I just wanted to let everyone know that yes I'm still alive but Computer Less for a while! Last Sunday night We had some power arcs do to a loss of our electrical ground outside of our house and the computer took the heaviest damage. I know what you are thinking, "you should have used a surge protector" I did thats the funny part. But the power supply of the computer caught fire and we lost about everything other than the Hard Drive. I've ordered a new power supply, Motherboard and Processer chip! Let me tell you what Computer part aren't Cheap! Other Damage includes the LOST of all my MH bulbs and with that the lost of most of my SPS's. But I have gotten my new lights in now. So I tring to fix all the Chaos one peice at a time. Hope to see all of you soon!

Thanks

Wow, sorry to hear about that! Glad to hear you are getting new bulbs so quick though. Did the SPS die from having no light, or some other reason?

Did the red monticap make it?
 
That sux.. What caused the house to loose ground? I've seen it happen before when plumbing pipes in the house was used for a ground.. Plumber cut the line.. Bam every almost every Tv in the house fried..:eek: Very strange how much damage this can cause.
 
I don't really know how it happened, But yes I lost about 1/2 of my SPS colonies but I did save some frags. Overnight Air is GREAT! Yea the RED mont MADE it it looks great right now! I've had about 3" growth off it.
 
I've got an SPS frag if you want it. It's light purple, with darker purple tips, and bright green hairy things (I forgot what the little hairs that come out are called). :)

Green hairy things? Is it A. millipora? Sounds pretty. Any pix?

Sure...this is it before it colored up a little more. It still needs more time I think though. When I first got it, it was about this size, but as white as could be. The frag is a piece that broke off this colony when I was moving everything to my 75gal.
