Bring on the FISH!
911 Reefer Down!!
I just left a fellow reef and fish fanatic’s house today and I feel like we all need to help this guy out. My Wife and I have seed the tank before and it was something that is only in my dreams of ever having in my own house. He had a beautiful setup and custom tanks made by our local acrylic tank manufacture. Fish that your local public aquarium would like to have and the thing was just amazing. The amount of life and moving colors was something of an inspiration.
The mental picture of the tank today is quiet. No lights on, no pumps running, no skimmers skimming, tanks mostly full of green pond like looking water and the discouraged face of the owner when I asked he if I could take a look before leaving.
This is a story that could happen to any one of us. Every thing in the tank is automated enough to go away for a week or so and so you go away for a week and come back to dead tanks. I fluke thing happens, power goes out, and even though you have a generator, the breaker some how trips on the tank and so even when the power comes back on, you known how the story ends.
He is also a very friendly and giving person. Many of you on here probably have corals that came from his tanks or rock from is frag tanks or maybe even one if his old frag tanks your using as a reef tank. I my self received from him and his generosity several large coolers full of live rock and coral frags. He hasn’t been active on here for some time now because he has been really busy with other family life stuff but I know many of you out there know the feeling.
This is one of those times where I think his good karma should be rewarded. He commented to me after giving me so much that maybe some day I will have something he could use. I’ve never forgot that and so I want to try and get together a crew of people that are able to help whip this setup back into proud operation again.
This setup is located on Whidbey Island. Any easy drive from anyone near the south Whidbey Clinton ferry.
This is a setup that will require people with large aquarium 500 gallon + experience and acrylic tank care knowledge.
Also donations of live stock would help and I have a few things my self to donate to this cause.
