Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
keep us informed Kevin, stay safe
Sirens going off and local news is instructing us to head to the basement, trying to figure how to get my tank down there!

The tank, although it seems small, is too heavy to move in a short time. The tank is going to be fine, you and the family stay safe.
 
Glad you got the all clear. I have no idea what to do with a tank in that kind of emergency! Drain and buckets? Probably no time for even that :-(
Ya, I don’t think anything can be done, what a way to have a tank crash!

I imagine that this situation must be stressful, @kevgib67 if you can prepare some strong wood to act as a fortress to put around the tank, it would be a good idea.

Hopefully it never comes to it. I’m sure you get tornadoes in NY, just no snow :winking-face: .

What we have here are hurricanes from June to November, and we need to have a good A/C because the heat in summer goes up to 100

I got your location mixed up with Walker’s. Hurricanes offer the same potential. We go to Ft. Myers every year. Hurricane Ida was coming and supposed to go through Tampa. Our deposit was due and my wife decided to hold off paying it. From a satellite photo both buildings were gone, 12 of us stay there, and the 7-11 on the corner was gone. A tank would have never made it.
 
@luis angel , how is the wrasse and goby?
Now I'm heading home but from what my wife told me the attacks have calmed down a bit but one of the clownfish joined the attack it seems
 
Joel, waiting to hear how your day was.
Thanks for asking Kev!
Super crazy in the morning but died out about 1:30.
Just getting ready for crazy mom's day tomorrow.
I guess there is a 60 team lacrosse tournament in town. :astonished-face: :oops:
Where's @Reef Devils when you need him....
