    I’m back! We’ll kind of

    I have’s posted in a long time! In 2020Hurricane Laura struck next door to me in Cameron La. I had evacuated to Dallas and by the time I returned everything was pretty much toast. I decided at nearly 70 and losing years of work and near 7500 dollars worth of livestock to call it quits. The...

    Discuss Were you prepared for the freeze?

    I was actually in a pretty good place for this event as far as tanks. Mine was destroyed in Laura 11 days without power in the summer heat. The other tank that I maintain and stock is in a school with a large diesel powered generator. The house tank was SPS and they just don’t do well with...

    Reef Cleaners?

    No I have a nice frag tank ready to set up with everything I need. I just haven’t been real motivated. It has been a nice break. The CUC was for the schools 300. I have been busy with the farm and rejuvenating my boat for the spring fishing season.

    Reef Cleaners?

    It might just be the Holidays. They were my goto for cleanup. I was hoping something hadn’t happened!

    Casualties from Laura

    Had a generator on it by Friday morning. All LPS zoas and palys survived but as SPS people know it is very unforgiving. I will start back up with a new frag tank that I had purchased right before the storm. I need to do some mods to the house before coming back with a 180-220 rimless. So maybe a...

    Casualties from Laura

    I lost all SPS lots of colonies. Being 1/4 mile off the beach and in the bullseye of a 150 mph storm I wasn’t going to leave my generator. Fish were dead when I got back from Dallas on Friday. House was 96 inside and water to 94. I saved some LPS ANd zoas and palys. School rented a portable 18...

    Two Hurricanes In The Gulf

    Not too much. 2000$ worth of SPS and maybe 2500 LPS and 1500 in fish. Most of the coral from frags to colonies over 7-8 years. But I also had a goat ranch with 25000 dollars worth of livestock I had to evacuate. Now we just hold our breath. Thats life it is all a big cra& shoot come on daddy...

    Two Hurricanes In The Gulf

    Well my plan was always to move everything to the schools 300. Cummins came to do some maintenance to the generator, did something wrong and caused a piston to go through the block. 15 weeks for new one so no AC no backup power all I can say is high and dry. So I am moving about 5 grand worth of...

    Two Hurricanes In The Gulf

    I am under a mandatory evacuation as of 6A Tuesday. I figure it will be Sat before I get back in. If it is like the last majors Rita and Ike about 2 weeks before we get power back. So I will be taking a posterity picture of the reef before I leave.
