Yep, Sapphire and I felt it too.... Just a small quake, but a funny epicentre...
I think the same fault that the Gisborne one is on caused this one AND one in Dunedin a couple of weeks ago..
All good advice given. I'm an electrician, and using incorrect fittings or start gear will seriously reduce the life of the bulb, reduce it's performance, and could (as Reef said) cause the bulb to explode. There are other possibilities such as wiring overheating ("What's that burning smell?"!) Or the bulb terminals arcing due to inadequate connections.
It's simply not worth the risk! But I see you've taken everyone's advice already! 8)
That's your choice! The Nemo Jacques was a cleaner shrimp! Our sponge is called Bob and our little star that used to be called Patrick split in two, now Pat and Rick! That's Sapphire's idea!
.... although it got the blame from me at 3 this morning for 'eating' our coral banded shrimp (Jacques) after I saw Jacques' lifeless (and meatless) corpse on the other side of the rock the brittle star was hiding under....
ummm, Jacques had shed his outer armour, he was fine..!!!! Upset me though! :oops:
I have to say, and Sapphire saw it, really, but our brittle star moves damn quick when it wants to.. If it was hungry enough.. Fish could be on the menu. Let's face it.. They don't normally eat coral, either, and ours did.
And let's face it, the winner will be the female! She's twice the size of the male! SERIOUS weight advantage! Although, it's not the size of the dog in the fight..!
:roll:
