Good morning everyone! Once again I was a victim of not getting notifications last night but this time I even checked and there were no new post here. I know Joel had a great evening and I hope everyone else did as well!

Good morning. I have issues with some posts not showing up at all. I usually only know I'm missing posts when someone else quotes it in a response.

That's exactly what happened last night I seen one or two post then nothing until this morning and then the post that weren't there last night showed up.
 
How your structure is going on @Katrina71 ?
How are your fishes and corals @Calmwaters ?
They are all doing well thank you! My devils hand is finally growing and getting better I have seen it move around a small amount in its recovery container.

Good morning/night! The scape is slow. It takes a long time to glue each piece and cover the glue. I call that part grouting. I have some rock to bleach outside if it stops raining for a couple of days. How are the Midas and tailspot? I have always been reluctant to mix them just because of body type.

Hope spring will come with a better weather. I am pretty sure it will be a beautiful centerpiece. Midas and tailspot no issue at all, since yesterday they share the barnacles condo. My midas goes out only for food and spend her time looking what others do.

The Barnacle Condo! I knew that was the perfect name.

It’s gonna be cuteness overload with those two in there - and of course we all love pictures so keep them coming

I completely lost Amanda’s/will’s/remis/parkerss threads. So much to catch up on
 
The power went out on entire street tonight- only for 20 minutes but those were the longest in my life.

We don’t get them very often, maybe once a year for 10 minutes; so not generator worthy. I’ve been meaning to pick up the VorTech Battery Backup since I still have my pair of MP40’s from my old tank; however it’s not cheap- but a lot cheaper than losing everything

Currently, there isn’t a battery backup made for my Red Sea gyres, nor pumps.

What does everyone use as backup?

I have nothing I should buy a battery air stone. heater for me should not be a big issue. But anyway finger crossed.
