Any idea how long a propane tank will run your generator? Just wondering bc I bought a trifuel generator after our icepocalypse in feb 2021. I know was burning through 9g of gas a day with my other generator but I was basically powering the entire house…including a pool pumpNot trying to jinx myself, but since I lived in my home, (9years) I have yet to lose livestock to power outage, even through a couple hurricanes. Being a FL native, I have been through many hurricanes, I know that one day, we will get a whammy. Hurricane Matthew,was brutal, power down 7 days. My tank made it on an inverter and a couple reef pumps, and battery operated air stone. As the summer approaches, and after a few power outages lately, I decided to not buy anything else reef related until I develop a good backup plan. So, here we go... Here is the heart of my new back up plan, going to stock several more propane tanks. $500 brand new, not even started, including 5 extra tanks, a deal I couldn't pass on

Good plan! Two days out from expected landfall and that would cost you $1,000 -- if you could find one.Not trying to jinx myself, but since I lived in my home, (9years) I have yet to lose livestock to power outage, even through a couple hurricanes.

The last few Nor'Easters we've had put us out of power for 5, 3 and 7 days. The hurricane (Sandy) was 10 days. We have a 1,000lb buried LPG tank hooked up to a 30 kw Cummins. I just make sure it is full when the weather people get all worked up.
I wish the utility companies would just bury the darn lines and be done with it.
Thats deinitely a good idea,especially for this season. I have a feeling we are going to get no less than 2 direct hits this year. How severe,idk but I'm willing to bet with how mild of a year we have had its going to be nasty.
Everyone at work thinks I am stupid,but I stay in tune with the weather solely for good measure. Being prepared is smart,the others will get caught with their pants down looking crazy.
Shot the storm that rolled thru Sanford yesterday/last night was pretty good and my neighborhood was FLOODED. My tires were up to the rim in water so a good 5"+ of water collected in my parking lot.
Wow,that is actually significant growth in 3 months. Lowering intesnity have actually accelerate growth even more. Sp would scraping a small area of tissue,but since your growth is actually measurable I wouldn't go that drastic.
Haha I do not own one but once I get the tank filled and my bulbs are burnt in I want to go to TSA and rent one. When I do it I will bring it over and we can shoot some points for sure.
Thats where the pride in success comes in right ? I haven't found an online vendor that has good enough pieces I want to be able to order from them. I did find a place in Oveido that has some really good pieces for a fair price so when the time comes I will go there. And a place locally has some common pieces for super cheap that I will try as well.
Nice! Looking forward to the pics.Hi all,
Yesterday, I spent 4 hours re-scaping, the single bommie looked too much like a rock pile. I have always preferred a minimalist approach, but for whatever reason, I let this scape become overwhelming, and too busy. So, I removed about 20 lbs of rock, threw it into my 20 gallon quarantine tank, and went for a 2 island look, with a valley down the center. The left side is larger and reaches about 10" in height. The right side is a small islsnd bommie, reaching 4" in height. And..... I added 40 lbs of Carib Sea Special Grade sand to the tank. I have been pondering this for quite awhile, as I love the look, with open space especially The tank is cloudy, but when it settles down, I will post a pic of the new look, which now emphasizes coral over rock
Nice!Forgive the cloudiness, the tank is clearing up, corals looking kind of drab, but in a few weeks things should be back on track
