It is with deep regret that I have to announce the death of 1 firefish. He was the little guy in the tank, but will be missed.

Services will be held at the kirkwood sewer system at 11 am. Donations should be sent to my paypal account.

RIP

You can manually agitate your water with a bucket or something to get air flow.

I have been very seriously considering one of the "Guardian" brand stand-by gensets from Home Depot. I lost some stuff last winte because the power went off while I was gone and couldn't hook up a generator. They aren't cheap but then neither is everything in the tank. Does anybody here have one already?

Ask Arsenal

I THINK he has one. Not sure if he hooked it up though

You could have gone to Walmart and bought a $20 power inverter. I got my generator from some place in IN off the bay. good luck

My arm would have been tired after 8 days with no power last year.
