Holy crap we just had an earthquake

[DOGFISH]

It was freaky, Ron. Sorry to hear about your loss. Luckily, my fish tanks at home and our wine rack escaped unscathed. Some things knocked over but nothing broke.

John, what type fish do you keep? Glad they survived.

I was walking to a doctor's appointment at the time and didn't feel a thing. I got to the building the office is in, and a bunch of people came rushing out looking worried, which seemed weird. As I walked in, I heard someone say something about an earthquake, but I thought they were talking about the one in Colorado. I walk into the doctor's office, and noone was there, which also seemed weird. I grabbed a magazine and suddenly getting a bunch of texts from my wife, folks, and a buddy asking if I'm OK. It was just a routine appointment, sheesh. Then the office manager came in and informed me about what I had missed and everything finally made sense. Pretty funny.

There was one that started in the same area in 2005, I think, that I felt in Solomons. I was sitting at my desk on an exercise ball, which suddenly shifted sideways. It wasn't particularly noticeable because the building I'm in shakes in a 20mph breeze.

Thanks Don. No water got knocked out, either. Maybe not as much shake at home. I dunno but it sure shook the 8th floor of the building where I work!

I have a 150gal reef tank with a Hawaiian Black Trigger, yellow Tang, Flame Angel, Hippo Tang and some Green Chromis. Mostly soft corals but added a couple SPSP frags recently that are doing surprisingly well. Then, I have a 37gal freshwater community tank with neons, Black, skirt tetras, Brilliant Rasbora's, Angelica loaches, cory cats & a couple otocinclus. I also have a backyard pond with some butterfly koi, regular koi and shubunkin goldfish. The 10gal tank at work is also a freshwater community tank...

Bill, That's a funny story, Could be right out of a sitcom!

John, just curious. I have two tanks myself, of African Cichlids. One tank is 180 and the other 210. I was not home at the time, but they fared well. I have often thought of a pond outside.

LOL! Anytime, anytime MM. However, if you're coming over six ain't nearly enough!

Don, That is one species I've never tried. Don't know why. And if you do decide to put a pond in you will like the butterfly koi. Very nice.
