I've got a video coming up. It's pretty late in the fishy day so the blues are up pretty high in both tanks.

OK! I said I would, so I did! It's my usual quality and the lights were winding down, AND you can hear "Zootopia" in the back ground lol.
Enjoy the wonder that is a slice of my life!

Yup. That movie is pretty darn good! We've watched it like 4 times already because the kiddo loves it and I actually dont mind either. It's better than watching the minion movie for the 1 millionth time.

Thanks! It's pretty easy, but depends on if your using a computer or the app. On the computer you just push the "upload a file" button and choose one from your files! videos are easy since you can upload to youtube and just copy and past the video link into your post. You just hit the button marked "share" or whatever symbol they use for that and copy the code the supply. I'd have to look at the app to tell you how on that one since it changed some. Hope that helps some!

Man! No... I keep meaning to take my kiddo but each time something happens that keeps us from going. I've heard nothing but good things about it too.

well it happened again! We lost power at about 2 am and it's still out 13 hours later. My neighbor has a generator so I plugged in a powerhead for the big tank so the fish dont die from lack of oxygen, but now i'm worried they will boil in the hot house. I had to take myself and my kiddo to my parent's house where they have electrical still and a/c. I keep checking my apex to see if it has power, but not yet. Wish my poor babies luck yall! I'm actually praying for more rain to cool things off here in the hottest part of the day.

The power just came back on and now that I can see everything.... it appears that everybody survived. I should bake some cookies for my neighbor for letting me use his generator. Other people would have plugged in a window a/c or a fridge, but me? I used it for a power head. lol

Just a suggestion in the event it happens again. Have a couple fans ready that can be pointed at the waters surface. I'm always amazed how well evaporative cooling works. They should put minimal load on the generator and will do a great deal to keep the temp manageable if you loose power again.

Yes! Great point! I thought about that after I got to my parent's house and realized the temp was rising quickly outside. I have a couple fans that would work well for this, I just didn't think of it at the right time. Luckily for me, when the apex came back on it was reading the temp at only 80 degrees and I keep it at 78 on the regular, so I guess it wasn't so bad as I feared.
