I can't scoot my tank to the window. Maybe if things get that dire, I'll cut a huge hole in the roof. :D
 
thats good everything made it through! I kept checking this thread to see if everything was ok...I was hoping i wouldnt find another "everything lost" thread.

We have really been thinking about getting a bigger tank to replace the 5g. We also got a 38gal that is doing awesome. Its all 100% local livestock. everything from the water to the rock. The 5gal is doing fine as well...but we just want something bigger. Partly a interior design idea, mostly another cool place for an aquarium. It will happen...probably after the holidays. IT will also be a all local tank.

glad to hear everything is doing well.

Sorry Marc, I forgot that you can't really move that 280g in-wall behemoth anywhere, let alone over to the nearest window :lol:. Cutting holes in the roof.....now that's one I had yet to consider. :D

Thanks for the thoughts Frank. I can't wait to see what you can put together after the holidays. I'm sure you can get your hands on some great stuff over there in Japan.

Thanks so much Caesar, the compliments are always welcomed and make photographing and documenting the tank's progress well worth the effort. :) :thumbsup:
 
Ted, I'm so happy for you! I'm very glad everything made it. 'round these here parts (I'm using my very bad hillbilly voice right now) the generator's the only thing at'll git er done. We had an ice storm back in '96 & nobody saved anything w/out a generator. Funny how those critters don't like 28 degree weather...:eek:
 
I just read through your post,

beautiful and amazing tank Ted! I wish my lawnmower blenny was as photogenic as yours. Mine simply hides before I even get a chance to sit down near the tank.

Thanks alot Wendy. I'm happy that everything made it too. I honestly think that even if I was without power for several more days, the airstones and my water changes would have kept everything alive just fine. However, I am definitely going to buy a generator next summer before the season starts again on June 1st.

Thanks so much for the compliments Vince! I have to admit that my LMB has the most personality of my 3 fish. He has already learned that my hand in the tank is harmless and not something to be afraid of. He comes right over to me when I strap some new seaweed on his rock and lower it back into the tank. That little guy eats like a pig! He'll devour a 2x1 inch strip of the algae sheet in just 24 hrs! They're awesome little fish. Be patient with yours, he'll come around sooner than later. :thumbsup:

UPDATE: November 4, 2005 - NEW VIDEO!

Hello again all. I have just taken a few snapshots of the tank after I rearranged a couple corals. The Toadstool has been moved to the left side now since it was growing too large and blocking out the Galaxy coral. Now, both of them can be easily seen and enjoyed. I also took the very first video of my tank tonight as well. It's in MPEG format and is 22 megabytes in size, so dial-up will have to miss out I guess :(. Anyways, enjoy!

It's easiest if you right-click then "Save Target As..." for the video. It runs more smoothly when it's saved on your computer.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! pimp2daizzo, I thought about fragging the Toadstool, but I think it's kind of cool to have just one monster coral in my nano. I bought it as a damaged 3-inch wide specimen, and it's now reached 6-inches across, so I'm kind of rooting for it to grow as large as it can. Thanks again all. :D
 
Beautiful tank again K9.

Do you notice any fighting with any of your fish? Particularly the pseudo and the Maroon? Also, how's the stylophora doin?

Hey, thanks alot again!

Nope, no fighting whatsoever as of yet. The three of them have been together for quite some time now and all get along very well. You can even see in the most recent whole-tank shot I posted that all three fish are hanging out together on the right-hand side of the tank.

As for the Stylo frags, it looks like only one is going to make it. I was pretty frustrated about losing all of the others, but that's a chance I took when buying a dying coral. Well, lesson learned and I won't make that mistake again.

What do you mean by "your tank kills"? Kills what exactly?
