Power came back on and everything in my tank is still alive!

My power was out for about 4 hours too! Big sigh of relief!

I started reefing a few months ago. About a month ago I added chaeto to my fuge. When it hadnt grown at all after several weeks I did a typical noob thing and cranked up the light another 15% or so. Well, it worked. The chaeto has easily doubled in size, so I was actually excited to do my testing today. My phosphate had been at .6 and climbing, nitrates 10 and stable. Testing today revealed nitrates were 2, phosphates, .2! It definitely an "aha moment", like maybe I CAN be pretty good at this. It was really exciting! :)

Thank you. I have six parrots; all rescues. Most important part of my life.

Nice. I used to breed ball pythons and had to hand feed quite a few of the babies to get them feeding initially.

Thanks! I was getting a little worried because it was going on three weeks since he hatched but that was because he wanted to shed twice after hatching ;Hilarious I was actually getting ready to do an assist at one point I figured I'd try one more time and he smashed it!

Beautiful! My African Grey plucks a little on the top of her shoulders. Does the body armor your bird is wearing in the pic work well?

I woke up early this morning and went outside and was surprised to see that the Santa Ana winds had brought out the stars from behind the normal coastal overcast. I saw the tiniest shooting star while I was looking up.

Yes, mostly. The hard collar keeps him from pushing the top of the vest away to mutilate. So he learned he could use his foot up the bottom of the vest. I ended up making a belt out of some extra felt, and that has stopped most of it.

Unfortunately, he came from a pretty bad background; he was pulled out of a hoarding situation; so I doubt he'll ever be able to stop trying to pick himself open.

Awesome. Man your post got me starting to look at snakes again. I might have to pull the trigger on this little guy now. I miss my snakes. Such cool and beautiful creatures.

Ahhh, but the look of pure love in his eyes Makes MY Day, feathered friend or slightly feathered friend not withstanding. Thanks for giving him a chance at a happy life ;Joyful.
