Re: New Zoos

He does have really nice things there. I have been to his place. The story about the storm I realy have a hard time with reason being Vicki & I were in LA on Sunday there were no heavy power outage storms if there were our stuff would have had the same results. LA was just a bit cool is all. ALl of the Fish & Corals that we brought back look great. JMO

Re: New Zoos

I was wondering about that too Jack. I knew yall were down that way and didn't hear about anything like that. Maybe it wasn't storm related but more of some other "power altering" even like a car accident or something. We lost power a couple of weeks ago when a drunk driver decided his car was the Bat Mobile and try to fly THROUGH a power pole and a tree. It cut the pole in half and didn't do the tree a lot of good. Fortunately no one else was involved. Other than his destroyed Bat Mobile and a broken nose no other damage was done. but we lost power for 3 hours. My little battery back-up worked like a charm.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: New Zoos

I found it hard to believe that I company that relies on its Living animals doesnt have a back-up system, to KEEP the alive. But Oh, well what can I do.
I even recieved a shipping conformation earlier in the day. Wierd!

He is fairly new to the business & cost I know from his location are very high. I agree a backup system would have been a great hting for him to have but most Wholesalers do not. Very unfortunate

I find that very unfortunate. With technology and commercialization the way it is back-up power systems are so much more "Affordable" now than they have every been. It's to the point here in the Mountains of NC that we are just about selling a back-up power source for 1/5 of the custom homes we deal with. That's an ASTRONOMICAL increase over just 3 years ago when we didn't even know HOW to get one in IF someone wanted one. For as little as 3-5K someone can have a small, simple and automatic power back up system in your home for "Essential" operations.
