Tldr; I was hit by two hurricanes and my school kicked me out for an entire month. My tank was left behind. What should I expect to see when I return?
Hey everyone!
I'm a college student in the Tampa Bay Area in Florida. My college is a marine science college literally right on the Tampa Bay...
Hurricane Milton might be getting you down but please post up some nice pics to bring the positive vibes and take minds off of things as we wait on the inevitable

I'm in the path of hurricane nine. I am also a college student. I am being forced to evacuate, and my fish tank will need to be left behind at my dorm. The tank is 20 gallons.
Flooding is not a major concern. While my college is right on the bay and has flooded, my building is elevated and we...
I'm in Florida and I live in a college dorm building so a generator isn't an option. I just arrived on Campus with my tank yesterday. The tank is a waterbox cube 20 AIO system with a hygger mini wave maker, AI prime 16HD light, and the stock return pump with an unreadable label. Last week my...
I am in Florida and we are about to get hit with a hurricane. This is my first hurricane season with a reef tank. In the past, I've kept freshwater tanks. Those just required a battery powered air pump with an airstone (which i think i still have somewhere), and sometimes a heater. What can I do...
Just upgraded my biocube 32 from a stock light to Steve’s LED with iridescent booster with hurricane x controller. Having a hard time figuring out how to set up the lighting schedule on the controller. Can anybody help? Also if anybody could drop their lighting schedule when they installed their...
Some of you may remember me …. I took a little break as I met my fiancé and moved 100 miles away.
we were renting places so I had family taking care of my tank back home. I just bought a house about 4 months ago. (Paying bills has had me too broke to get the stuff to move my tank, but my family...
So, tank went without power for a week following hurricane Ida. There was no flow(obviously) and temps hit 85-86 during the day. I came back to the city to rescue my 2 clowns who are currently living in a 5 gallon bucket with a bubbler.
Basically my question is: what are my options from here...
General Ida discussion thread. Looks like we are taking a Cat 3-4 straight to the face. I will be freezing water bottles to prepare for the power going out(nano), but it generally doesnt in my area.
Post your hurricane preps!
I recently purchased Steve’s Biocube 32 LED turbo upgrade system-plug and play with the hurricane x controller and the iridescence booster. The install went well with the exception of the wiring.. the cable with the red dot hooks up to the power supply but the cable that is supposed to connect...
Hello everyone,
I am new to the community so excuse my ignorance. I found my love for reef tanks in my teens, but my minimum wage job at 16 couldn’t dream of keeping up with the hobby, so I gave up on it. Now that I make adult money, and still don’t have children to feed, I can try again.
I...
What are your hurricane preps for the tanks!?
Mine at the moment is 2 battery bubblers and a battery pack to run a powerhead on and off for a few days.
Good day peoples!
So I’ve been in the hobby for a while, and some old timers may remember my coral farm – North Star Corals (if anyone has frags from my babies, please message me as I’d like to get some of them in my new setup), but this will be my first tank build thread. So back in the day...
I found this 4 pt article about how U.S. aquaculture/breeding facilities fared after the storms and their current status. Thought I would share.

Rev suggested I share this...
Sunday, 9/10, I lost power due to Hurricane Irma at around 4:30pm - 5:00pm. Unfortunately, I was unable to get battery air pumps prior to the storm, and couldn't run my generator until it passed.
That storm just day over us for what seemed like forever, but finally on Monday (9/11) I began...
Hey fellow Ocala Reef Club members (as well as anyone else in Central Florida). Just want to remind everyone to be safe as Hurricane Irma approaches.
Here are some useful links for prepping your tanks and weathering the storm...
