When you decide what you want to do, let us know. If you decide to restock and start over, we can organize a "restock Joe's tank" get-together and bring frags, etc to the party. Let us know how we can help.

Peace.

That's a great idea. It'll be like a Can Reef community tank

Someone bring the pizza and beer.

Geez Joe, that's super lame. I've lost my fair share of fish/mantis shrimp and definitely feel for you. I'd be happy to donate some live rocks if you need to get your tank back on track. Just let me know.

Really, really sorry to hear about your tank and losses.

Thanks for the support everyone.

All my rock work is epoxied together so I will have to wait for a day off to get it pulled out and all the unfound dead things pulled out. After that I will do a big water change and see how things go from there.

Need to do some equipment changes as well so thats also in consideration of what I am doing going forward.

Thanks again all.

I went through 5 days without power in the 2006 storm and lost most of my fish an corals.

This time it was 38 hours and I survived with only a few lost Monitporas. What saved me this time was the battery powered air pump that kept the water moving.

There were only 2 blocks out in our neighbourhood and it was annoying seeing houses around us with power. However, my losses were not too great. I heard that there were over 2000 line repairs and I knew we would be near the end of the list here in Deep Cove.

looks like I didn't come out as unscathed as I thought. Last night I noticed 3 Acro's looking a little sick. Turning a weird blotchy brown color, I'm thinking they just took a few days to show how unhappy living in cold water made them...

Ah well, all in all not a devastating loss or anything, still lame though...

I lost a few frags here and there and the Achilles is pack full of ick.... hopefully it will make it through. Ding it.

Man that sucks guys. Hope all gets better

Sorry to hear about everyone's losses

During the 2006 outage we went the route of inverter for about 24hrs then got, I think, the last generator in town (seriously).

Since then I will not be without a generator... too much of an investment to risk not having one! Me.. the tank, hubby.. the TV

We do get a few outages every winter, but nothing like this last one.

Anyway, also had to learn the hard way how to properly look after the generator so it starts again the next time! I make sure now to run the fuel line empty before turning off the generator switch.. and testing it monthy or every other month.

I will also start to use the Shell premium.. thanks for the helpful info!

Again, sorry for those that had losses and may still have some to face

Besides the drop in temp and oxygen, the pH would have got ugly too. Lots of factors in the mix.
