Gisho,
IT was way more then twenty minutes. I was at REnes house for longer then that, then the drive to my house, then the time it took you to drive to my house. I am thinking miracle happened in my house...
Thanks for the offer, I will let you know when my tank is ready. I still making sure things are stable, and will only take on some less expensive very easy and sturdy corals to start.
I really need to finish the aquascaping, and think I need to clear out some of the live rock I picked up. Too much of a good thing, and I have no room. Did you get hte info on the coral meet thing? Iw ill be going too, maybe you can drop by my house on the way out if you are going that way. My tank should be okay by then.

Yeah Bill, you are right. It probably survived in a little hole or crevice in the live rock for at least 1 hour if not more! Maybe a world-record?!?!? That guy is a tough little son-of-a-gun.
Anyway, yeah, I've got some sps that grow like weeds, are quite hardy and pretty to boot. I have some that even survived a massive kalkwasser overdose and subsequent pH spike recently in my 150 gallon tank :eek1: . Feel free to let me know if/when your tank is ready.
Tacocat was kind enough to PM me the info, but it is just soooooo far away for me. Sounds like fun though and I hope all of you who go have a blast.
Thank for the invite and I wish I could see your tank in person up-and-running. I hope you post pics of your tank soon. It sure looked like a beauty.:beer:

Awesome tank, Garrick! Hope mine looks like that some day.

Having the fish survive like it did makes me wonder about all the precautions we take to acclimate and adjust and fine tune to avoid and or minimize shock or stress.
Certainly life in the open water is not all the stress free
And no I am not advocating that we throw fish into new water or not take reccomended steps and measure to minimize, just recognizing that maybe some fish (maybe a lot of fish)are tougher then what we give them credit for.
If you know your corals and what they maybe capable of tolerating, then let me know what my tank needs to be at to be responsibly take on some new cultures.
I will be completing the chiller installation this weekend, since I am noticing a 3 degree swing in temp due to my new lights, and that is with moderate ambient temperatures. If the weather returns to normal So CAl temps, I will need that chiller up and running.
I am also close to finishing my electrical system. Everything will be nice and clean, but the weak link in my system is that I am tying onto my existing circuits, and adding all this equipment and lighting and chillers is putting my demand at the circuit breaker limits, not counting that that breaker is already used for all my other recpticles...
I may have to get an electrician out here to branch off from my existing light circuit to feed my lights, instead of feeding them from my recepticle circuit will help out tremendously, as my lighting circuit demand is on the low side of , (exisiting lighting demand)
I know how to do it and where I can branch from, but since the branch and wiring will have to be run surface mounted, I want the conduit or raceways to be nice and clean. Something I am not capable of doing.
And the convention in Ontario is not that much further past my house. Maybe another half hour drive.
But I understand, you have at least a half hour from your house to mine, plus the extra road to Ontario...
I hated communting, and cant understand how it is that so many people do it everyday....
Take care.
