Tornado wiped out all my SPS :(

bigdaddytanner450r · May 3, 2011

The tornado that ripped behind my house Wednesday night took out the power for days. Given that I didn't own a generator, I lost a yellow tang, blue regal tang, niger trigger, and every one of my SPS I've had growing for years. Once I get the tank back in order, if any of you accidentally break off a few pieces of SPS while cleaning the glass, I'll be glad to accept the pieces instead of letting the sandbed claim them. :) Hope everyone is ok after all the storms. Does anyone know how Brian is in Apison?

Most of my electronics are toast, but the tank is ok and the MHs are working. Vortechs are not, 6100s are not (controllers took a big surge of 220 and passed it on to the pumps). I thought I had everything plugged into a surge protector, but turns out it's just a multiplug thing with a toggle switch. Pooh. Ph probe dead

I've got Korellas providing flow right now. I've got some SPS that can be snipped and you know the Knoxville swap is coming up in early June sometime. Where are you (and do I know you)?

Where r u located i have a couple pieces that need some trimming, shoot me your zip code so i can figure out shipping costs :D

Susan, this is Tanner Flowers. I actually performed a home inspection for you several years ago when I ran the Southeast region for Orkin Pest Control. I met your husband and got to see your huge tank. I live in Cleveland. My zip code is 37323. I think I've got everything about back to normal. I performed several water changes already. I have a few lps left, one tomato clown, and one snowflake eel. That's it! It's about too depressing to even look at my tank now. Oh well, it could have been A LOT worse. Several of my friends lost everything! You guys/girls don't know how much I appreciate the frag offers. If I can ever ne of assistance to you guys, just let me know. I'd like to let my tank run throughout this week, perform another water change next weekend, and then start to add a few frags and such. I gotta get a couple more fish!!!! Thanks again to you all. -Tanner

Tanner, I've got a bunch of SPS that always needs trimming. I'm in Ooltewah, just let me know when you want to come and help me snip.

bigdaddytanner450r · May 9, 2011

I'll be giving everyone a shout in a week or so. Thanks again SOOOO MUCH!!!!

We all feel your pain. This is an expensive hobby.

bigdaddytanner450r · May 14, 2011

I believe I've gotten everything back to normal. Picked up another niger trigger and a dwarf lion on Thursday. Everything is eating and doing great. Did another water change and I think I may be ready for some corals. My clam, and remaining soft corals are all doing great. Everyone clean their tanks this weekend so you'll break a few sps in the process. :) I just need to stock up on glue.

fullmonti · May 14, 2011

If your ready maybe bring frags for you next meeting at Susans house?

scouncil · May 16, 2011

yes, this Saturday at noon. My house. PM me for directions since it's been a while. Better stock up on glue now!!

Troylee · May 16, 2011

i have tons of sps i can donate you just pay the shipping which is about $90 right now...:( i could throw you together a nice pack of 15 or so pieces...lmk..;)

bigdaddytanner450r · May 18, 2011

Sorry guys. I've got a reptile show in Birmingham I have to be at Saturday. I won't be back until that afternoon. Hopefully we can set up another time. Susan I can make it by your house about anytime. Are you still out near Ooltewah Ringgold Rd?

pickupman66 · May 19, 2011

Susan, I work in South Pittsburg now. if you are ever out that way during the day, I have some Pocilipora I can give ya. I do still have a frag I bought from you at the swap, but it hasnt grown enough to frag yet.

scouncil · May 19, 2011

My SPS are doing ok so far. It's Tanner that's had the worst luck. And yes Tanner, I'm still out close to Georgetown/Ooltewah. PM if you need directions to my house. Bryan and Brandon have made me paranoid about posting personal info on the web....

Tanner, I'll send you my info in a PM and you can call sometime when you want to come by. Do you want Jim and whoever else wants to bring frags to the meeting to bring them and you can come by when you come through town? I don't think I'm going to go anywhere after the meeting.
