Geez it would be cheaper to replace my whole system! $10 battery powered airpump it is! 😆
Na see you have to pin it to your other half like this. I can hook up a panel and offset the tanks electricity. I can run other stuff with extra power....1kw TV use at night. It pays for itself in under 2 years that way.

Hadn't considered that. 🤔

Oh no! I don't want mine to morph into anything different. I will never get a new light now. This is awful news. How ever do I keep everything the same? Going to drive me crazy. I need more backup's of exactly what I have now!
Lol if you find out please share!
 
Good morning Bobby!

Something amazing happend yesterday. My back popped back into place. Yeah it was out for like 3 weeks. Just living with sore aftermath today....but things are looking up. Now if only people had coral money I would be doing OK.

Id just use my regular wall outlets for tvs and such... 😆
I have no need for something like this. If the power is off for that long, I probably have just been crushed by a hurricane and have bigger problems than the tank. AND would most likely have started eating its inhabitants.

Hi Shelley !

Glad you're feeling better!

This is the translation for yesterday's text about Cameron Diaz im assuming?

Just checked John, went through 8 pages and it wasn’t there.

Really it's been a God send on the power bill. About 300kw a month in summer. It adds up quick. It's roughly $60 a month and sound security if I need to bump the power in a storm I can charge it with my 77kw car battery.
 
He’s in the coral biz . He probably needs it . That’s way too expensive for me .
Cracking up laughing about in the coral biz. I'm just a hobbiest at this point. But when I can hit 5k sales maybe I'll say I'm in the biz. I just have a lot of colonies that I would hate to lose. I did the math. It made sense to lower power bills and have the backup. It was a win-win. Plus, snuck in on the 30 percent tax credit for 3kw batteries
