bottom and metal corners.
