Too far in is an understatement! I am sure everything will straighten itself out, they went thru much worse on the move, must have been the dip in temp as I could not run heaters without tripping the gen.

So do I, power has allready gone out twice tonight, just came back on, thought we should be good after last night but looks like another long night.

I don't recall pictures of SPS in there. So this will be a full reef?

Power was out for 10 hours, tanks were without power for about an hour while I was getting the gen and extension cords set up. No corals in the big tank, I have a 300 reef on the opposing wall. I did not do anything different than other times I have lost power and never encountered problems before, must be one of those tests to find my breaking point! Thinking a newer larger gen is in order so I can run everything. On a positive note, the kids got to sit with a flashlight and watch clown babys hatch out last night, with all the pumps off and no circulation they all gathered around the light, looked to be a few hundred of them.
