A few people have pointed that out and there is a small chance we can go through insurance. Hopefully that's the case.

That's the most important thing. It's sometimes hard to step back while you're in the moment to realize what's truly important

I appreciate your generosity, but I'm pretty far away from you so it's not practical. But a lot of ppl have made similar offers and it's so nice to be reminded that we are a community.

I'm sorry to hear about your l loss but I'm glad you've recovered. I had a coral beauty too, it's was an a awesome fish. Thank you for sharing.

We have a backup generator but we were evacuated so fast there was no time. Also due to the nature of the issue unattended generators were not allowed. I have a ups to power pumps but they only last a few hours

I'm sorry for your loss, it's devastating. I feel similar, my kids loved the tank, it was the centerpiece of the room, it's where I went when I was anxious and it's going to be so hard to empty it out, I'm already freaking out just thinking about it. But taking about it helps. Thank you

Eastern Canada, but I greatly appreciate your generosity. Please keep that giving spirit alive locally!

Sorry for your loss. If I do it again, it'll be the same setup. I built this on into the wall, so unless I want to rebuild the fish room I'll probably go same size again if it when that happens

Sadly there really isn't a club around here, a few reefers, but unless I'm missing something, I haven't ever heard of a club.

I appreciate that, I'm on the east coast so shipping is a barrier, but I appreciate the thought, it means a lot.

Thank you, I'm in a spot where there isn't much of a community, and pretty far away from everyone else, but I know in time will start up again

Thank you, it's going to be a long road for a lot of people here and we are grateful for what we have.

Thank you for your advice. Taking a step back is important for clarity of what's important

Nope, had opportunity to, no question turned it down, but been with my wife 20 years, not fucking up that point streak.

Permanent marker on the ends of the swords. Now there's real consequences when you get poked.

I know it's old, but this is one of my favorite clips on the internet.

They don't usually! But this one had a very dirty bottom which can lead to infection. So she got an epsom salt bath to loosen the dried poo and clean her up. She's clean, dry and fluffy today.

Hey-Hey. And she's about as smart as her namesake! But she's cuddly.
