Turtle's Fairy Tale

[Brew12]

Ouch!
I have hard wood, and the edges are lifting just from spills and drips. I have done my own installations and finishing, Not bad but is work and now I let a pro do it. There in and out.

I have engineered hard wood. If I had that happen I would have no choice but to replace the flooring. It can only be refinished if it is still smooth.

40 year old heart pine... replacing is my absolute last option.

That stuff is wonderful.

Not an option for me since our house is on a slab. Great for supporting an aquarium, not great for wood flooring. If I ever have to redo the flooring where my tank is I'm going with the wood look tile.

It's holding up very well. It is hickory which helps, but it is also made by Pergo. They use the same ultra strong protective finish on their hard woods that they developed for their laminate flooring. It seems to be very hard and water resistant.

Mines on carpet so hopefully it will just make everything very squishy if the unfortunate happens? ....and then I'll need to replace the carpet probably....

Is the floor going to be salvageable

Sorry for the lack of posts... been kinda bummed lately and today was almost the last nail in the coffin for my hobby, but fret not... Turtle won't let me quit.

For about a week now, my lubbocki wrasse has been MIA. I suspect the snowflake, as there is a metal screen top with no gaps and a 24" 2 bulb t5 fixture sitting on the screen. The brunneus is still well, as well as the rest of my fish. I'll be removing the snowflake soon.

My SPS are starting to feel the brunt of a 40 breeder tank with poor lighting and filtration. LPS is doing exceptionally well, but I've lost the PC Rainbow. I had to frag the staghorn acro as it had some RTN on it and I doubt the frags are going to make it. The LL Do Me and I'll Owe You One looks like it's next...

The BIG hit I took today was Maui went to swim in the big reef tank in the sky. He still didn't have his normal voracious appetite as when I got him. Very rarely would he accept food of any kind, and I tried everything in the book. I honestly think it was being in the Deep Blue with that sand from hades.

RIP little guy
