No argument on the 6 line, but I kind of like the possum wrasse. That said when I had my big tank definitely was looking into a pink streaked, never came to be though.

Man how long has that tank been up? So pissed mine leaked after a less than a year.

What's the height on these guys, doesn't look higher than 16-18" maybe? n/m, sent a text, 12" tall, should have figured it says coral flat.

can't get them through any doorway in my house to put them in the backyard (and the only other option is up and over) so nope.

<Snipped rant, TL;DR i blame the power companies who haven't built out production to adequate levels, not the state... at least on everything except nuclear, that I blame the state> But ranting against the power companies aside, there is no ban on natural gas generators at least now on a...

That's weird even though CAL-ISO(?) today was saying all over the news that they managed to get through the day without any rolling blackouts. At least today is cooler, or at least it is in SF, yesterday was 86° when I dropped my kid off at school, today it was only 67°

My block isn't included either, which would be hilarious if they did shut me off, because shutting me off would actually decrease the available electricity even more due to solar and lack of big electrical things like AC, during daylight hours I am a net producer of energy. I do wonder if...

That definitely is cool, "distributed power generation" should be a thing, and it should be a way to get rid of companies like PG&E, but alas they gotta own all the lines and every chance they get need to push legislation (the fact they do that is another gripe) to penalize solar customers.

Wow, $2 per kWh? Yikes! Sucks that it'll just get turned around and charged back to customers though, like they couldn't do something similar already? I mean what is the Powerwall? around 13 kWh or something? Roughly 75 of them is 1 MWh, and there's quite a few more than 75...

I've heard of them doing a program like that, elsewhere where there are major issues with electricity (compared to us), I want to say somewhere in Australia. I just can't imagine there really are that many Powerwalls that it would really make that much of a difference, like how many are...

I'm guessing an arc fault breaker could have prevented this, I mean that's basically what they were made for to detect arcing (which I'm guessing is what caused said fire)

Do so research on smoke alarms, ones that work via ionization technology may have a lot of false alarms in high humidity environments these tend to be the older type that has radioactive stuff in them (Americium if memory serves), ones that use photo detection method (think safety beam for...

I would not advise heating it, granted PG&E execs will thank you greatly for adding to their yearly portfolio, but you should not even be thinking about making any sort of tropical (temperature) pond outdoors in this climate. You could build a greenhouse around it, but IMO that would probably...

California parks official government site doesn't mention anything about insurance, a lot of insurance pages of course highly recommends it, although that one mentioned specifically says you MUST have it

Absolutely love this picture, the way the fishing poles are it looks like you caught yourself 5 ships, or are towing them.

Is insurance something you have to have? Or is it simply like the main purpose of insurance used to be "just in case shit happens"

Yeah that's one of the reason for me... but I got a lot of reasons :D

Break Out Another Thousand

Oh yeah? Always wondered what happened to your Reefbot. So it stopped working and the company ghosted you as far as support? Or was it one of those "send it back to us and we'll fix it for almost the cost of a new one" level of support? (similar to what a lot of larger companies do in this...

Yeah I know they had the mini version for $100 (plus whatever connectors you need since it's truly bare bones) but the open circuit board design just kind of turned me off as I've seen more than one piece of open air electronics corrode anywhere near my tanks. Is inrush current really a worry...
