Sorry about the trigger. Bad way to loose a prize fish. Hope all settles out and relaxation ensues soon.
thanks greg,...its been a hayride the last month or two but (hopefully ) I've managed to turn the tide and can proceed accordingly,....on the plus side i did manage to get my van back on wednesday afternoon with a completely rebuilt engine ,new ac etc etc....&7000.00 later I'm back on four wheels again and it feels wonderful !
I also managed to book another trip to Hawaii at the end of september,...this time we'll be going to the kopoho tide pools just south of hilo ,...it'll be interesting to see what's in store for us exploring ( snorkeling ) these tide pools every day.
tank wise,.. little change in things,...my gf laura was pretty upset at losing the triggerfish but still understands the ups and downs of reef keeping., unfortunately, it'll prob be a little while until i start to restock the tank again.
tonite's the night that the power company has chosen to once again shut off our power ( rescheduled ) from 10 pm until 8 am
so with cold beers and a generator standing by i will once again attempt to keep the power on during the outage.
i truly enjoy the inputs re my trials and tribulations of my tank,., hopefully someday ill figure everything out and i can have that beautiful tank that most of you take for granted,..until then ill have to keep my ears and eyes open in high hopes that i too can pick up some valuable info from you guys,...thanks again, Dary
