Stay safe Mike ! ! !
Thanks Keith! My wife flew to Ohio today, a planned trip to visit our daughter and her family. I’m glad! Unfortunately I don’t think she will be flying back on Thursday!

Definitely need one of these for the dream build. What a peace of mind it must give.

And fingers crossed for all the coast over the next few days.

Wow, that is a kevlar vest to a reef, congrats!
Well put!

I have both gyres on a battery backup that should last 24 hours. By the time they run out I should have the generator on line.

It doesn’t have an inverter, so would not run lights or other sensitive electronics but it should be able to keep the family and tank alive!

There are no evacuation orders in effect yet. I’m probably going to install the hurricane shutters on the south and east sides of the house as that’s where all the trees are.

Stay safe Mike, sounds a bit scary and as already said we don’t get many hurricanes in the UK thankfully

The generator looks a good piece of kit as well.

Thank you Shaun. It’s currently projected to go straight up the coast, off shore. No evacuations yet for the east coast. Hopefully it stays far enough off shore!

So I had the coral beauty in the sump for about 2 weeks. Put him back in the tank today. He immediately went looking for the tomini tang and the trigger.

The tomini gave a few serious tail whacks and the trigger lunges at him and but at him.

The CB is now hiding under the middle rock cave as he seems be be not the bully in charge.......at least do now. I hope he finds his place and chills out because it’s a beautiful fish.

Also went to order the sea squirts to have them here this week since I’m off for 4 days.....sold out:( bummer.

As soon as I see them available again I’m not going to wait.
