Mine have become my favorite corals! I love the pink pop they get under a little evening red light. Well you're officially apathy of the Smorgasbord dendro brother/sisterhood. Just gotta fit you in somewhere on the motif.

Not sure how many the original one was rated for. I will be sure the new one is higher. The tank has a skimmer, return pump, lights, two heaters, UV light and that is about all. But it is a 270ish gallon square tank. And I have no idea how old anything is.
It appears the wall socket can handle the amperage for the tank, I would get a more heavy duty power strip from a big box home store, they don't look like the average power strip and can easily handle higher amperage without tripping. Most homes have 10 to 15 amp wall receptacles. so most home use power strips are not rated for more than that . I would also check to see if when you plug it into the wall socket that it does not slide in easily and feel loose. If so the wall receptacle needs replaced.

This tank is in a veterinarian clinic. The electrical box comes from the floor. And up into the tank cabinet. Nothing was loose. I believe I can sort out the power strip now.

Just hoping to get personal information input on a way to get alerts. I never want this to happen again.

Thanks so much

Good morning, all.

In case any of you missed it, @Paul B won the 2025 Mariner of The Year award last night. Once again, huge conrats, Paul!

Hoping everyone has the kind of day that makes you feel like the MOTY!

And eat a taco.

Keeping us busy! Little dude is 6 months already. So hard to believe.

Context of this post. The cake in front wasn't a "Cake", it was a butternut squash with some whipped cream on it. Did he try the whipped cream? No, he was too busy making a mess. Also had to end the photo shoot early because he toppled backward off the blanket into the yard. He was fine, just ready to be done after that.

I think @OrchidMiss got herself a little lost and like the post about Shrek, three posts above this one.

Will you be gracing us with your presence more often or can I breathe easy?

When you talk to mother nature can you ask her to send us some rain please? I need the grass in my pasture to grow and is not going to happen without rain...
