Just when you think it can't get worse

[Chaloupa]

I have a 24" aqualight Pro on my hex....first the ballast went on it....so no biggie we'll just "get another" and contact ESU for replacement...ok that didn't work so Mike at Hidden Reef is trying to get us one...so 65g looks like crap, anyone ever tried to talk to ESU about warranty stuff...? Good freakin luck!...then I lose my small PB Tang, AND the exquisite wrasse I just bought, plus I have never seen my new Signal Goby again...THEN the light burns out OR it's the ballast AGAIN on my 14g Biocube actinic, so it's sucking big in 3 tanks now...the FOWLR chugs along...and quits. The pump ( Reeflo Dart ) which is the ONLY pump for the tank decided to QUIT...just makes a horrible noise for the day (after we put in an urgent plea to Mike again at HR when it started) and dies....luckily no loss of livestock...YET Oh yeh, and being in Campbell River on the Island we have NO resources...everything must be flown here if it's urgent or good ol snail mail. Somedays I do wish I lived in Van!

And we're supposed to go on holidays in 2.5 weeks??????? And leave our tanks with a very caring but zero knowledge friend...oh man can it get worse? I know..it could be much worse...but right now this totally sucks and I know that there are many many much worse stories but I'm choked! Sorry, I had to vent.....I don't often but I'm not a happy reefer!

I feel for you, and I really hope that you can get replacement everythings in time for you to go and enjoy your vacation.

Sorry to hear that I guess it's true what they say "when it rains it poors" Hopefully your items will come soon

Sorry to hear about you tank problems
Good Luck

Hope you can replace everything before your holidays. At least your not getting a phone call about all this while you are on holidays. Best of Luck .

I'm sorry to hear that, Sarah Arrgh, that sucks. Best of luck, though!
