I had to pull my backup system out a couple of times this year. I use a marine battery, power inverter to plug in power strips into as a back up (don't have a generator and no place to have one in my townhouse). Not too expensive of a set up and have the marine battery on a trickle charger...
Do you have pics? Interested if available after today's meeting. Can't make it to today's meeting.

Nicholas, congratulations. I hope my group will get over bloat soon so I can get back to having holding females. Been way too long but I do now see the end in sight the way my group is starting to behave. Fry are a blast to raise.
Found the following link on the ECC forum and thought it would be of interest (particularly since it is about Ps. Saulosi which I keep).

Mixed the aquarium beautiful ballot with the raffle ticket together for this year's Am. Nevertheless, the concept is the important part here regarding the door prize idea.

Maybe a change in marketing wording. Registered users already get one free raffle ticket. Change the wording to a "Door prize" in the marketing material and list the drawing at a particular time (can and probably should be separate for the actual raffle that occurs on saturday) in the...
Been a while since I posted due to my schedule and also dealing with bloat that took some of my Rusties and some of my Ps. Saulosi. My last susccess was October with a batch of Ps. Saulosi being spit just to lose the batch about a week and a half later, then bloat hit.
Well, going to AquaMania...
Thanks to all of those who have expressed interest. Since no responses to confirm were received prior to bagging fix, I need to close the Rusty posting. I must leave the meeting early for a family commitment and can't return home until late and do not want to stress the fish or risk worse...
I have about 20 or so Rusty fry/juveniles available for sale for this Saturday's meeting.
I have a family commitment at 3pm so I can't stay for the talk and auction.
PM me if you are interested.
I use Argonite by mixing some with the PFS substrate and I also keep it in a filter bag in the last shelf of my canister filter (water gets cleaned before hitting the argonite). I used to buffer with baking soda and epsom salt as well but have stopped adding since June.
Since I keep Ps. Saulosi and also enjoyed Ad Konings talk at AquaMania earlier this year, I found this video quite interesting.

Note: I found the video an another cichlid related forum and tracked back the video to the youtube site. Credit for this...
Wow, hope you heal fast. Whomever did this to you has a freight train of karma coming their way (deservedly so). Feel better soon and a quick recovery.
I had a switch in dominate females over the summer. I have a third recently stripped fry from two weeks ago. My new dominate female seems to be much more prolific (2 bacthes in a month and a half compared to 1 in over a year for the last dominate female). I am sure that I will have more in...
I have 7 Psedotropheus Saulosi Juvies for sale. They are about an 1" in size.
