![]() I've got my 2 MJ1200's in the display running, and the return pump plus the AC1000 (pusing through UV sterilizer) in the sump to keep the water moving. The heater is back on and is slowly going to bring the temp back up.

![]() Are any of your corals stressed? They may be releasing something into the water, so perhaps adding carbon to the mix would be good.
Other then that its just a wating game. I really hope everything pulls through for you. |

![]() Point the power heads at the surface so that you get lots of surface movement to force oxygen into the water. Also if you have a skimmer make sure that it is running.
Angels are very finicky about low oxygen levels. I lost 2 beautiful angels when I lost circulation in my tank overnight. |

I've got both pointed right at the surface making some nice waves, I'm going to keep the lights off for another few hours. Skimmer is running as well. All the corals are actually looking crappy, but nothing is looking really bad. I need to add in some carbon but I'll have to wait until I get home to do that. UPDATE - Seems that everything is perking back up. My tang is kosher, and my Angel is gone from the spot he was, so maybe that's a good sign, I hope... |

![]() Unfortunately not - usually our power outtages are a few hours, when it happened I figured there'd be no issues and realized there were when our daughters woke us up in the morning and I was late for work

![]() too bad
![]() I would definately get at least one battery powered airpump per tank and use a thick blanket to cover the tank in and/or float 2L soda pop bottles with warm/hot water in the tank is temp starts dropping too low. Hope everyone pulls through

![]() sux to hear. I hope all your stuff survives okay.
in the future you might want to look into a backup energy source in case of an outage. options could include... 1) a generator if you can afford it (you'd have to be around to turn it on) 2) a UPS (uninterruptible power source... i think). they're made for computers but i use one on my tank. 3)pennplax airpump. you just kind of leave it in thetank and when power goes out, it come on. they're the battery powered ones. |
