Well it don't like that right now. Had a semi tank crash do to no power for 32hrs and a week later lost power again for 49hrs. Im gettin sick of these storms. Lost alote of frags and browned out some.

I'm calling progress pics of the chalice since its been about a month.
It's a chalice slow grower( that's why they cost alote $400+) Hasnt done much of anything lost a corner do to a small tank crash. but starting to come back..
 
Hard to back up a half inch to inch frags. But already have replacement ready for me and a guy down the street he has some frags of my corals. Just got to wait till they grow a lil.

But if you run bio pellets and loose power more then 32hrs take them out. The Bacteria will die off that's what happen here. Ammonia spike and didn't have the pump for the reactor hooked up to the generator. Need to find a bigger gen to run everything. The one I use now will only run my return and one 500w heater.
 
good to hear you had some backup. do you run an autostart gen set? been thinking about the best way to accomplish this. i am looking for something more than an APC 900.
 
Zef.... Beeeeeeeauuuuuuutiful... have I told you lately that I L.... Hate you?... Not really.................. Here is a very important word for you..... GENERATOR. Had it not been for mine the last few weeks I would have lost more corals than I care to remember... L.J.
 
No all I have is 900w camping gen. By Honda. It's 10yrs old. those ones your talking about is alote of money.
 
I'm looking for a bigger one something around 2200w. That should be enough to run everything on my tank.

I'm looking for a bigger one something around 2200w. That should be enough to run everything on my tank.

Lowe's had 7200 Watts ones for around 1,400.00 That will run your whole house along with your tank necessities, TV, Fridge, Heat/Air and they can be wired in to cut on when power fails. It may have even been bigger than that but I remember the Price as I almost bought one!

I can't believe your power right there in the city is so crappy.....we live out in the sticks literally and all the storms my power went out for 5mins tops. Knock on wood.

Please excuse my mad typing skills while using my ANDROID tapatalk peeps!
 
I know it sucks. I've lived in this house for 1.5yrs and lost power only 6x and those 6x only been been this past 2months. Crazy storms lately.
 
sorry to burst your bubble but thats not a convict chalice. The original convict chalice came from me and ive only passed it on to Kase and Steve. They may sold a few frags to others but base on the picture you provided, it does not look like my convict.

here is an old pic of the colony

Aaaaaand this is why the obsession over named corals is ridiculous. Your chalice is awesome zef, but some random dude popping up and claiming ownership of a named coral, thats not your $300 coral, is nuts.
 
Thanks chuck
I got it from Ian at reef odyssey he said it was a nonvict and thought It was typo. And the one he also has looks like yours but he and some other people are calling it rising sun.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing, but I was thinking more along the lines of sad and kind of funny instead of nuts.

There is an easy solution to these high prices! Just don't Buy them and Prices will come down or they will just have to keep them all for themselves.
I will not pay any crazy prices just because someone gave a coral some crazy name, The higest i have ever paid for any frag is 75.00 and I seemed to have aquired some nice Coral over the years. You just have to know how to shop like anything else It's supply and demand, And if the demand is not there!

I'm happy with mine. Even more for $300. When I saw a 3x3 Colony with 10eyes go for 3,550.00 last night on eBay.
