Very interesting thread. Seen you haven't been on for a while but hopefully you come back and give an update. I was a little depressed when you said you were selling the 180, then I saw your 270 and was happy.

Is this your upgrade to the 270?

I like this thread. Any update on how it's doing now?

Sorry for your loss that happened about 8 years ago.

juniorrocketdad · 12/14/2014, 07:31 AM

Wow this story inspires me to take every precaution with my reef tank and hope something as tragic as your crash doesn't happen to me, I'm glad to see you have restarted best of luck!

Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong! Just read this incredible story. With advances in science and cloud technology, hopefully one day we will be able to remotely monitor and control the reef tank system more economically and efficiently. Till then we can just be extra cautious. I am lucky to have a LFS within 1 mile of me. I may utilize them to baby sit my tank if I ever am on vacation.

Kingofnintendo · 12/28/2014, 12:42 AM

Amazing story! I am so jealous of your tank and if your still on would love some update photos!

nathan1986 · 05/01/2015, 08:04 PM

Definatly an interesting timeline of someones ups, downs, fun exciting moments and new beginings in reefing.

maxxII · 05/07/2015, 09:12 PM

This is a neat thread.
Definitely shows the power of perseverance.

Hopefully Buddy Pine will post again sometime soon and let us know how things are going.

Sunstar · 05/12/2015, 06:26 PM

Wow, I was devastated at the crash. Always that bit of equipment... Mine was the ATO top off tube falling into the tank and crashing it. Hope he replies.

Unless the octo was somehow immortal, it would be dead by now... check the dates people! Pygmy octos only live 6 months to a year.
