Are you going to name the giant aiptasia?

I thought it would be rude since I’m planning on murdering him later. 🤷🏻‍♀️

See how big you can grow it to...

No power since Wednesday. Tank is barely limping along and only one backup battery pump is still going. I am switching it back and forth in the two tanks. 
hopefully soon.

I'm so glad you are OK.  As a new resident to Florida, that was quite a kick in the pants.

Then our 90 Day Nano-Reno contest came at a perfect time.  Once power is restored, you can get this tank back up to speed (and maybe even win a prize).

Yeah, I could have done without the “historic” part of my first hurricane. 

i am well and my husband is back….. that’s more than a lot of people around me right now.

Glad your ok............ tanks can be re built if livestock is lost...... and hopefully no major damage........ some of the scenes down there people have nothing left......

Saw this on reddit and immediately thought of our Florida reefers.

 

Hope everything comes through ok!

Stay safe. Hopefully they get you back online quickly. I have a couple linemen buddies that are heading that way. Pretty cool to hear that these men are leaving from around the nation to help out... 

 

This tiktok was pretty amazing seeing the amount of guys they had on stand by

People DID NOT take Ian seriously enough IMO. Large hurricanes are much like a bull dozer pushing water ahead of them and the wider they are, the more water they collect in front to be pushed ashore. I'd rather have a smaller higher wind storm than a monster like Ian was.

For a first timer I feel like the info locally was a little all over the place.

Mother Nature is not very predictable.

You need a small genny.......... especially living in the storm zone....... 

 

Hopefully power is restored soon..........

no doubt. But I’ve been unemployed for a while and have about 15k in medical debt so it’s got to wait a bit longer. 
 

Restoration estimate is Tuesday. 🤞🏻

Pink Nepthea is getting big.

Anthelia on the move 🙄

 

bad picture of my favorite crab ever. 

 

mean face with a limpet in the back doing work

I forgot those crabs even existed. Man, the hobby has really gone down in variety of stock in the recent years. How long have you had it for? I used to see 5-10 of them at the store each time I went. I don't think I've seen them in probably 5+ years now.

I’ve had that one for about a year maybe? I love how bold it is yet it never harasses anything.
 

I see them at the store down the street all the time. 

[StinkyBunny]

Stock is still down due to not getting freight space. I just got the first Sri Lanka shipment in in 3 years. I don't think I'll do another one with the shipping I was charged, Jesus!

I have noticed things are looking ever so slightly better in terms of what people are getting in. I visited a smaller fish store that I just heard of from that frag swap I went to. They aquaculture everything but fish. I'm thinking they are going to be my new lfs even though it's an hour drive.
