Yeah, hanging in there. How did you fare through Laura and the flood in May? I hope you are doing ok.Knock knock
Hanging in there man?
Well that stinks.Yeah, hanging in there. How did you fare through Laura and the flood in May? I hope you are doing ok.
I quit updating the thread because I am just about back to ground zero again. Figured no one is interested in picking up on a five-year-old thread with nothing to show for it. The tank was set up for a few months last summer when Laura hit and it has been dry ever since. I thought about filling it up again going into the summer this year and then my house flooded in May. The house was just about gutted and still trying to get organized after the construction mess. At least the repairs are finished. My neighbor had her contractor just abandon her when Ida hit New Orleans and they headed over there for bigger jobs.
I have considered just getting out altogether, except I find myself still looking at online vendors and wishing I had someplace to put some frags. My nano has been sitting on my carport since the flood. It is still running, but nothing in it except some bacteria - hopefully. Oh, and some snails and chaetomorpha.
My ATI T5 Hybrid wasn't on my tank when it flooded and it was in six inches of water. It still works but I see traces of corrosion and likely will not trust it now. I was paid for it in my insurance claim, but when I went to check on a replacement, I found that the 8 bulb hybrids are no longer available. I even had BRS contact ATI. So, I went ahead and ordered a regular 8 bulb ATI fixture. I got it a few weeks ago. So, looks like I will try it again.
Ya its rough across the boardWell that stinks.
Lost 16 trees in Laura and the roof to our upstairs bathroom. Spent 2 weeks without power for Laura and 1 week for Delta.
Haven’t had a tank running since January of 2020 so at least I didn’t have to deal with that too.
I’m like you just looking online every now and then. Looks like BRS is making a run at becoming the hobby’s first monopoly lol.
At least you have bacteria. The only reef related item I have left is an RODI unit that has been converted to RO only and is used for drinking water.
Still have mixed feelings about getting back in. Looks like the pandemic did a number on the prices.
I even forgot about Delta. We didn't flood for that, but that 16 inches of rain in six hours in Lake Charles did me in. We were out of power for three weeks from Laura. No damage from Delta. My elderly mother is also not in good health and I spend time taking care of her house and affairs. I retired at the beginning of last year and it has been non-stop since then. Always one thing or another it seems.Well that stinks.

Thanks and same to you, but this thread is closed - until after the New Year.MERRY CHRISTMAS...
Good luck on this one. Tank crashes are rough. I’m in the middle of one right now where STN is wiping out everything.
Thanks, but this tank never had the chance to crash. It’s just been one thing after the other between family health issues and natural disasters. I am still hesitant to get it going because it is still hurricane season. My 140 ran for 12 years non-stop before I decided to get the Reef Savvy. My luck ha apparently run out since then.Good luck on this one. Tank crashes are rough. I’m in the middle of one right now where STN is wiping out everything.
Thanks, Daniel. I appreciate it. Maybe keeping this thread updated can give me a little more inspiration. I have come close to selling out a number of times during the last few years.Best of luck! That setup is beautiful!
