windy on this side of town...last night all my gear got sand blasted, was out in no mans land on dirt roads....have to clean all my gear before next shift in a few days...

No good! It was super windy on the west side yesterday afternoon and last night but it's pretty calm out here today. I was already up on the roof checking the A/C this morning. Everything looked good. A very light dusting of frost on the bottom 8-10 inches of the condenser coils, but nowhere near frozen.

My buddy had a similar experience with his Parrotfish. It pulled through but he was sure worried for a couple of days.

She has moved around a bit this morning which I think is promising. I plan on hopefully moving my turquorise rainbows and the other fish that came with Mrs.Chubby into the 120 today but I think I may leave Mrs.Chubby in the 40 long a bit longer to hopefully give her time to recover. She's a bit of a mascot for one of my freshwater groups on Facebook so I'm really hoping she pulls through.

I love gently breezy days with sunshine but not a ton of heat and humidity.

It was nice and clear but I had to mess it up again because it needed more substrate it's a mix of black sandblasting sand and safetysorb which works wonders on plants incase anyone ever wants to setup a planted freshwater tank.

wow..never heard of what your dealing with..I would think the heat would prevent that...would wrapping the pipes in that foam stuff help or make it worse...or a hairdryer on a electrical cord to the house so you can plug it in help...lol...I m only joking about the hair dryer...but has me thining must be some sort of gadget that can measure the temp of the pipe and turn on to prevent it from getting too cold and freeze....I am sure our Miami buddy knows,,,,,or did I just come up with a Mcgiver Idea us 3 can make $$$$ on...lol...Of course, I had the idea, your house is the test market and Miami can build it with his knowledge..

I think I'm going to stop using Reef Roids for a while, everything is fine in the tank but my Po4 is too high. 1.6 today

Yeah, I love Reef Roids mainly because I have to dose PO4.

Mrs.Chubby had perked up! She looks small in this picture but she is a good bit bigger than my hand. Trying to be patient while I'm waiting on the 120 to clear up so i can scape it.
