Best of luck man. I have a backup generator I bought 3 yrs ago that is still in plastic. Worst case I have it!

Thank you sir! Things are still looking good now but the temperature is slowly getting hotter outside.

I like how they expect the power to be out 2 days when its 100 out here in Texas this week. SMDH. If I wasnt on a propane tank at the house I would definitely install a 20kw full home generator, installed they are about 9k. Maybe if they run natural gas like they are talking about i will pull the trigger on it.

No kidding! I did get a bump up to tonight at 10pm, so things might be a bit more hopeful now.

A whole home generator would be nice!

It's a good thing you have a working freezer down the street! Turn off your ATO and top off with RO ice!

FarmerTy · 06/04/2018, 10:38 PM

The forums gave me a good avenue to be a squeaky wheel. The minute I complained about not having electricity still at 9pm... 20 HOURS LATER, the electric company texted and said we have a green light... Or any light for that matter! We have electricity again!

Thank you... Oh thank you magic bubbling wand of life and its buddy, the $6 bait bucket bubbler from Wal-Mart!

Thank you ye old $3 mercury thermometer suctioned cupped to the glass to help me keep an eye on temps.

And most importantly, thank you my brand new generator, your awesome 1800 watts of life giving power... Letting me run my return pump, 2 MP60s, a small fan, and even my Monster Reef Octopus skimmer rated for 450 gallons... And the occasional recharging of my phone.

We survived... We did it. We are exhausted... Goodnight all and thank you for the well wishes and support.

Got some new goodies in the mail today. Here's some quick phone snaps of them. I'll follow up with some nice DSLR shots when I get my macro lens back from my brother this weekend.

Copps Lemon Lime Hyacinthus
I ordered a large frag, he sent a colony.

Copps Hulk Mille and the one I ordered the pack for, old school 20k lokani. I've been searching high and low for this old classic.

This pack from a fellow reefer:
BC shizo
West side purplishous
RR Red Bull
TGC Inner Planet
Jose Rainbow
Hungs Rainbow Explosion

The Hung's Rainbow Explosion is ridiculous. I'll let it settle and snap some pics with a good camera this weekend to let everyone see what I'm talking about! Its so nice, I actually saved the encrustment. I never save the encrustment.

HBL · 06/08/2018, 12:09 AM

Lol. I was about to ask what's with the missing frag? Excited to see more pictures of that rainbow explosion.

As promised, the Hungs Rainbow Explosion. This is under whites btw, I heard it looks amazing under blues too but I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet under those conditions.

HBL · 06/11/2018, 03:31 PM

I was pretty surprised myself and had to get a piece of it!

The Hungs Truly Unbelievable on the Battlecorals website is amazing too. I'll have to take an updated picture of it. It's starting to show some promise.

HBL · 06/11/2018, 03:38 PM

They are not the same corals?

You know, that's a really good question actually.

To the Google!

HBL · 06/11/2018, 03:54 PM

Found it. Not sure if this is allow but here a link where Hung mentioned that indeed they are the same coral.

Yeah, that didn't work. I guess you can Google "********* battlecorals pieces spotlight." Within that thread, read post #16.

Thanks for the research! I'm just going to ask Hung. He's a nice guy and is pretty responsive usually but it seems like I'll have a fragging colony and a display colony now.

Confirmed by Hung... I'm an idiot. Oh wait, he didn't say that part but he did confirm its one and the same... But being an idiot is implied if I bought two of the same expensive but awesome coral.

CC Heaven and Hell

SunnyX Sunset Mille

PC Rainbow

Now, your PM land might get slam because people now know you have a fragable colony. At least I know who to reach out to when I'm ready for a drag of this beauty.

Haha, it's going straight back to its namesake. Hung is getting the piece back to recover it after the crash he had last year. Hit me up when you're ready. It'll be another 3-4 months and I'll have some good fraggable pieces then.

It's easily top 5 in the tank, not getting caught up in the newest or most popular... Just by sheer looks.
