Wow! Nobody left here in this hobby?
Out here in my locale we had a serious wildfire, the CZU lightning complex.
We were forced to evacuate for a week but we were out of power for two weeks plus. I have a generator but I was not allowed to come back and maintain it. I came back to a 120 gallon tank of pure death. I had to wear a complete respirator to empty it and get it out of the house. It took a week to air out. Hottest time of the year. I sold the whole $3000 worth of setup to a young guy who was intense into getting it set up. I could have got it back up again but I figured I put in my time. I am now more into plants and music and being creative. But I really miss the sailfin tang. Those fish are damn smart and have great personalities.

That sucks, man! Sorry that this happened to you (and the fish, especially!). Our fish are in an outside pond, but if we lost power to the pump for 2 weeks in the summer, then it would all be cat food.

Chayse (The camaro show) is into it for fun and profit, but we can't get him to post any pics in 18 months.

I was curious if Brad or Scott would trip across this.
