Epic Build, The 750 monster

[lastlight]

Now that's magical!

Hey with a tank that size you have no breaking point anymore. Taking it out I think would be a lot slower than your build.

Sorry to here of your misfortune. I hope all works out for you. Having local support from other REEFERS in the area (Marie & Lance) is important.

A couple of years ago when we had that major wind storm that took out all those trees in Stanley Park, a number of the local REEF NETWORK members goto together and discussed Disaster Planning. Many of us partnered off with 1 or 2 others who lived close together, who could support each other and share thew plan. There were a number of different plans discussed as the size of the systems required different plans.

My system being 525G required me to buy a generator capable of running my Amp Master main pump and 2 X 250W heaters. I set it up in September and test it for about 2 hours and then leave it in the ready mode hopping never to use it.

A DISASTER PLAN is only good if you actually test it and it works. We have so much invested in our systems that running without a well tested DISASTER PLAN is very risky.

Your Generator should run your main circulation pump and at least a couple of heaters to be of any use.

How are the tanks doing today? Do you need any salt or anything?

[lastlight]

I know this doesn't apply here but people with smaller systems and a vehicle can just run a few items off the idling car. I know my truck outlet is 400W so I'd run my Dart and one heater. I could do that for a LONG time and already have everything I need (50 foot extension cord).

I'm good for salt, tanks are looking better today, at least they have cleared up, still a few corals in the reef that may have to be fragged as they are losing tissue at the base.

Good to hear. (Except for the corals of course).

Everyone has recovered from near disaster, so I finally added my clown trigger. Was an interesting show when the snapper watched dinner swim away (note to self, do not add new fish thru same hole in top that food goes in)

LOL that would be a pretty expensive meal
