I’d honestly get a smaller female - your established female will most likely end up transitioning.
I would love to get my male back to his full colours.

I'll definitely have to look into that option. Thanks.

That’s good news. What other precautions do you take when preparing for hurricanes?

I have battery backup for my MP 60's, two portable AC units and a few additional fans if needed, I'll also have a bunch of ice on hand to keep food Frozen.

Thankfully my max power draw is only about 500 watts.

We made it through the storm Tampa fared well we only had a few branches and small trees power was out for a short while.

My prayers go to everyone that has been affected.

just saw you being awarded tank of the month - wow so awesome! Was trying to find on YouTube any new videos - do you have a current video? Saw the video from 10 years ago. What an amazing story - never read a build thread like yours. Congrats again!

Thanks so much, This thread took on a life of its own during my wife's battle with cancer. I am so thankful for the reef-2-reef community allowing me to share my grief so deeply it was so therapeutic, it helped me get through some very rough patches.

As for the videos, yes I know I've been slacking, you would think with all this great digital media equipment I have I'd be posting videos constantly. I need to pull out the Sony Mirrorless Alpha A7 and start shooting.

I'm going to blame it on bad hair days, yes 10 years worth
