kmacc05 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So, my wanting to upgrade has now turned into a forced restart. Last Thursday at 1:30am my apartment building caught fire. It was the International Residence complex off of Lakecreek & 183. I don't know if any of you heard about this or saw it on the news. I lived in building 13 which was where it started. I believe it started in the apt directly across the wall from us. Our building was one of three to burn entirely to the ground, Nothing salvageable. Not even close. And my reef tank was included in that unfortunately. I only had the tank up and running about two months or so. Now it is all gone. Not only just the tank. We were lucky enough to get out safely with only the clothes that we were able to throw on before evacuating the building. I tried to sign on and post this earlier, but we have had a lot to deal with. Now that Christmas is over and things are settling down, I have a little more time to send out emails and make some posts about the events that took place. If anyone knows of any spare parts or equipment that can be donated to starting over, I would be forever grateful. It is time to start saving up for a new place to live and rebuilding and replacing as much as we can that was lost. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer.

FarmerTy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Klayton, Sorry about the devastating loss man. It isn't much but when you get another tank up a running, hit me up and I'd be happy to replace any of the frags you got from me... plus some freebies. -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmacc05 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks Ty! I appreciate that a lot. It will take some time to get back to it. Got to save up some cash and find a place to live first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Can defiantly help with some frags. I have an extra korelia 750 I just can't find the outside magnet for it. Check with your insurance, some times you can claim your live rock, tank, and hardware. Just no live stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Did you have renters insurance? I can always help with some frags when you get back up and running, but if you need any home-goods, I may be able to help with that as well. I have a garage full of stuff from my old apartments and my Wifes stuff from college we were going to go through and donate to Goodwill. I'd prefer it go to you if you might be able to use some of it. PM me if you would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I just upgraded my return pump, the original was a mag 12. If that will work for you you can have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esacjack Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I dont have much in the line of extra parts, but I'd be more than happy to help in any way possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmacc05 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thank you. We are trying to find a storage unit right now to store a lot of the things we have been getting. Anything helps in times like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Monnat Jr Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 That really sucks and you have my best wishes and prayers. I don't have much in the way of equipment except a 20g you can use as a QT/hospital/temporary tank. I work right by those apartments, and my coworker was scheduled to move in last Saturday, just after the fire. You can use some of my garage space instead of paying for a storage unit if you want.

mFrame Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Are you receiving any help from local groups or agencies? What is the most useful thing that we can provide you? Clothing (sizes)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko's Reef Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Truly sorry about this tragic event Klayton. I'll keep your family in my prayers. I have a coralife 150 MH hang on that you are welcomed to. It functions and the bulb is still good, but fan is a little loud at 1st. Stops after a few minutes. Also have HOB filters, chemicals, hospital tanks, and some other items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+etannert Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have some pots and pans you can have. I also have a bunch of bath stuff and some clothes I was getting ready to donate. I'm sure we can help with frags when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
