About LinkBacksWell it looks like the wind storms earlier today knocked out power in parts of Surrey and Coquitlam, as well as larger areas in the Fraser Valley. Hopefully none of the BCA members (or their tanks) have been adversely affected. We had a big windstorm/hailstorm earlier but no power outage. Saw this warning on another fish site and thought I'd better post so people know to go check to see if their home is affected.

Got buckets of hot water set aside already, just in case. The winds don't seem that bad over here in Richmond, but still, it doesn't hurt to be prepared
Dwarf cichlids = more personality per inch than just about any other fish (maybe even animal) that you'll ever have as a pet

Picked up a generator when I was doing discus. Small ones from CL is not much more that $100, good insurance.
I am pretty close to a sub-station, the longest outage in 22 years was 6 hours - including the year that JL has significant loss in their display tank. knock on wood !

Just got a bit cold because the furnace fan was not operating.
Cheers,
