Scurvy’s Mad Wrasse 110

[Scurvy]

What you did with the frag rack was genius!

I have my moments. Trying to catch this fish is like trying to catch the groundhog in Caddyshack! He’s laughing at me.

 

[Katrina71]

Lol. God did have a pretty good design for him.

Im pretty happy with how it came out! Getting a ceiling mount strait and centered is harder than one would think... At least for a guy with a hammer, a drill and 10 thumbs!

Next up.... PAR readings.

Your Blenny texted mine. Now they are both snickering.

For some reason the Blondie song motivates me when I have to catch one. "One way or another..."

 

[Scurvy]

Im gonna gitcha, gitcha, gitcha, gitcha one way or another! LoL

While I struck out with the Blennie I set the trap in another tank solely to get the fish used to it being in the water. Never baited it and wasnt paying attention to it.

Went to feed that tank an hour or so later and had caught my Melanarus wrasse and Blue Throat Fairy. The Blue Throat went into the 110 and the Melanarus went back into his same tank for now.

Nice catch... almost like catching bream on a bare brass hook. Free dinner and don't even have to buy bait. I wouldn't suggest eating your wrasse tho. Much more satisfying to watch them.

Ruh Roh..... Notice in the mailbox today that i will be without power for 6 hours both Thursday and Friday this week for emergency electrical work! Timing couldn’t be worse as I only have what, 6 tanks/tubs going right now?? I also have a major project happening at work this week and cannot be home during the work windows. PANIC MODE!!!!!!

Well that’s convienent. What’s the plan, generator while you are at work?

 

[Fudsey]

If you need one I have one you could borrow but you'd need a pick up to get it.

Right?!? I honestly dont know yet. It’ll certainly speed up my timeline but for now the goal is to at least get out of one tank a night until Thursday and try to manage 3 rather than 6. My gal will no doubt be happy about that! In truth I will too.

I hate to buy a generator as Ive lost power maybe once in 8 years at this place.... I can probably rent one for a couple days pretty cheap at Home Depot or Lowes now that I think of it.

Ugh, gotta love the power company right... wait, I work for the power company. Lol

Hoping everything goes as smoothly as possible for you.

Appreciate the offer! I’ll make some calls tomorrow and see what makes the most sense. Will keep it in mind for sure.

Thanks! I cant complain, we have a solid grid/supply 99.9% of the time. Gonna be a looong few nights though, loads to do now!
