Lights on but nobody home

Well group......After lots and lots of wiring, holes cut in sheetrocked walls and other messes, the halides are finally back on in the 90g tank. I'm now back to a couple full functioning reef tank systems without reefs.

Because of the extended delay rebuilding some of my rock formations and getting the system back online I did loose a bunch of coraline growth but that should come back. I have about 95% lose of all corals. I managed to stash a few in Jennifer's 320g tank but I lost everything else.

LOST
Green star polyps
Orange Zooanthids
Blue Zooanthids
Pulsing Xenia (finally)
Red Sea pink Xenia
Multi colored striped mushrooms
Finger leather
Couple varieties of SPS
Calupra and Halmidia

Donated the 12" toadstool Sarcoph to Jenn's tank along with most of the Singulara. Will be able to recover a few frags of the Singulara and retrieve the red open brain but all other corals are history.

Good news is the anenome and mated pair of Goldbar Maroons made it and are fine. The anenome even just split so the clowns are dancing between the two sections to host both.

Even though my schedule is pretty maxed, I'm planning on being at Dirks Saturday around 2:00. I'f there are any fellow reefers burdoned with a surplus or corals (SPS and softies) and macro algae I am definatly in a position to assist with a new home......

I also have the six passenger Town & Country with cargo space and living in Cottage Grove so if anyone wants to carpool let me know. 612-730-5634 cell. Even a change to see the new shop addition! They're supose to pour concrete this afternoon (Friday) for the 560 sq ft slab. Yahoo!!!

Jon, I have a nice colony of trumpets. (Brown with bright green centers. Might have a few other things I can part with for you.
Just stop by sometime (your only a mile away). Maybe we can swing by my place after Dirks on sat.

Thanks Scott.... and I still owe ya for your help with the fragging....

Concrete was delayed till Monday, spent the afternoon shoring forms, digging and other body abusive acts...Owwwww.. Good news is the 60g veritical air compressor was finally delivered this morning. 260# and the delivery company ALMOST lost it off the liftgate while unloading it from the dock truck. Few heart rates increased there. No casualties so on to the next project.

At the moment trying to find the adapter cable for the system control module and the laptop. Lighting comes on about 2:00 AM since the system was offline so long. Can't find #$&^% in all the boxes and piles so small projects take WAAAAAAY longer than they should. Keep convincing myself it's all worth it when it's done.

Jan is actually bugging me about when are we going to get more stuff in the tanks and spent $$$$$ of her own money at SF for new fish for the downstairs tank. Gota love it, even after the floods and stuff

Also have some white trumpets, capnella, frogspawn and some turbinaria. Got a nice piece of gold scroll but I promised that to Graham.

Graham · 10-22-2003, 05:23 PM

Scott,

Ah yes...the scroll.
I forgot to ask you to bring it to Dirk's.
If I still have dibbs on it, I still want it!

Thanks Scott.... need to connect this weekend and start adding some livestock to the tanks! Big boxes of water, not much interesting going on so far..... Even Jan is pushing to start getting stuff back in the tanks!

Jon, Going to be gone saturday afternoon, but otherwise home all weekend, so give me a call.
Graham, Of course you still have dibbs, and it looks even better!!
You should see the birdsnest you gave me it was about a 1.5" frag , now it is about the size of a tennis ball!!
