Yup, definitely challenging at times. This morning I found my gorg laying on top of my lobo which is a very powerful stinger. Half my gorg is dead

doh! I just found out that I haven't been running my carbon for a couple of weeks now. Yikes! I guess I unplugged it a couple of weeks ago while rewiring things around and forgot to plug it back in. The carbon is pitch black and it is hard to see under the dark stand so I just assumed it was running. Anyway, hope this was it. Carbon is supposed to help remove unwanted chemicals I think? Like for example the nasty chemicals that corals use during chemical warefare? So maybe without the carbon stripping it out it was building up in my tank and started affecting some of them.

One of my brains decided it wanted to have some lunch today. He usually opens at night but I have never ever seen him open during the day before!

Nature always has a way of reminding us who is ultimately in charge...glad the family is ok Kien and bittersweet on the tank as it is a part of the family too....


I talked to one of my cousins he was one of the areas put under mandatory evacuation went home after being away for 33 hrs found that his house was one of the few in his neighbourhood that was left untouched by the floods that being said when he got to his house he discovered that 28 cats 15 dogs and some other critters had taken up residence at his place and because he had a pet door for his cats and dog the neighbouring animals made themselves at home in his house.

With the help of neighbours, SPCA and emergency services all the animals were reunited with owners or taken to local shelters. Unfortunately they did make a mess of his kitchen and living room and some other areas of his house. But he and his wife kept their sense of humour as they have a sign in their window stating they are a pet friendly house and apparently all the neighbourhood animals took them up on the offer
