Lol, thanks for helping.If you can wrap a blanket over the tank it will help with the temp.
Noise ordnances are on the list of hot-button R2R topics. Good to know!
I change my vote, after finding out he is in a condo. You have a HOA that probably gives you detailed instructions on how to live your life..... so you’re stuck
And if I lived in a condo, and my neighbor ran a generator all night, the well being of his fish would be the least of my concerns.
Medical equipment? Ok. I guess I can be inconvenienced for a night....... Fish? Nope
Lol, thanks for helping.
Tank equipment is the life support system for the animals we keep. So for people keeping fish in cold climates that require high wattage heaters that can't be run off a battery backup you just would force them all to freeze to death? I'd have to imagine animal cruelty laws supersede HOA noise restrictions.
These responses are saddening.
So what about your neighbors? Do you have no care in what they think? I ride a Harley but I don't set outside and fire it up at night. I also talk to my neighbors so I would at least try to explain the situation to them before 10pm at night. What if they have an infant? So you have no care for an infant either? C'mon be realistic about all of this.
Tell them to shove it. You didn’t create the situation and you should be able to respond as needed.I guess I can turn it back on in the morning again. Right now my only fear is the livestock in the tank. The tank is loaded with sps colonies. If anyone live in the area and willing to help. Please let me know. Much thanks!
Guys I appreciate it all your help and comments. The reason why I share this experience on the site is to help others who are in the same situation as mine. I am well aware of my neighbors's needs as well. No need to argue over right and wrong. The sad truth is that as a hobbiest, this is what all of us need to go through sometimes in reefing. As for now the tank is running on backup battery.please feel free to let me know if anyone is kinda enough to house some of my corals. All and all I am grateful to have all of you around when I am going through a tough time like this. Thanks also to reef2 reef for putting together a great website!Tell them to shove it. You didn’t create the situation and you should be able to respond as needed.
Do not put a blanket over your tank. The limited fresh air will kill your life stock fast than water cooling.Lol, thanks for helping.
also now that you know your neighbors arent understanding in this situation. a non fuel generator might be the way to go for the current living situation. Ive looked at them. at 9am... run the generator.... charge the batteries and run what your doing now after 9pm...
as soon as the clock hits 9am. id fire it up.
What if you can add an air bubbler? Can you use a blanket is your running one of those?Do not put a blanket over your tank. The limited fresh air will kill your life stock fast than water cooling.
