    But when it Absolutely Positively must stay running:



    a single pump, depending on draw/size could run all night.

    But then again, whats the price on a few dozen fish, right?

    What kind of crayfish do you guys have? I was planning on setting up a small tilapia setup this summer and was kicking around the idea of adding a tank of crayfish for variety. Anyone have experiance with marbled crayfish/marmokrebs?

    I brought home some crayfish we caught at Chatfield lake and put them in my 55 gal aquarium. I found out that “there can only be one”. The one that was left standing we named Deadly. When he got to big I took him to our aquarium store we used to own and put him in a 500 gallon show tank. He lived a long and happy life (for a crayfish) as our store pet. We had a sign with his name 'Deadly' on the aquarium.

    The ironic part of all of this is that my loss was caused by trying to upgrade the electrical supply to the aquarium. I had a super old power strip that I was using and went to some new fancy technology trying to make things better and actually made things worse. What's the saying, if it ain't broke....

    Live and learn I guess.

    After my Ex lost all of her fish due to a power outages I put in a couple of these for her.
    I guess its not so much the action as it is the planning and execution.


    90w draw running for 257 Minutes.
    properly set up, either audible alarm on... or off

    I'd say the difference between an inconvenience and a fish fry

    I just caught my crayfish. There weren't anything special. They were delicious though.
